Epilogue: PhD Students at Princeton Seminary

December 8th, 2008 by Neal Locke

Needless to say, last week was an interesting week.
Admittedly, calling people assholes is not the best way to start a conversation, but for better or worse, I did have a lot of conversations last week: With PhD students, with fellow MDiv students, with former students, faculty members, staff members, bloggers, anonymous emailers and letter writers, [...]

RSS and Website Woes

November 19th, 2008 by Neal Locke

I’ve been having serious website issues in the past two weeks, and I noticed my feed subscriptions via feedburner dropped by about 30%.  While I could be cynical and attribute it to my last post about John McCain, I suspect it actually has more to do with what looks like a broken rss feed.
So if [...]

Augustine: Patron Saint of Bloggers?

October 23rd, 2008 by Neal Locke

I started reading Augustine’s Confessions today, in conjunction with a chapter “about” him (and his theological positions) in my Church History textbook.  I find myself growing more and more perplexed, being pulled in two separate directions.

Walking the line between confident self-expression and pompous diatribe is tricky (ironically enough, “diatribe” comes from a Greek word that means “waste of time”). This is certainly true of blogs in general, and mine specifically.
Last week, I crossed that line. I wrote a public criticism of the educational methods used in my Greek [...]

Liveblogging GA218 from the Wrong Coast

June 21st, 2008 by Neal Locke

For Presbyterians, General Assembly is part family reunion, part mega-convention, and part election day. It happens every two years, and decides a bunch of issues and proposed resolutions, as well as elects a Moderator (kind of like a cross between the Queen of England and Ambassador of the PCUSA).
My internet friend, Bruce Reyes Chow, [...]

Preaching…and Farewell Frisco

June 12th, 2008 by Neal Locke

This Sunday I’ll be preaching my last sermon at Faithbridge Presbyterian church, strapping on my guitar to sing my last songs with the praise team, and saying my goodbyes to all the people who have been part of our lives for the past decade. Then Amy, Grady, Abby and I will climb into our [...]
