It’s been a long time since I posted anything. Having suffered from a small bit of burn out in my second year of seminary, I have found it’s difficult to write or even read on this summer break. I may have a bit more time and incentive this week because I’m suffering from and outer, as well as inner ear infection. This plight has me waking up at five in the morning being unable to sleep because of the pain. Hopefully the benefit to this is I will post more and get back into the habit.
This morning I was glancing over the titles posts at The Daily Scribe and I found a post by Clyde Grubbs that states that religious liberals are more concerned about deeds rather than creeds. Being in my semi-conscious daze this morning I didn’t read the rest of the post, but I began to think about this idea. I am honest I still struggle between the boundary of being a religious liberal or religious conservative. I am politically liberal because in large part I find the religious conservative doctrine difficult to apply to broad community life. I do have a desire to have “right doctrine,” but for me this is more of a question of making sense of my life. So while I operate out of liberal tendencies I find that I look for certainties, which is the plight of conservative doctrine. This is an interesting conundrum to consider and I may write more about it in the future.
