Green?

New, slightly more mature (if less fun) layout, as well. Enjoy.

First Contact (sort of)

I haven't been good about updating this blog in the past week or so, but my work may finally be paying off. I received a few (!) messages from Chris Stedman, both via e-mail and Twitter, about working together, somehow! He read my piece (mentioned in a previous post) and seemed interested in discussing some of what wasn't discussed explicitly in the piece - between the lines, if you will. What would happen if a Roman Catholic and a Faitheist walked into a bar? I was juggling two options: either an interview, or an NPS-style blog post. With Chris traveling so often (he'd only just returned from Australia when we spoke), the interview seemed less and less likely, and the post became quite doable. While playing Words with Friends, though, I had a revelation: Why not do both? My NPS-style post could second as the beginning of a conversation piece, an introduction to a dialogue, in what could be an ongoing discussion of living well, with and without faith. Perhaps a new blog, on my part, in response to the Faitheist movement, would be the answer. I'm not sure! What're your thoughts?

I'm back FROM the future!

Well, it's been a while since I last posted.

I've been keeping busy with Spring Awakening rehearsals - I'll be portraying Georg at the end of the week - and haven't had a ton of time otherwise.

If my twitter feed tells me anything useful, and I hope it does, my man Chris has been keeping busy a well, with international conferences and the like. Very cool stuff.

Unfortunately, that also means he hasn't had the time to get back to me about an interview through Twitter, so I'll have to try another way.

Email may well have to suffice. How boring, right?

Oh, the places I'll (hopefully) go!

As of right now, it looks like I'll be continuing my work on Stedman and the atheist-activist movement with an eye to what I hope can be an answer to the title of my original essay. How cool would it be if I could spend an afternoon with him over coffee, or walk into a bar and not have it be a punch line? I don't know how possible it is, but I was even thinking a Skype conversation could do. Oh, the possibilities!
