You should expect some theology in posts in a blog linked to a church site, and I've added your frustration/disappoint to the hopper.  I do try to address theology as it surfaces in things I'm pondering, but also enjoy musing and getting feedback on issues like water bottles... sure it is an environmental issue, but I feel the church has been very quiet for too long on what it means to be a Christian in a world with limited resources.  Stewardship of creation feels like critical theology to me.                  &lt;BR/&gt;&lt;BR/&gt;I'm grateful, though, for your honesty.  For more theology, check out the sermon downloads on the church page... I think you'll find each of our preachers wrestles very directly with scripture on a weekly basis.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/6921128843863159841/comments/default/2250720596631583952'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/6921128843863159841/comments/default/2250720596631583952'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spokanefpc.blogspot.com/2007/10/water-bottle-righteousness.html?showComment=1192475820000#c2250720596631583952' title=''/><author><name>Kevin Finch</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/03727848423312149661</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:extendedProperty xmlns:gd='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005' name='OpenSocialUserId' value='13626589154539600481'/></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://spokanefpc.blogspot.com/2007/10/water-bottle-righteousness.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597934.post-6921128843863159841' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/posts/default/6921128843863159841' type='text/html'/></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597934.post-1367723374618330170</id><published>2007-10-14T17:14:00.000-07:00</published><updated>2007-10-14T17:14:00.000-07:00</updated><title type='text'>No offense, but I thought this was the pastor's bl...</title><content type='html'>No offense, but I thought this was the pastor's blog for First Presbyterian Church and expected something more theological in your posts.  You seem to be all over the place.  If you're linked to the church website, it seems like you should be posting items that make us think theologically and spiritually, or perhaps posting something about the current condition/status of First Presbyterian Church.  Sorry, I guess I'm just disappointed.  I expected church or Bible related posts with Biblical references that would make me open my Bible and want to dig deeper into a subject.  I didn't expect to be lectured about why I shouldn't drink bottled water, why I should drive an alternative car, promotion for your friend's CD, etc.  This is just my opinion, but I think you should save these types of items for your personal blog, not one that is connected to the church.  I can live without the ecological/political rhetoric.</content><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/6921128843863159841/comments/default/1367723374618330170'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/6921128843863159841/comments/default/1367723374618330170'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://spokanefpc.blogspot.com/2007/10/water-bottle-righteousness.html?showComment=1192407240000#c1367723374618330170' title=''/><author><name>nwporcelain</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/11939451143665632033</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email></author><thr:in-reply-to xmlns:thr='http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0' href='http://spokanefpc.blogspot.com/2007/10/water-bottle-righteousness.html' ref='tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21597934.post-6921128843863159841' source='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/21597934/posts/default/6921128843863159841' type='text/html'/></entry></feed>
