Theologian, violist, knower of things and spinner of plates. I strive against chaos. Trying to overcome false dichotomies: heart and head, Baroque and Romantic, Schleiermacher and Barth. More Bach please, and Brahms. And DSCH too.

There will *always* be a market for prejudice. Even in churches. They may lose some members who can't any longer abide the hypocrisy and thinly veiled hate, but anti-gay churches will be fine. (Or "fine.") They'll continue, or even increase.

Just (re-)watched Rogue One.

Seems appropriate.

That seems like a fine process! Playing around with musical ideas, trying them on for size, action-reflection.

When you "write them out," are you using music paper or software?

I really wanted to go to the #HollandMI #NoKings protest today, but I've got a bad cold. Fie! Saw on the Zuck-space that several friends (and -ish) of mine went. Yay! One acquaintance said that thousands were there. In little Holland!

Today I got my viola back from the shop, just a cleaning. It's gorgeous! I hadn't played in a week (unusual because I've played 109 days this year so far). Scales, Dounis, Bach, Clarke, Hindemith. Such joy! #violist #classicalmusic

Yes! I think weighted voting is bad theologically, standing in obvious contradiction to I Cor. 12 & BCO Preamble.

I ask about the Liturgy bc I grow more certain almost daily that one cannot understand our polity without understanding our liturgy. + immersion in liturgy helps one 'get' polity.

Yes it is, and all those in it are succumbing to and participating in evil.

And part of my story is that, in year 13 of the diss. process, I decided that I didn't want not finishing to be part of my story, even if there were no vocational payoff.

Thank you! My dissertation and book (Fortress Press) were on Barth's theological reflections on God's relationship to time (divine eternality).
