Conversation Partners

The blogs listed on the right side of this blog (scroll down a bit) are the sites of conversation partners. It's an ecumenical group--Lutheran, Mennonite, Methodist, Pentecostal, Presbyterian, and more. Yet these writers all have at least two things in common: they are all theologians, whether pastors, professors, or others; and they all share a common location. In his book Doing Local Theology, Clemens Sedmak writes, "Theology is done 'from somewhere,' from a particular perspective, out of a particular context" (15). These theologians all write from the context of Cascadia (the Pacific Northwest). Boise, Portland, Seattle, and Vancouver (BC) are among the even more particular contexts represented.
