Dialogical theology

Moltmann believes that truth is to be found in dialogue rather than in assertive dogmatics and theological systems. I would add that for genuine dialogue to occur, trust must be present. Do we trust the other enough to discover truth? Are we trustworthy enough to reflect truth?

Living Water

I love the way Nikos Kazantzakis writes with such passion. In The Fratracides he examines the constant battle to live in the midst of oppression. Greece is wracked by war, and the main character struggles to remain truely alive during the chaos around him.

How do we remain alive — completely alive — in…

Theology of Hope

I went to the Mall of America for lunch. It’s only a few mintutes from our office and I enjoy spending the hour reading in the Barnes and Noble bookstore. (I forgot that today was a holiday; hordes of people.) I sat in the cafe, reading Moltmann’s In the End — The Beginning: The Life of Hope, in…

Airport display

Busy day. I edited a thirty second spot to be shown in airports in Canada next week. Passengers can enjoy my selection of soothing canned corporate music as they hurry to catch their flights.

Teach them well — Part II

We are born into a situation. The German philosopher, Martin Heidegger, talks about “thrownness,” about being “thrown” into the world. In the film, The Bourne Identity, (clearly the better film of the two) Jason Bourne awakens to find himself on a ship at sea. He was shot and can’t…

Scriptwriting

I’ve written a lot of video scripts over the years. I got my first professional writing job in Colorado, writing science scripts for public school educational videos. I worked for a small production company where I also learned how to shoot and edit these programs. My boss and I became friends, and we…

Changes

Six weeks until our first child “arrives.” We’re still choosing a name: Annie likes Chloe, and I prefer Silvi (shortened from Silviana). We’ve been calling her “Silvi-Chloe.”

So many changes. Annie is spending the days getting our apartment ready, making trips to Goodwill with years of clutter. I’m scrambling to…

Teach them well — Part I

How do I teach my daughter to love God? Many of you know that I’m going to be a father soon. I’ve been struggling with this question for awhile, and don’t have a clue where to begin. I know that my daughter will emmulate me, a scary prospect. It’s true, I love God deeply but the fact…

Outline

I outlined a feature film script over the weekend. Just for myself. That doesn’t mean that this script will ever actually be written. I’ve outlined many such scripts. I just enjoy escaping into another world for a few hours. I listen to music to shape my scenes. For part of the script I was listening to Patrick…
