MY CAMP!

Anyone who has a connection to camp knows how special 'their' camp is. This is my camp. over 115 years old, this camp of 130 acres between the Kalamazoo River and the shore of Lake Michigan in Saugatuck, MI. Tomorrow its current owners are going to decide whether or not to sell it to a developer who will build luxery homes OR to sell it to a conservation group who will conserve it and keep it a camp. Please sign this petition TONIGHT 2/7 to help prevent it from being sold to the developer.

You may not agree with a woman, but to criticize her appearance — as opposed to her ideas or actions — isn’t doing anyone any favors, least of all you. Insulting a woman’s looks when they have nothing to do with the issue at hand implies a lack of comprehension on your part, an inability to engage in high-level thinking. You may think she’s ugly, but everyone else thinks you’re an idiot.

I'm really glad I got to read this post from Racialicious on Django. It's a great post to learn about racial dialogue and to hear lots of perspectives on Django.

So what is the real argument? The other lie to nail is that people who “believe in the Bible” or who “take it literally” will oppose women’s ordination. Rubbish. Yes, I Timothy ii is usually taken as refusing to allow women to teach men. But serious scholars disagree on the actual meaning, as the key Greek words occur nowhere else. That, in any case, is not where to start.

How is it possible that N.T. Wright can dislodge 1 Tim 2 from its powerful misappropriation in just 5 sentences? 

I couldn't be more pleased.
