We plan on developing or linking to some web-based discussions, as well as posting commentary on selected topics and books, citing helpful books and articles, and providing links where possible. 

Updated 11/20/2004:  Although I say this elsewhere -- a recent web discussion impels me to put this here as well: 

The concept of Original Sin is of long standing in the Christian tradition. And certainly the fact that humans are capable of great evils is an important religious insight.  But so is the fact that we are also capable of great good.

“Original Sin” has also been understood to mean that all humans are born with a tendency to sin -- true enough -- and that we are therefore guilty before God and deserving of damnation, and so unworthy that God cannot love us or forgive us until someone without sin dies in our stead. 

This blasphemous idea of God has so many unchristian implications, and stands in such contradiction to all that Jesus taught and lived, that it needs to be tossed onto the theological garbage heap.
Email me your disagreements - or your agreements!
