Blogging and the Opinion Mill

I just started reading "Why We're Not Emergent (By Two Guys Who Should Be)" written by Kevin DeYoung and Ted Kluck. In his chapter on the postmodern infatuation with uncertainty and mystery, DeYoung comments insightfully on blogging:

"We live in a blogging culture, which suggests that just because we have an opinion on something it must be worthwhile and just because we are in touch with our spiritual journey it must be worth sharing" (pg.34).

In my opinion (which may or may not be worthwhile!), this is perceptively accurate. Spot on, as the Brits would say.

Cedarville in Christianity Today

On April 3rd Christianity Today posted an article titled "Cedarville's Tenure Tremor." The current article reflects an update from the Board of Trustee's decision yesterday.

From the opening paragraph:

"Cedarville University has become entangled in a dispute over theology and academic freedom after it terminated two tenured professors in July 2007. Cedarville's board of trustees upheld Bible professor David Hoffeditz's termination Friday, despite a report from a faculty grievance panel of five professors that determined that the college had made "administrative missteps" in the termination process. In classrooms, the professors openly challenged other faculty members whom they felt encouraged postmodern or Emergent theology."

Please pray for Cedarville as this is a difficult time for all.
