CURRENT MISSION

Think about and live a lifestyle deeply rooted in Tradition, community, and radical(as in root) christianity

ABOUT ME

I am a disciple of traditional, Communitarian, and scripture-based Christianity, as exemplified by the ethos laid down by Jesus, the book of Acts, and the apostles(which looks drastically different than the Christianity most of us come into contact with today!) I see myself as part of a great tradition of ancient Hebraic-Christian thinkers and disciples throught the ages (such as Augustine, Calvin, Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, and so on.)
Im a vegetarian as well.....

PHILOSOPHY

Well, I am a Jew-Christian-Augustinian-Calvinist-Traditionalist-Communitarian. I believe that we find value not through ourselves, but through our experiences and relationships with the people,places, and ideas in which we come into contact. thus we find ourselves in constant dialectical process with the world around us, in which we are constantly learning and seeking wisdom.
To name a few thinkers and intellectuals I admire: All the Hebraic prophets, the Apostles, Augustine,

Lehren, lernen, teilen

Learn to love a place, and a people.
forget the American dream; replace it with meaningful relationships with God, learning, people, places, and experiences.
Learn to be content with very little, and develop your identity around people, not products: consumerism and narcissism (the fundamental principles of our own economic system)consitute a road to nihilism and meaninglessness.

Anyways, theres always much more.
