I'm not feeling like Mr. Creative today so I thought I'd just point you to some interesting stuff I've bumped into lately:
- Two new Lutheran blogs on my blogroll. Incarnatus Est by Pr. Greg Alms. He's new so not lots there yet, but he is posting some pretty insightful theology. And CyberStones by the meek, soft-spoken, ever winsome rose petal, Pr. David Petersen. He'd be alright if he'd ever stop beating around the bush and just say what's on his mind, geesh!
- In honor of yesterday being Trinity Sunday, here is a nice essay by Dr. David Webber on the filioque clause of the Nicene Creed. He offers a Lutheran perspective on the controversy.
- As the ELCA (Evangelical Lutheran Church of America) moves toward ordaining practicing homosexuals and blessing homosexual unions this summer, you'll be reading a lot more stories like this one. Pastors, congregations and individual laypeople are gonna bail out. And if it doesn't happen this summer, it will soon enough. With the ELCA's low view of the authority of Scripture, there's really nothing to prevent it. They'll just keep "studying" the issue until they come up with the answer they want.
- Dr. Gene Veith's review of Star Wars: The Revenge of the Sith. You should subscribe to WORLD magazine, if for no other reason, to read Dr. Veith's culture reviews and columns each week.
- Roman Catholic priest denies communion to supporters of homosexuality. He did the right thing. According to St. Paul, if an unrepentant person communes, he is eating and drinking God's judgment onto himself.
