Tim, you wouldn't be a "former" Southern Baptist like myself, would you? Your story and your comments echo many of my views on this. So many of the present leadership of the SBC just KNOW what God's Word is, and that it couldn't possibly consist mostly of "their own appropriation" of that Word. It just "says what it says". I think Jesus said "If you knew you were blind, your sins would be forgiven. But since you say 'we see', your sin remains". That says something to me about claiming to have a corner on 'who God is' and what the Word is.

My earlier post about the WIRED article, The Pope's Astrophysicist, was the thing which got me thinking about the idea that the Net needs to be considered a Mission Field. The Vatican has spent who knows how much on the observatory in Tucson, and the research going on there that searches for "clues" and "signs" in the physical cosmos. While this work is certainly fascinating and thoughts about "beginnings" and "creation" and the Divine role are certainly "worthwhile", I can;t help but think that studies of The Net and its heretofore largely unexplored impact on sociology and psuchology of human culture, particularly here in the U.S., are even more needed. They rank higher for me because they obviously hold the promise of increasing the "connectivity" of persons in getting projects going and achieved.
