Grace and peace to you!
At lunch with a good friend the other day I posed the following question: if you could only pick five theologians who most influenced your thinking, who would they be? His answers were fascinating and have spurned me to reading in some new directions! I'm curious, who are your top-five theologians? They don't have to be academy trained folks, novelists, film-makers, family members, etc. are all great choices!
Without giving it a great amount of thought my first list would have to include (in no particular order with a few groupings):
1. The Wesley's
2. Desmond Tutu
3. Marcus Borg
4. Gutierrez and Cone
5. Three of my professors at Perkins: Michel Hawn, Mark Stamm, and Theodore Walker.
Who has most influenced how you talk and think about God?

I'm alive!
I have no idea how long it's been since I've posted. Sorry it's been so long. Life has been crazy full lately, as I am sure it has been for you.
I was supposed to be in route to a rehearsal at the moment but the reheasal has been canceled, so there's time for a quick update and time to hang with the family!
Of late I have been rereading a lot of Desmond Tutu's writings as means of preparing for an event with the youth of the Dakotas Annual Conference. Father Tutu is the man! He inspires me towards that great Wesleyan ideal of personal and social holiness! His theogy, especially the African concept of ubuntu has been one of the central tenants of my theology since I first encountered it in the late 1990's.
Well, there is still a foot of snow on the ground, which is incredible to see in Texas, and it's time to play some UNO with Ellie!
Grace and peace!
