Just in case, guys, my email is:<BR/>jhesiak at yahoo.<BR/><BR/>And Jon - I just visited your blog. I see you are another of those Chicagoians doing really cool blog posts all the time. I left a comment on your most recent one, which I shared with some friends via email.<BR/><BR/>And on metaphysics, ect...maybe we could set up a little group blog or something? I don't know how to do that, though. Nor do I know how easy or difficult it is.<BR/><BR/>:)<BR/><BR/>JasonJason Hesiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628162727207930087noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-39053015164422708422007-03-30T11:50:00.000-07:002007-03-30T11:50:00.000-07:00Ted, Thank you too.

I will check out the resources you've given me. <BR/><BR/>I honestly believe that marriage provides an incredible framework within which to work out one's faith. Having children too.<BR/><BR/>We'll figure out some way to continue the dialogue and include Jason too.<BR/><BR/>Peace.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849379816330330674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-68220755098351300662007-03-30T11:42:00.000-07:002007-03-30T11:42:00.000-07:00Jason,Thanks so much for stopping by.

I'm starting to see what you mean about detachment and the "modern metaphysical framework." <BR/><BR/>As for being married, I wouldn't rush it, but I certainly pray that when you do, it will be for life. Take time to heal whatever wounds you have. Learn from those you admire and really identify what it is you admire in them. Getting close to God in prayer and spirit really helps with those things.<BR/><BR/>All the Best.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12849379816330330674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-12162964571197245242007-03-30T09:43:00.000-07:002007-03-30T09:43:00.000-07:00Kim, Great words and helpful.

Our first child, a baby boy, is due in four weeks, so that is super, super cool. I really like what you have to say Kim. I have a lot to learn about being a husband (and being a father just floors me...I'm glad they start immobile, it will give me time to learn.)<BR/><BR/>So any way you want to continue our line of thought on metaphysics/justice/etc. is fine with me. We can set up an email group or use your blog or whatever. <BR/><BR/>To give away where I come from (and offer up some resources if you want to follow them), I am very influenced by Hauerwas/McIntyre and Eastern Orthodox theology, which I find is completely untouched by much of the events/thinkers who have shaped Western theology, and so present a fantastic counterpoint to our usual ways of thinking. (Alexander Schmemann's "The Life of the World" touches nicely on these spiritual/secular themes we're talking about.)<BR/><BR/>Sorry to totally hijack this particular post! Look forward to continuing the dialogue. And welcome Jason--I've seen a lot of your posts on Dave's blog.Jon Berbaumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07607282312431533876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8401232450301616841.post-3084783976518323042007-03-30T08:25:00.000-07:002007-03-30T08:25:00.000-07:00Kim,I like this post.

The difficult way.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, though...I would like to be involved in the conversation between yourself and Jon Berbaum on justice, metaphysics, ect. from David Fitch's blog. I VERY much resonate with his unpacking of my statements. AND, I do think that many emergents would probably agree with the metaphysical picture that he presented. Also...related, though..."detachment" is very much a symptom or function of the modern metaphysical framework...to the degree that its just "there" and we might not even know where it came from! <BR/><BR/>AND...I'm not married...but at this rate, I certainly won't make it past 24 years either, if I do get married. I'm going through lots of healing and learning now too in the whole relationship arena...although I haven't been yet to that website you talked about...Jason Hesiakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12628162727207930087noreply@blogger.com
