Apologia pro Vita sua: by New-men and Women

Change of mind: Metanoia?No mortal could say "my mind never changed",it is not even human. Metanoia, is a pre requisite of salvation, to be born from above. Our Lord Jesus Christ changed his mind twice according to the beoved evangelist (in Cana Galilee, and about going to the festival of Booths), which confirm his true humanity. Even, our Heavenly Father,the Lord Almighty not only changed His Mind, of which the case of king Hezekiah (2 Kings 20:1-11) stands out boldly. The Hebrew Bible repeatedly mentioned how He even was sorry that He ever created mankind(Gen 6:6) The Christian Century and Cardinal Newman:For over half a century, the Christian Century took to monitor currents in religious thought by persuading prominent thinkers to take its pulpit, every decade, confessing how they reacted to sociopolitical trends that influenced our times. This book records in a concise but fascinating way fifteen articles published in 1990 representing the eighties.It is an invitation to walk John H. Newman's road.Stanley Hauerwas, Duke U.: I have gone through some changes, however; not the least concerning my emphasis on the centrality of the church. I began seeking to recover the importance of virtue and the virtues and ended up with the church.Elizabeth Achtemeier, Union Theological: My mind has not changed a great deal, because the biblical story has not changed.Richard McCormick, U. Notre Dame:The theological and pastoral winds that blew freely from 1962 to 1965 led to a notion of church much more concentric.Elisabth Schussler, Harvard Divinity:I wanted to become many things when I was young: a hairdresser like my friendRita, a poet like Goethe, an architect, a missionary and even a Pope!Robert Bellah, UC Berkeley: I do not look mhappily on my 25 years of shopping for the right parish; I have been quite hard on consumer Christians who flit from church to church seeking the most convenient services.Thomas Oden,Drew U.: My shift from then to now is from a fixation on modernity to the steady flow of postmodern paleo-orthodox conciousness.Jon Sobrino,CAU U.:The jigsaw puzzle of human life, whose pattern has btoken apart as we went througha period of analysis and questioning,again broke apart when we met the poor of this world.
