The Fabric of Faithfulness

Blogging and community I've heard the criticism that blogging is a virtual attempt to replace community and therefore it somehow is less than is should be. I agree that the bloggers I know couldn't come over and help me move a sofa, and I'd be hard pressed to give them any of the abundant cucumbers overrunning our garden. But for me, the blogging interaction is all the interaction I have in areas theological and philosophical. The long standing struggle for me has been maintaining interactions of depth in theological discussion and philosophical interaction. Work at the insurance company, results oriented church involvement and a character that doesn't relish debate (sinks my head in the sand actually) have all conspired to keep thinking to my head alone over the past 8 years. So now a discussion with fellow bloggers presents another alternative. One I look forward to. Thank you gideon strauss for involving me in your conversation.
