One Man's Web
At One Man's Web you can read about Theology, Cynicism, Men, Joy, Depression, The Gospel of Mark, Sexuality, Fundamentalism, Creation "Science" and more...
I try to share some of the joy and sadness I find in our world. Preachy, cynical, wondering, disillusioned and lost, or all of these together...
I am seeking to reflect a way of living that is about being honest about feelings, but focussed on high ideals. It's messy... like my life... but I have learned to love it and enjoy it.

"This means that true worship has little to do with saying words of praise, but is rather identical with having the courage to be all that I can be. True worship is a process that suggests and celebrates the fact that the more deeply and fully I can be who I am, the more I will make God, understood as being itself, visible. This God then becomes not a separate entity, but the depth dimension of being itself, which is present in every living thing but comes to self-consciousness only in the human life.", [John Shelby Spong, Eternal Life: A New Vision]
Fundamentalism fails to make contact with the present situation, not because it speaks from beyond every situation, but because it speaks from a situation of the past. It elevates something finite and transitory to infinite and eternal validity. In this respect fundamentalism has demonic traits. Paul Tillich p3 Systematic Theology Part 1
"The ascension of Jesus into God is thus not a spatial idea that must be believed or embraced; it is rather a pathway that each of us must undertake to walk." [John Shelby Spong, Eternal Life: A New Vision]
The current project here is to repost some of the work from a church (re)Wired. Currently the work done on The Gospel of Matthew in 2008 is being reposted. You can find this here; or you could just go to church (re)Wired, where is is all present!
November 1 2009: In the last 12 months it might seem this site has gone to sleep!
Those in the know are aware I have been very busy over at a church (re)wired, and decide I have abandoned One Man's Web. In fact, I have slowly been converting the old static html site to CMS Made Simple. Given the 500 odd pages here (in both senses of the word!) that has been a marathon task. But the new format is up and running.
The program I used to import the old html pages has occasionally done some really odd things to formatting, so if you find something bizarre please let me know by emailing .
I am still applying some of the templates on this new site, so you may find some of the menus a little crowded, but this will be finished by the beginning of December
Andrew.
