Sorry about the temporary absence from the blogosphere. It has been one of the seasons when the action on the ministry front, combined with major events on the personal front, took priority over other matters, including these thoughts.
But I have still been reading on the run, interacting with some fascinating initiatives and generally excited about what is ahead.
I have found myself wrestling with how we faithfully and relevantly communicate the Gospel message once again. In part this is being spurred by an attempt to update Life @ Large, a gospel presentation written for the biblical illiterate back in the late 90's. Here is an electronic version that was created back then www.campuscrusadeforchrist.com/lifatlg.swf. For some reason, that is not loading this morning. So if you have the same difficulty, try it here: http://www.whoishe.org/lifeatlarge.html
In the meantime, I recently read Ramsden's article: Understanding the Root of the Gospel http://www.euroleadershipresources.org/resource.php?ID=377 Interesting perspective on Christianity's "ontological root." The gospel and our faith isn't rooted in epistemology (how we think), existentially (what we feel) or pragmatically (what we do). Rather it is rooted in Being. The gospel is rooted, of course, in the person of Jesus! It's worth the read. Go for it.
