Envision 08

I have the awesome opportunity to participate in Envision 08 at Princeton an event about envisioning and re-imagining the Gospel at work in our world, especially in the areas of injustice and poverty.  In preparation I have been thinking a lot about these issues, and being compelled to a different way of life and faith that I still can't quit draw out in my mind.  My prayer is that I will be forever changed, that this conference will be the final ignition of the burning in my soul and that I would find myself in deep beautiful darkness of God where he takes in and loves all those we reject and oppress.  

Part of my journey over these days will be to walk through "Religious Pluralism and Christian Faith" with Miraslov Volf and Samir Selmanovic.  Recently Volf's book Exclusion and Embrace has been doing some violent work to my soul.  I don't always know the path God is calling me to; but I am convinced that it is a path of Love and Reconciliation, where it leads probably depends on how willing I am to fall into the depths of God.  Over the next few weeks I will be writing on the things I am learning and trying to process, it should be fun.
