reforming interns
Hey guys,
I look forward to this blog growing in its frequency. Here's the reason I changed the name: after reading the introduction to Rob Bell's book "Velvet Elvis" I really enjoyed his perspective of he and his peers as people "reforming." Oddly enough he stole the language from Martin Luther. Luther, Calvin, and the others of the revolution/reformation used the verbiage "reforming." I think if one criticism could be made of the members already existing (we'll see about you newbees), some of us thought (I only want to truly say myself because I know this much is true) we had the authority to dictate what church and Christianity ought to look like, or even a lack of those words to describe the activity. (see F*** you I won't do what you tell me) Regardless, we often had a tone of rejection of the wording "reformed" but had an equally finite attitude. That said, I'd like to spend this year being "reforming"...not reformed, and maybe we could push ourselves to provoke thought and interogatives instead of editorials and rhetoric. God bless, AP
