Ok, not really. But current Ivy Bush blogger Jonathan and former Ivy Bush blogger Marvin are both blogging about the vexed question of the church’s attitude toward gay and lesbian Christians (see here, here, and here). They come down in different places (to the extent that either are definitively “coming down” anywhere), but both are models of reasoned and charitable discourse on the issue, which seems pretty rare these days.

Anatomy of an Obsession: A Collection of Half-Baked Thoughts on Just War and Pacifism
Okay, no more posting on the whole just war theory/pacifism thing for a while. But for posterity’s sake (or just for handy reference), I’ve collected what I think are all or nearly all the posts I’ve done dealing with jwt and/or pacifism.
Here they are (in chronological order):
“Fighting with One Hand Tied Behind Your Back”
“Just War, Pacifism, and ‘Realism’”
“Are Pro-War Christians Bloodthirsty?”
“Loving Your Neighbor, Wielding the Sword”
“The Politics of Non-Violence”
“Libertarians and War (Yet again)”
“Just War and the Christian Conscience”
“Just War as Care for the Neighbor”
“’Do Not Resist an Evil Person’”
“Truman, Just War, and the Bomb”
“Just War Theory and Proof-Texting”
