		<description><![CDATA[Aerin, thanks for the dialogue. I wrote this last week about today&#8230;The Day After As the 2008 Presidential campaign draws to a close, I&#8217;ve become increasingly less concerned about the specific outcomes of election night and more concerned by what we will have positioned ourselves to accomplish the day after. What are our prospects for [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I have a new story online. It was written in support of the Faith House Manhattan project initiated by Samir Selmanovic. Faith House Manhattan is an experiment in God&#8217;s hopes and dreams that will create space for Christians, Jews and Muslims to seek God together for the good of the world. The protagonist of my [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I published a new story on the Village Half-Wit blog, entitled &#8220;Freedom Haven&#8221;. It is a retelling of the very first story I ever told. It was originally told at the Triana SDA Church just outside Huntsville, Alabama, when I was a ministerial student at Oakwood College. The pastor, I remember fondly, was Michael Faison, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This is an article I published at Re-Inventing the Adventist Wheel back in November 2006. I have heard that the emerging church is a white, middle-class, American, momentary digression. Well, I don&#8217;t fit but one of these categories, and regarding that one, I often wonder to what degree. Notwithstanding, I find myself in the thick [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Back in August I posted a rather sad review of the junk (self-interested, superficial, escapist, etc.) food served up from many pulpits week after week. Well, its easy to deconstruct what doesn't nourish, particularly if it no longer tastes like anything to you. The more difficult part is to begin to reconstruct something that's better.

		<description><![CDATA[Anyone who has ever heard me speak knows I love stories (villagehalwit@blogspot.com). I particularly love allegories. I have grown up reading and re-reading The Chronicles of Narnia and Lewis&#8217; space trilogy. In college I discovered Langston Hughes&#8217; Jesse B. Simple stories, and I fell in love with the art form all over again. Over the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The Buddha had it right: desire is the root of suffering. The modern Christian apologist might immediately respond, &#8220;Well, the desire not to desire is a desire in itself,&#8221; and thus dismiss the power of this ever so pivotal truth (thinking he has once again defended the faith against the creeping compromise of acknowledging the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Somewhere along the way Christians seem to have decided that the goal of a consecrated life was to escape this world. What&#8217;s that about? Didn&#8217;t God create this world and us as a part of it? As I&#8217;ve started to grow in a missional way of seeing things, I&#8217;ve gone back to re-evaluate some of [...]]]></description>
