Remixing N.T. Wright with Frank Viola (Wright’s opponents greatest misrepresentations)

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 9:31 pm By Kurt Willems

As you know if you read this blog regularly, NT Wright is the theologian that I’ve been influenced by most. Here, I give an excerpt of an interview he did with my friend Frank Viola. Frank is a voice in the church that trancends our left – right divide. He is a teacher that I highly respect. Sure I nuance certain things differently on some issues, but he is a voice the church so desperately needs. He has a new... Read more

How an author of ‘Jesus for President’ can also be Roman Catholic: From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart

Last updated on: October 28, 2012 at 11:31 pm By Kurt Willems

I’m thrilled to tell you about a book that is out called From Willow Creek to Sacred Heart: Rekindling my love for Catholicism. Chris Haw, who you may remember as one of the authors of Jesus for President, tells of his journey from evangelicalism, into the New Monasticism, and ultimately into the Roman Catholic Church. If you read my article, “If I wasn’t Anabaptist, I’d probably become Anglican” or some of the guest posts on this site, you probably can... Read more

A Pig’s Tail: A wonderful short animated film about a piglet in a factory farm

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 9:08 am By Kurt Willems

As you may know, animal advocacy is something that I see as a Kingdom issue. I’ve written about this topic in multiple occasions. Here are some posts to check out: When Worry Disrupts God’s Cosmic Community of Care or The “God” of the Gut – Animals, Faith, & Gluttony. I’m excited about a new film that has come out in a partnership between The Humane Society of the United States and Academy Award-winning Aardman Studios. Here are my thoughts: A... Read more

Welcoming all as if they were Christ (Oratory of the Heart)

Last updated on: October 21, 2012 at 11:13 pm By Kurt Willems

The Oratory of the Heart: How Benedictine Spirituality Shapes My Walk with Christ Part Five: Welcoming All as Christ (Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4) So far in this series, I have discussed the broad topics of Prayer and Lectio Divina, the Benedictine Vows of Stablity, Obedience, and Conversion of Life, and my own failed attempts at climbing “The Ladder of Humility.” In this post, I want to focus on Hospitality, which I believe is the fruit of the Benedictine...

Former terrorist becomes a Christian and then becomes a fraud?

Last updated on: October 21, 2012 at 9:11 am By Kurt Willems

HT: J-M Smith I don’t know anything about this man besides this video. I thought it was interesting though. Even if he is not a fraud, he doesn’t represent my understanding of the way of Jesus. I guess this story ran last summer. Any news on it since then? Walid Shoebat had a blunt message for the roughly 300 South Dakota police officers and sheriff’s deputies who gathered to hear him warn about the dangers of Islamic radicalism. Read more

Red Letter Dialogues: Review and Introduction (Claiborne and Campolo)

Last updated on: October 16, 2012 at 6:43 am By Kurt Willems

By re-focusing our attention on the basics, the red letters of the Bible, these authors help to open the imaginations of readers to see the way in which the covenant God is bringing heaven to earth. Not only do we readers get to be “flies on the wall” as Tony and Shane dispense their wisdom in a conversational format, but we too are invited into the dialogue with the hope that it will lead to grassroots expressions of the reign of God.

Forest Gardens and the Unexpected Church

Last updated on: October 14, 2012 at 10:15 pm By Kurt Willems

Last week I was driving home from leading a training session in the of North of England in our new car. Hoping to listen to some music on the radio I switched on the stereo system. Having only collected the vehicle that morning I hadn’t worked out how to change radio channels yet and was reluctant to get distracted from driving by trying to read the microscopic print that my middle-aged eyes refuse to acknowledge these days. I settle for... Read more
