Been considering getting my PhD after I finish up my MDiv. I am still not sure if that is what I really want to do. I am looking at both the Urban Studies as well as the Religion programs at Temple University. My concern is that I do not want to get lost in theContinue reading “PhD???”

Albany
The movement in Albany was an important one, however it is not talked about much because Dr. King felt he had failed at accomplishing the goals. In the end, it was an opportunity for the people to straighten their backs in the face of southern terrorism, as well as a valuable teachable moment for KingContinue reading “Albany”
ATL – MLK’s Old Stomping Ground
Understanding what shaped King is important when trying to glean from his legacy. Atlanta is where he grew up as well as where his body now rests. The house in the picture is the house where to the King family resided, in “Sweet Auburn” a well-to-do black middle class community in Atlanta. And both MartinContinue reading “ATL – MLK’s Old Stomping Ground”
Micah 6:6-8
What does God require of you? Do justice (actively and intentionally), love mercy (not reluctantly), and walk humbly (through service) with God.
Theological Mut
I am a theological mut. My theology, ideology, and convictions are shaped by a plethora of christian streams and traditions. This usually leaves me finding myself associating with diverse theological communities, yet hardly ever feeling at home anywhere I go.

Martin & Malcolm
This picture was taken during the one and only time these two great men met. No one knows what exactly was said between them and so we are left wondering what was shared in that moment where their destinies briefly crossed. Was it a friendly exchange or was it one of tension and disagreement? WeContinue reading “Martin & Malcolm”
Urban Retreat Center…
Why is it that when we go on retreats it is always to rural areas? We always go out into the country to meet and hear from God, but why don’t we ever retreat in urban contexts? Can’t we also take time to intentionally dwell in the city to hear God? Does God only speakContinue reading “Urban Retreat Center…”
Intruder Alert
Just thought this was a intriguing comic on the whole Arizona Immigration law, given that land once belonged to Mexico. Honestly, I think it is a complex issue and I refuse to fall into either the liberal or conservative camp on this one. I liked what Robert Gelinas asked on his blog… not whether orContinue reading “Intruder Alert”
