My friend Micki Shirey a UCC pastor in Oregon has a lovely blog here. She’s been “tagged” with a simple, but rather interesting question – why blog? what are the rules? and of course the obligatory tag three others. I’ll start by saying, Chris, John, and Tim are “IT”!
Why do I blog? Hmmmmm . . . . well I’ve got two blogs and each serves a different function. I’m posting different answers on the other so you’ll have to visit that one too (grin). Here, my purpose is to explore and give voice to things OC/IC I think we as a movement need to be more visible, not less; and we need to articulate our ideas and theologies from an OC/IC perspective rather than falling into step with the tunes of other traditions. I believe that in sharing our story, in exploring our ideas with one another we discover that as diverse as our motley movement is, we share more in common with one another than we sometimes think. I think that in that process of talking, sharing, and realising common ground, we make friends in unlikely places, and from that forge a stronger sense of connection, and community within the wider movement.
What are the rules? erm, ahhhh, well . . . . it might sound like a cliche, but the person typing at you, or at whom you are typing, is a living embodiment of Christ, act accordingly.
Right, I’m off to do this over at my “summer palace” and hope you’ll visit me there too (it’s got pictures, and movies and cats!)
