Welcome to this new project called Questions and Convergence! This is a place to think about the world we live in and how faith and spirituality weave into our how we live. Here you will find ruminations on scripture, politics, church, economics, theology, and current events among other topics. There will be essays and poetry, maybe even some photography.
About the name - questions are essential. We cannot live life well if we do not learn how to ask questions. Often the answers are less important than the asking. So there will be many, many, many questions asked here. But as important as the questions themselves, is where the questioning leads us. Do they lead us off into corners where we can brood about the world all by ourselves, or do they lead us into community with other thinkers and doers? Do our questions cause us to converge with other good ideas and good people, or do they stifle growth and goodness? My hope here is to ask and explore questions that will lead towards community, good ideas, and, ultimately, a better world.
One last note, the posts here will not always be "timely." Since I am asking difficult questions and seeing where they go, it will often take some time to process the events of our world. (Plus I have a day job so I don't always have time to write in a timely manner.)
I hope you enjoy your time here. Feel free to post responses. We think better when we think together!
Peace,
Nate A.
