We’re going to riff off of Jonathan Aigner today. Over the weekend he noted a post by Chuck McKnight over at Hippie Heretic: “Top 25 Hymns of Progressive Christians.” Then, Jonathan asked his readers, from a more diverse theological and ecclesiastical background, to share some of theirs.

Open Mic Tuesday
I fell behind with a busy family weekend and then getting back into the swing of things at work yesterday, so how about we simply open it up today for open discussion? It’s a shame when actual life gets in the way of blogging, right? It’s all yours today… • Chaplain Mike
The Saturday Monks Brunch: March 10, 2018

InternetContinue reading “The Saturday Monks Brunch: March 10, 2018”
A Halloween Open Mic
A Halloween Open Mic Some years ago, Michael Spencer posed an Open Mic question to the iMonk community: “Where in the Bible does it say Satan wants to take “souls” to hell?” Today, in addition to that query, I’m pulling a few other questions out of Michael’s famous Halloween posts so that we can discussContinue reading “A Halloween Open Mic”

Open Mic, Summer Edition
Open Mic, Summer Edition Today we offer you the chance to participate in an Open Mic. And since we’re in the midst of the summer season, I thought maybe I’d prime the pump a little bit by asking a few questions.
