No, not that I understood anything in new and hitherto unanticipated ways today, but today was the last class of Epiphany Term for me, and I lectured on Revelation for the New Testament II class. I barely made it through; I was worn out and punchy, and the class was only marginally more composed (if that). I had been marking papers furiously, then found that the seminary courseware doesn't support essay questions as part of its quizzing module, so I had to develop a workaround in, oh, exactly no time.
So when you tell me that Tom has contributed again to our de Man discussion (and it feels good to be talking theory again with these friends), I have to ask for a day or two off on account of fried brain cells.
But I’m not so very fried that I didn’t notice this story (that Micah called to my attention). Perhaps the reporter conveyed a misleading impression of the Episcopal Church’s associate director for ecumenical and interfaith relations, but this story doesn’t depict the vision for technology and theology that I might have hoped for in a figure of such importance.
And I’ve continued to see a lot about The Passion, including two stories that depict responses from left and right that all sound shallow and off-track.
I’ll get to sleep and try to say something worthwhile tomorrow.

Oh, this term is so over. (^_^)
