Dead Guys, Living Theology
"I have lived nearly sixty years with myself and my own century and am not so enamoured of either as to desire no glimpse of a world beyond them." C.S. Lewis
One of my good friends and colleagues has begun planning for a local DTS. You've heard of them, Dead Theologian's Societies...
Some are boring and crusty, with a bunch of dry references, and twenty pounds of Historical paperwork.
What if?
What if someone were to create a LIVING DTS? One that (as my Mum says) "practices its Liturgy?"
This means actively engaging the Community, applying what we learn, challenging one another: all the stuff we talk about, and never do.
We're going to give it a try, so...
Keep us in your prayers, & I'll keep you updated.
Long live the Venerable Dead! ... Semper Reforandum!
(If you didn't get it, read some of my earlier articles. Wouldn't hurt to go to DeadTheologians either, although I didn't ask them if I could link to them.)

Thanks for the link! There are certainly many practices of the venerable dead which we do not practice to our great shame
.
If he starts a DTS, he should start a communal blog for their thoughts, that's how our blog started, though our group broke up when I moved to Texas. So sad.
May God grant wisdom by the works of his mighty prophets whom we acknowledge as "Dead Theologians". Though they had not a new revelation, they revealed the mind of JEHOVAH God by the means he deemed nesessary, his Word. We shall change and grow by the meat of his truth, but I thank God that we may witness the completed growth of these Saints he so graciously empowered. I am motivated by the upmost, that we may live his doctrine. I thank ye, and glory be to God, Amen.
