Editor's Notes
- 2 Assumptions: 1) Theology needs to be freed from the academy. Seminary conversation: “theology should only be done by those trained in the field.”
- 2nd Assumption: “Theology, as a FUNCTION of the Christian church, must serve the NEEDS of the church.”
- Why am I here? Not a PhD or a student - tho I am married to one. No idea - ask Tripp. But I think because I’ve tried to live this out.
- Those of us who are PRACTITIONERS need to get theology OUT of the academy, INTO the church, and then OUT of the church and INTO the world... Two examples: Pomomusings & Beer.
- Graduated college / moved to Idaho.

- But even with that possibility, I’ve seen good/deep convos come from the blog.
- 1st Series: Kingdom of God Muse on the Kingdom of God. No more direction than that.
