Barbarians At The Gate?

Last updated on: October 10, 2013 at 9:04 pm By Christopher Smith

We are, in essence, the barbarians at the gates of our North American culture, but the question remains: will we prefer to continue in the barbaric ways that have emerged over the course of the modern age, or will we be converted to a way of life that seeks not to conquer – other humans, land or the mysteries of life – but to live peaceably with all humanity, and especially those who are closest at hand in our faith communities and our neighborhoods?

Judith Valente – ATCHISON BLUE – Review (Patheos Book Club)

Last updated on: September 27, 2013 at 2:46 pm By Christopher Smith

Valente’s candor about her sinfulness was something I found refreshing in this book. As a result, her slow, halting steps toward conversatio feel hard-earned and real and not just spiritual idealism. There is a confessional quality in Valente’s account of Benedictine spirituality that I have not seen in the works of other Benedictine writers; for instance, the more famous Kathleen Norris or Esther de Waal.

Last updated on: September 18, 2013 at 1:49 pm By Christopher Smith

I had the opportunity to do a workshop on Slow Church and Comprehensive Community Development at the Christian Community Development Association (CCDA) conference in New Orleans last Friday.
