Consider the Turtles

I wanted to say a special thank you for the last issue, "Down-to-Earth Theology" (March 2004), and make particular mention of Brian McLaren’s article, "Consider the Turtles of the Field." Brilliant! Rarely read such compressed wisdom! It is clear and insightful and provides a superb flavor of the way in which theological attitudes have shaped a Christian worldview, in terms of attitudes to stewarding creation as well as a host of related themes (community, ownership, power, consumption, etc.).

Sojourners Comment Community Covenant

I will express myself with civility, courtesy, and respect for every member of the Sojourners online community, especially toward those with whom I disagree, even if I feel disrespected by them. (Romans 12:17-21)

I will express my disagreements with other community members' ideas without insulting, mocking, or slandering them personally. (Matthew 5:22)

I will not exaggerate others' beliefs nor make unfounded prejudicial assumptions based on labels, categories, or stereotypes. I will always extend the benefit of the doubt. (Ephesians 4:29)

I will hold others accountable by clicking "report" on comments that violate these principles, based not on what ideas are expressed but on how they're expressed. (2 Thessalonians 3:13-15)

I understand that comments reported as abusive are reviewed by Sojourners staff and are subject to removal. Repeat offenders will be blocked from making further comments. (Proverbs 18:7)
