Reading Jim McClendon 6 with Stanley Hauerwas

The latest McClendon Reading Group was on the final chapter of Ethics on Narrative Ethics. We were privileged to have Stanley Hauerwas join us to talk about McClendon's work and connections with his own work. The conversation look at the place of narrative, the differences between McClendon's and Robert Jenson's systematic theologies, the Baptist Vision and more.

We start next month with the second volume of McClendon's Systematic Theology on Doctrine.

 

A Prayer inspired by Rabbi Jonathan Sacks

A prayer inspired by Rabbi Sacks on the news of his death:

God of Mercy and Peace
we pray
with the Persistence of Faith
for You to Heal a Fractured World.
Grow in us the grace that sees the Dignity of Difference.
Teach us that the Home we Build Together
should always embody the Politics of Hope,
should always be Celebrating Life,
and live for the Restoring of the Common Good.
In Your Holy Name
Amen.
