Okay people, I know you made fun of me for mentioning the Dugger family in reference to making our own laundry soap for Laundry Love, but here's the link anyway. And here's a link for powdered homemade laundry detergent too from a none eighteen child household.

harmony not hierarchy

1 comments
One of the speakers for Big Tent is Rachel Held Evans; she's the woman who wrote Evolving in Monkeytown. Currently, she's experimenting with a year of "biblical womanhood."

She just wrote a post called "Seeking Harmony, Not Hierarchy" on her blog, and I encourage you to read it. She discussed the Wesleyan quadrilateral: the balance between scripture, experience, tradition, and reason. I think that this is a topic that is relevant to us since many of us have experienced an imbalance of the four in our lives.


"In fact, I’ve recently come to realize that when I’m struggling with doubts about my faith it’s because one (or more) of these elements is failing to harmonize with the others."

Immigration

0 comments
















I want to share an fantastic site on immigration and getting to know more about the undocumented people's plight. It's called undocumented.tv

They are looking to share a message about love, understanding, and grace. They are also sharing a video and looking for groups to host discussions. Thought some of you might be interested.

article on atonement

Wow. I just finished reading an article on an "alternative" view of atonement. It really was a twist on what I had been taught, but it really rung true to me.
Check it out. It is really worth your time.
