An occasional bulletin of my search for truth, justice, and "I'm still withholding judgment on the American way." I consider myself a traditional baptist, and just in case you haven't figured it out, I am totally opposed to the conservative insurgency. Not to be confused with the Christian Jewish bookseller or the video game character.
ONE
War Is Not the Answer
About Me
- sepherim
- I am a life long member of southern baptist churches. I grew up in what we used to call pioneer areas and am a charter member of at least 3 baptist churches. I have 2 degrees from a great, state university and almost 2 degrees from a southern baptist seminary. I have been involved in southern baptist life for more than five decades as a teacher at several levels including college and seminary, a minister, a missionary, a youth worker and in many other ways. I am a Vietnam veteran who came back from the war and discovered that Jesus really meant it when he said, "Love your enemy!"

Looks like it's the change you can't believe in now, and the same old same old.
I'm not ready to give up on substantive change just yet. Do I like what he said? No. Do I like that he distanced himself from Jeremiah Wright? No. Do I like the realities of the American political system which force candidates into no-win situations? No. Do I still see him as the best chance for meaningful change in US policy since Jimmy Carter? Yes. Will he be a breath of fresh air after 8 years of the shrub? Yes, yes, a thousand times yes.
