class today was good... a tad long, but good. we read a really interesting article i thought, for homework last night, thomas a. tweed's "on moving across: translocative religion and the interpreter's position" from the june 2002 journal of the american academy of religion, the title makes it sound way more academic than it actually is. it was all about how we can never, as researchers, exist nowhere or out of nothing having no presuppositions because this just isn't possible. this of course, means that we cannot possibly write without any bias. interesting thought.
i got my introduction back for my research proposal, which i thought i had written quite badly not really knowing what on earth i was doing, but i got a B+ and was quite surprised, a higher mark than anyone in my row. my proposal is going to be on internet ministry... how the Body of Christ and the church (is that the same thing??? i am just wondering now) do not know whether or not to embrace it as a ministry tool because they don't know whether or not it is appropriate... and also whether or not it is appropriate, and to analyze current models of internet ministry for effectiveness.
i am not sure if any of this is making sense, it is late and i have been up since 7am and have been immersed too much in academia today, my brain is frazzled. i need to do something fun. i think i shall put in some good music and drift off to happy dreams. : )
