Notes from the Balcony

Ongoing comment and dialogue on being a new church in a new world - A Blog by John Montgomery

[The Bible] is not, for a start, a list of rules, though it contains many commandments of various sorts and in various contexts. Nor is it a compendium of true doctrines, though, of course, many parts of the Bible declare great truths about God, Jesus, the world and ourselves in no uncertain terms. Most of its constituent parts, and all of it when put together (whether in the Jewish canonical form or the Christian form), can best be described as story. This is a complicated and much-discussed theme, but there is nothing to be gained by ignoring it. - N.T. Wright

Who's killing our troops?

I keep noticing out of the corner of my eye neo-con fed articles that report how new bombs and bomb making materials from Iran are being supplied to insurgents to kill American troops. Incredible as it seems there are still people who would like to see us invade Iran - how did that song go when McCain sang it? "Bomb, bomb, bomb - bomb Iran."

The problem is that we are getting additional reports that point to the Pentagon as the best supplier of weapons to the Iraqi insurgents. What are the numbers? 110,000 AK-47s and 80,000 pistols!

Are we nuts? It's time to start beating those swords into plowshares.
