Let's Welcome Stan...
So I feel it is my duty to inform all you people living close to Winnipeg that we have a great chance to meet a real theologian. On November 6th at 7pm at St. Margaret's Anglican Church, Stanley Hauerwas will be giving a lecture titled 'Why Most North American are Afraid to Die." In the last years i have been encourage by his honesty. When i was an Resident Assistant at Providence College i read "Resident Aliens" which really helped me along in understanding the church. So if you do have Monday free please attend i promise you won't be disappointed. As for me i am still trying to figure out how to attend as i have Monday evening class and a paper due ..but i am still holding out that i might be able to make it...if not and any of you attend please fill me in on the details of Stan's lecture...

It'd be great if the talk were recorded and made available for download.
Wow...I'm jealous. Hope you can make it and give us a full report.
Hauerwas is one of the greatest living theologians, whether we agree with him or not.

A Hauerwas story:
Someone tells a story about recently becoming a Christian. As he was walking through the crowded airport he hears his friend and colleague Stanley Hauerwas saying (in his unique Texan accent):
"Hey shithead - I heard you became a Christian!"
Ah Stanley. There's no one like him.
Hey
Joey: yeah it would be challenging to hear him speak. I always get the feeling he speaks TRUTH so boldly.
Matthew: Hi. I'm not sure i know you or how you found my Blog, but welcome to my world. I'm not sure if it will be made available for download, but i imagine if i do go..i will write a huge portion about it next week. All the Best. Just a thought if you like Hauerwas, you should check out "The Great Giveaway" by David Fitch..its a great book.
I echo Chris's recommendation on Fitch's book. It's very "Hauerwasian."
Yes Chris, if you do I'll be expecting a full-blown blog report.
Hey Matthew and Joey...
It is looking fairly promising for me to go see Stan. My prof said that as long as i get someone to look at my submission due that day prior to class...i can go(but i think my prof did this unwillingly)...so i imagine i will be able to make it...so you can look forward to a length entry sometime next week...
