Texas Epistemology
I sometimes forget that I was born in Texas and lived there for 26 years. Hauerwas reminds me of what I have left…how I have moved on…and the epistemology that I embody and practice… That I was trained at Yale does not sufficiently account for the fact I seem to belong nowhere, for as I [...]
Theology/Ethics to me is about Call & Vocation
I have been thinking about this “thing” that I do called Theology. I have been wanting to write about my journey in becoming a Theologian, but did not quite have the where-with-all to begin a post until Monday when Dr. Debbie Creamer asked me how I understand myself as a Theologian–where do I situate myself [...]
Tending Body Knowledge: Heike Peckruhn on PostColonial Theology Network
This PostColonial Theology Network entry was written by one of my favorite colleagues, Heike Peckruhn. I post it here to share it with those who may not be members of the PTN. I feel very privileged to spend time with Heike and share early morning coffee trips with her at our local Starbucks talking about [...]
Thinking Theological or On being a Theologian/Ethicist
Today is Sunday 18 April 2010. It is 7:16 MST. I’m listening to the Black Crowes and thinking about what it means to be a theologian/ethicist and do this thing called Theology–a thing I’ve been doing since I began studying theology in 1995. What does it mean for me, my body and my mind to [...]
Provocation, Liturgy & Rhythm(s)
Today is Friday 02 April 2010. In the Christian tradition, it is Good Friday, oftentimes a dark and somber day that culminates in the death of Jesus. That’s the tradition. In the Jewish Tradition, it is Passover. It is a time of remembering the injustices (even those we continue to fight). What orders these holidays [...]

Carol Gilligan: in a different voice
This is my feminist epistemology presentation that I’m giving at 1:30 pm. I used prezi.com, a non-linear presentation tool. I’ve embedded it here on my website. It is a review of Carol Gilligan’s “in a different voice.” Its a book that I actually enjoyed reading and caused me to consider the language and use of [...]
Coming OUT…as a christian agnostic
I’ve just had a great conversation w/ my friend Bill Chu. He’s a United Methodist Pastor in the Western Michigan Conference. He flew into Denver to meet his folks up at the mountains. I’m, of course, jealous that he’s getting to ski. More importantly, though, we shared some time and space, drank some beer, and [...]
Is it that I'm not Listening or Have I Never Been Heard? A response to Larry
Driving home from La Communidad, I received an email and was asked to read Larry’s post. I agreed to do this over lunch. I want to respond to it by writing my own post about the act of listening, being heard, and my own story of being a mestizo in a Texas baptist church. A [...]
Clark Pinnock has Alzheimer's
I was introduced to Clark Pinnock’s work as an undergraduate at Logsdon School of Theology at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, TX. It was the type of Christianity which made sense to me as a young theologian. As such, I am saddened to share the following news. I learned of Pinnock’s condition this morning after arriving at [...]
