Cross-Shaped Leadership Review

Last updated on: December 11, 2009 at 12:49 pm By Tim Suttle

John A. Berntsen. Cross-Shaped Leadership in the Rough and Tumble of Parish Practice. Herndon, VA: The Alban Institute, 2008. John Berntsen is a new author to me, but this book is a real find for those who are tired of hearing about “church” leadership from Collins, Dupree & Maxwell. With an MDiv. from Yale and a Ph.D from Emory, he’s got an incredible pedigree and he writes well. Berntsen’s starting point is that qualification for leadership is not really about... Read more

Last Session

Last updated on: September 11, 2009 at 9:17 am By Tim Suttle

A woman who was disabled, I think she has Cerebral Palsy, struggled to ask a question from the mic. She said she read “a crucified God” in 1975 and for the first time in her life, she actually owned her identity as the image of God and not something less than a full human being. She asked him, “How to people with disabilities who are both a burden and a blessing to the church find their life in the church.”... Read more

Moltmann part 2

Last updated on: September 11, 2009 at 7:25 am By Tim Suttle

These are just a few notes from yesterday: THE NATURE OF ATONEMENTChristology of solidarity: he suffers with us.He suffers for us – for us the guiltyThose two sides go together. That he suffers for us is the reconciling part. He was given up for our sins and raised up for our justification. One the one hand the payment for sins, on the other hand our justification through the resurrection. Forgiveness of sin is a negative act which clears the negative... Read more

In the Room with Jurgen Moltmann

Last updated on: September 10, 2009 at 7:33 am By Tim Suttle

I’m in Chicago listening to Jurgen Moltmann speak as I write this. It’s an incredible thing to sit and listen live to a person who has had such an incredible impact on my thinking and my faith. He talked just a little bit about his time as a visiting lecturer at Duke. He was on faculty at Tubingen and the time, where they asked the questions “what is the church?” But in Durham in 1967-68 and they wanted to know... Read more

More Jesus and the Political

Last updated on: August 10, 2009 at 8:51 am By Tim Suttle

I read this today in a book by Richard Rohr and thought it would apply not only to the discussion in the previous post, but to the hateful speech I’ve been seeing on television during the political forums in the past few weeks. “They’re not credible prophets. If we hate people who don’t agree with us, if we feel righteous and superior to those who have different politics, we’re not in the Spirit. Until that grace is given, we should... Read more

Jesus and the Political

Last updated on: July 17, 2009 at 12:13 pm By Tim Suttle

A blog reader asked me two questions in a recent comment: “Is Obama who you thought he was? and has America changed for the better(long term) since he was elected?” I thought about it a bit and started writing a response, but it was too long so I made it into this post. Here’s my response: Q1: Obama seems to be about what I expected him to be. Q2: I don’t think America has changed appreciably since he took office.... Read more

Kempis on Suffering

Last updated on: June 29, 2009 at 9:56 am By Tim Suttle

“Jesus has many lovers of His heavenly kingdom, but few bearers of his cross. He has many seekers of consolation, but few of tribulation. He finds many companions at His feasting, but few at his fasting. All desire to rejoice in him; few are willing to endure anything for him. Many follow Jesus as far as the breaking of bread, but few to the drinking of the cup of his passion. Many reverence his miracles, but few will follow the... Read more

Fish Get’s it Right

Last updated on: May 18, 2009 at 11:14 am By Tim Suttle

Stanley Fish’s article God-talk helps me to think through some of what has been bantered about on this blog and in some off-line discussions over the past few weeks. As always, it takes someone much more eloquent than I to make sense of what I’m thinking. I don’t agree with everything he’s saying, but I like general line of advance. Thanks to Nate Jackson for sending me a link to this great article. If you are brave, read part 2... Read more
