Living in the Tension – Mon. 4/22

Last updated on: April 21, 2013 at 4:15 pm By Andrew Marin

We will be meeting for our regular Living in the Tension gathering this Monday, April 22, at 7pm. In light of the events last week with the tragedy in Boston, we wanted to discuss ideas about our humanity with regards to our respective faith backgrounds. Are we inherently evil and damaged individuals who occasionally happen to do good? Is there something to the idea of total depravity? Are we good and beautiful people who mess up every now and then?... Read more

When Abortion Became Real

Last updated on: May 9, 2013 at 12:25 pm By Andrew Marin

This post is written by Brenda Marin, originally posted on her blog–much of which details our journey of infertility. Another hot button issue in our country is of course abortion. I must admit that I am in most accounts Pro-life and always have been. My faith and my moral framework have shaped this as a choice for me. I however, do understand that there are times when very serious decisions need to be made with regards to the health of... Read more

Why Not Answer?

Last updated on: April 17, 2013 at 7:53 am By Andrew Marin

This post is written by Michael Kimpan, our Associate Director at The Marin Foundation. — It strikes me as odd that in an increasingly pluralistic and post-modern society, there is still a seeming addiction to closed-ended, one-word, YES or NO answers that sum up an entire worldview and perspective that tells me if you’re one of ‘us’ or one of ‘them’ – if I can trust you or if I should despise you, if you’re for me or against me — and all...

I Wish People Would Keep It Real When Talking About Sex

Last updated on: April 12, 2013 at 2:43 am By Andrew Marin

PS- 99.9% of the world don’t look like these two… But don’t let real life non-model looks dictate your marriage’s sex life! This post is from Andrew Marin, President and Founder of The Marin Foundation. The other day on Twitter I noticed someone retweeted an article from Relevant Magazine on the 4 Things We Wish We Knew About Sex Before We Were Married. Seeing I like to study the topic of sex and sexuality, etc, I opened it immediately, as Relevant... Read more

Falling in Love

Last updated on: April 8, 2013 at 1:45 pm By Andrew Marin

The following post is from Kevin Harris, the Administrative Assistant and Director of Community Relations at The Marin Foundation. “Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. ‘I am willing,’ he said. ‘Be clean!’ Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cured.” In reading the story of Jesus healing the leper in Mark 1, I find myself falling in love with Jesus all over again.

Living in the Tension Gathering – Mon April 8

Last updated on: April 6, 2013 at 3:30 pm By Andrew Marin

Now that the dust has settled, we’re bringing this conversation back. Join us this upcoming Monday, April 8th, as we discuss Beyonce’s Superbowl half-time show and use it as a springboard to talk about power and female sexuality and its expression. Was the performance about power or sex or both? Was it an example of an empowered woman giving the middle finger to sexism or a woman grasping for power within a culturally pre-sketched, male-dominated framework of sexuality? Did the... Read more

Proximity and Relationship.

Last updated on: October 24, 2014 at 9:51 am By Andrew Marin

This post is written by Michael Kimpan, our Associate Director at The Marin Foundation. — There’s credibility and power in proximity and relationship. It is impossible to advance the message of reconciliation without being in proximity to and relationship with those who’ve been marginalized. Proximity to and relationship with the marginalized instills in us an ability to see beyond the misinformation which has too often led to the dehumanization and lessening of those known as ‘the Other.’ It’s easy to...
