Healthy Liberal Christianity at Park Church: May 2009
http://hlc-at-park.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Thursday, May 28, 2009. You Have to Come in by “The Door”.

Healthy Liberal Christianity at Park Church: February 2009
http://hlc-at-park.blogspot.com/2009_02_01_archive.html
Wednesday, February 25, 2009. Should Church Weddings have Legal Authority? These are complex questions that have many legitimate, though apparently contradictory answers. As I see it, the question is not about who is right.

What do you think? 8220;No matter who you are or where you are in life’s journey, you’re welcome here.”. After more than 35 ye...

Healthy Liberal Christianity at Park Church: Perspectives on Advent and Christmas
http://hlc-at-park.blogspot.com/2009/12/perspectives-on-advent-and-christmas.html
Wednesday, December 2, 2009. Perspectives on Advent and Christmas. What really struck me in this experience was how assaulted I felt.

Wednesday, April 29, 2009. So, what is the big deal about mysticism anyway? I’d like to know what you think. 8220;God is still speaking.”. The United Church of Christ. Wayne E. Gustafson, D.Min. Thursday, April 23, 2009. The First Christian Community. A couple of weeks ago I made reference to the description of the earliest Christian community in the Biblical Book of The Acts of the Apostles (2: 42-47).
