Re: Bob Cornwall, Worshiping With Charles Darwin

Thanks James for sharing news of my small book, which I hope will stimulate conversation across the faith community and the scientific community as well. I don't write as a scientist. I write as a pastor trained in theology, who welcomes the input of the scientific community to my own exploration of a doctrine of creation. I hope to invite fellow believers to recognize the severe problem presented by a "God of the Gaps" theology, wherein we fill in the "holes" in science with God. As Bonhoeffer reminded us, when we do this we leave ourselves open to watching as God continually recedes from the scene. When this happens, there's not much left of God to worship!

Yes, 1983 was a good year to get married!! Congrats to you and Anne as well -- and to all who celebrate numbers 30, 40, 50, 60, and perhaps even 70 years in 2013!

I do think that the key to coming to grips with this question is to focus on the nature of covenant, something we don't even do a good job with in regard to "opposite-gender" marriage. We often treat marriage as a legal contract defined by the state. It may be that, but it is clearly more than that for Christians (and assumedly for Jews and other faith communities). Covenant is something entered into in partnership with God!

It is interesting that both Texas and North Carolina immediately stated that they would implement laws that have been invalidated, because now they don't have to preclear.

You'll spend lots of time and money at Powell's. You'll be a Duck's fan! So much to do. I'm jealous.

There is much to process after two days listening to Moltmann. It was good to meet you and share a meal there!
