Just a personal web journal, often on theological topics. It's "rude" in three senses: "crude" in that I have little formal theological training; "offensive" in that the things I write unintentionally tick folks off sometimes, and "rough" in the form of occasional spicy language. If any of that turns you off, then I'm sorry to see you go. Otherwise, welcome!
There has been very much comment about this on a couple of Anglican e-mail lists I belong to. It looks very much like intimidation by the IRS, since a great number of religious right-evangelical churches have taken overt and covert action to support GWB; and some RC bishops were threatening to refuse communion from anyone who voted for a candidate who was pro-choice, or for stem cell research. The preacher in question responded here: http://tinyurl.com/8z9fn
A nice response, I think. This is such transparently political bullying, it really frosts my cupcakes. If it has a chilling effect on the prophetic voice of even one preacher in one pulpit in the U.S., it's a grave injury and very hard to forgive. Grrr. Must stop before I raise the profanity quotient of this blog a few notches.
