Bishop Jake's "Wednesday Message" stirred up some interesting responses and questions! Indeed, so much so that we're going to make it our topic of discussion this week. So if you didn't yet read it, please do. It'll be the post just down the que from this one.
And here as some questions to guide our thinking/discussion:
What is Bishop Jake saying about "subjectivism" and "relativism"? What is his critique of these concepts? And what does he offer as an alternative?
What does protestantism owe to subjective philosophy? What was Martin Luther's critique of the medieval church? Was what he nailed to the church door a stand on "individualism" as the guiding philosophy for protestantism?
What is the nature/meaning/implication of "individualism" as a social/political/religious philosophy? In particular, how does individualism relate to Christianity as a philosophy? A way of life? How does it square with the teachings of he whom we follow, Jesus the Christ?
Think that'll keep us busy for awhile? I do! And I love the questions!!
In fact, this week I will need to leave by 6:15 sharp. I'll tell you a bit more about why Tuesday because an event is coming up that you'll be invited to participate in.
See you at 5:30 Tuesday in Student Center 163.
