Help me!
So, I need money.
I am going to have a chapter published in a book!! I am very excited for that and grateful to be offered this oppurtunity. After taking some time to think about it, I am fairly sure of which way I want to go with my chapter. After we had the little exchange about Catholicism here (I am STILL not RCC for all y'all haters out there... baptists) Kyle gave us all a point about living a catholic theology in an evangelical (or mainline) setting.
Well, that's the chapter cummary in a nutshell. A very small nutshell but a nutshell nonetheless.
I need to rais 150 dollars to make sure everything gets published. And I need some help. If there is any way I could do some sort of work for any one of you and possibly get some sort of monetary earning from that I would be a very happy boy. Donations are VERY welcome also. I am not above asking... :P My email addy is "potatocore@gmail.com" and I would welcome anything, even just some encouragement or advice. Thanks.

I think this is a very good point and I have tried to make that my first thought whenever I think where I'm going witht his whole "church" thing. And I am going to write about me moving from a rigid evangelical stance (where I was a bit over a year ago) to where I am now and where I am going. It's not going to be preachy. It won't be particularly innovative or "pomo" or whatever... but it may be interesting for someone out there to read. I am going to need some help with the writing and editing of it. I have a list of people I want and hopefully they won't mind being elected by me to this. Haha! :)
Mike, to my mind, being a "catholic" among evangelicals means being the resident historian and ecumenist - a kind of resource guy. Some of the Church's challenges in this era are unique, but many are the same: how to I become like Jesus? How do we live together as Christ's body in a way that honors him? How do we call people into the Church and to Jesus, bringing them from death into life? Those are ancient and contemporary concerns that transcend any philosophical "moments" in history. I think it means being a voice for "keeping the main thing the main thing," and being the guy who says, "you know, the Church has always dealt with this, and some good faithful Christians who aren't ______s (fill your resident tradition in the blank here) also have some good things to say about it. Christians of different times and places have different answers to the same old questions. We learn to listen to them as we sit together and wait for the Lord to tell us our way forward in his mission in the world as well as our own life together.
