My Speaking Tour Begins Next Summer
I have decided that the PCA General Assembly -- ubiquitous blue button down shirts and khakis aside -- is a pretty cool place. There is the delight of running into old friends, the chuckling at the unexpected in the exhibit hall, and the sweet, humbling realization that there are, indeed, people who are continuing to push for deeper knowledge and application of Christ.
Morty and I had a terrific turnout for our hour-long seminar on contemporary art. Judging from the great questions that we received, it seemed that most people tracked our arguments and accepted our propositions. Or, if they didn't, they sure were nice about doing sympathetic head nods. I almost did a jig when a middle-aged woman told me that she was fascinated by this idea that shocking art could teach us about redemption. Woo!
I think this whole interaction of faith and learning could work after all. Graduate school, here I come.

It's great to hear that you had a positive response to your talk at GA. Are you or Morty going to turn it into a paper or article or anything? Perhaps ByFaith would take an article on it... Keep up the good work!
