Welcome, Xtranormalers!

Last updated on: April 12, 2011 at 12:12 pm By John Shore

If you’ve linked here from today’s interview with me on the Xtranormal blog, hi! Welcome! I see that at the moment the interview has a few missing links in it. I’m sure they’ll fix those right up, but, in the meantime, this’ll fill in some of the blanks. This is the “Theology Bears” video mentioned in the interview: This is the video my wife Catherine made (the one mentioned under the question about my favorite Xtranormal videos not made by...

Good morning! Happy Monday! Okay, well, anyway, it’s Monday. Above is my entry in the Xtranormal Film Festival. As you may know, I postponed this week’s episode of The Smith Family Chronicles so that I’d have time to make this short.

Как бы поступил Иисус если бы его пригласили на свадьбу гомосексуалистов?

Last updated on: April 5, 2011 at 10:19 am By John Shore

Меня недавно пригласили на пару гей-свадеб. Так вот, с тем, что я — христианин, и все такое, я задал себе известный вопрос: Что бы сделал Иисус? (Что я не так часто у себя спрашиваю, честно говоря, так как Иисус мог, например, воскрешать людей из мертвых и превращать воду в вино, а я, по сравнению, едва могу вытянуться из постели утром и (или) превратить воду в кофе. Можно с уверенностью сказать, что много его вариантов мне не по силам.) Размышление о... Read more

Scott Anderson’s Objection Based on Conscience

Last updated on: April 3, 2011 at 7:13 pm By John Shore

This is Scott Anderson’s “scruple,” or objection based on conscience, to Article G-6.0106b of the Presbyterian (U.S.A.) Book of Order, which has long been used to exclude openly gay and lesbian people from being deemed acceptable for ordination. It was due in large part to this document that Scott Anderson became the first openly gay man ordained for ministry by Presbyterian (U.S.A.). Affirmation of Conscience Regarding G-6.0106b Scott D.
