+ Does Not Wisdom Call? is a blog I have just begun to follow. The blogger is Ellie Finlay. "Something about Vocation" is a thoughtful recent post. She found this profound and provocative thought by Rowan Williams: "Vocation is, you could say, what’s left when all the games have stopped. We shall still need to work to find the structure and form of life that is most our own because it leaves us most alert, most responsive, most open to the never-failing grace of God. We have to find the meter for our poem, the key in which to sing to our God, the cell where we can pray to him, the person in whom we can love him, so as to give 'a local habitation and a name,' face and flesh, to our own particular following of Christ."
+ Spirituality and Practice offers a review of Catching Up with Jesus: A Gospel Story for Our Time by Diarmuid O'Murchu. O'Murchu wrote Quantum Theology which is one of my favorite books. The review begins: "Diarmuid O'Murchu, a social psychologist and member of the Sacred Heart Missionary Order, continues his radical re-imagining of the Christian path that he has presented in Quantum Theology, Reclaiming Spirituality, Poverty, Celebacy and Obedience, Religion in Exile and Evolutionary Faith. O'Murchu wants to set Jesus free from the captivity of ideological reductionism that includes academic rationality, absolute dogmas, white imperialism, male exclusiveness, the cult of redemptive violence, ecclesiastical domestication, middle-class respectability, distorted personalism, and insipid religiosity."
