rude truth is JTB's little personal blog: a miscellany of ruminations on everything from cyborgs to potty training.
rude truth is also pleased to be hosting an ongoing series featuring a number of guest bloggers, whose contributions are archived under "Women in the Churches of Christ: voices and narratives." (Scroll down to find a complete list of these posts in the sidebar.)
"go upright and vital and speak the rude truth in all ways" --R. W. Emerson

Women in the Churches of Christ
The Mercy Street Church of Christ invitation
Seeking Women Preachers! We are scheduling guest preachers at the Mercy Street Church of Christ for our worship services for the next few months. If you feel called by God to preach contact Stan at the following email address. Or maybe you don't have that mysterious prompting people refer to as a "calling." Perhaps you just have a good word to proclaim to the church. Women from the Church of Christ heritage from the Abilene, Texas area or those who might be traveling to our fair city and would be willing to guest preach are encouraged to participate. I know we will be blessed.
I am a Ph.D. candidate in Theology and Science at Princeton Theological Seminary, mama, resident alien, G.R.I.T.S. (Girl Raised in the South), undomesticated goddess, and, of course, cyborg. My husband can officially absolve my sins, but I don't request this very often. My daughter can empirically verify a hypothesis and tell you all about it, when she's not pretending to be Ariel--um, Big Girl Annie--um, Little Einsteins girl Leo--um, a pony?--or making me be the baby, because she's the Mama. She blogs about life here. I have a toothless kitty cat who nonetheless can efficiently catch a mouse, and aptly named for the Babylonian goddess of chaos. I used to be athletic and perhaps one day will be again. I like to knit and re-read books from my childhood. I can call you crazy in Chinese. Oh, and I'm probably a diagnosable heretic--an occupational hazard. You can see for yourself at rude sermons. I'm also a heretic-for-hire, so check out my CV and my LinkedIn profile.
"Every theologian is committed and alienated; she is always in faith and in doubt; she is inside and outside the theological circle. Sometimes the one side prevails, sometimes the other; and she is never certain which side really prevails. Therefore, one criterion alone can be applied: a person can be a theologian as long as she acknowledges the content of the theological circle as her ultimate concern." (Paul Tillich)
