Randall: thanks for sharing your experience. That was exactly what I was curious about. I recently facilitated a discussion on war and peace, and I wrestled with the response - or lack there of. You’ve given me hope to try again.

Chad: totally kidding. I thought about making one of those semi-colon and parenthesis, winking smiley faces but couldn’t bring myself to do it. I wasn’t kidding about it being brilliant.

Eugene: thanks for giving the grace in case I hadn’t been kidding. And thank you twice over for sharing your journey here - your sharing has made my way better.

Pastor Eugene, I wanted to come out to the Faith and Race event last night. However, I had to give a talk at IV large group last night ironically about race. I wish I could have gone and I hope it was a constructive dialogue. Even though I don’t support Barack Obama in the primary, I think his speech is definitely a necessary and relevant topic in the context of the discussion about race. I’m excited that Quest has taken the initiative to engage in this issue, even if it may elicit some resistance.

I love the list of potential posts - very interesting. I was thinking of you, Eugene, and your good leadership. I think you should write something on why leadership is needed (and not a 4 letter word!) and what a healthy expression of that can be in this day and age. I’ve been aware of this with the way you and Minhee have started this humanitarian org. I know some have critiqued that public way you’ve gone about it (I had a twinge of that thought at first). But then I began to see it as great leadership - it’s risky to invite people to follow you into something that bold but a good example.

chad: the blog has a pretty broad base of readers. those who are familiar with scripture ad those who don’t. those who are christians and those who are not. those at quest and mostly outside of quest.

so, i’m pretty sure russ wasn’t joke and i know it wasn’t your intent to sound condescending.

you and randall’s words have great encouraged me; it’s good to know that it is impacting our worldview and lives - even in small ways.
