Topics in Progress

My writing is more sporadic than I would wish it to be due to the demands of grad school; but here is an ever-growing list of themes on which I dwell.

1. Fear that is pervasive in our society
2. Church/state separation
3. Commitment to nonviolence?
4. New Monasticism
5. Prayer
6. The Worldview Questions
(Origin) Where did we come from? Who are we?
(Purpose/destination)What is my purpose or role in this world?
(Diagnosis)What has gone wrong with the world? (Why is there such a mess in the world?)
(Prescription)What can we do to fix it? (Is there any way out?)
7. Extensions to the worldview questions
How do I come to terms with death?
How do I make sense of suffering?
How can I possibly believe in justice?
