Greetings!  This is my first post to the God Complex blog, and I’m not even sure I know how to get it posted.  So, if you see this, maybe a miracle happened.

Let me start this whole blogging thing out by telling you a couple of things about God Complex, and about me.

God Complex is a weekly webcast to explore all sorts of ideas about God and spirituality.  Is it a “Christian” show?  Well, read about me below and you’ll see that I am a Christian, and so, yes, it talks about things from a Christian perspective.  But I hope it won’t just be a rehashing of Christian ideas - a reiteration of old, familiar stuff.  Hopefully, God Complex will help you think about your spiritual ideas, whatever they are, in new ways.

In fact, God Complex may be especially interesting for those of you who have been steeped in Christian religion, because I’m going to be looking past religion to the heart of things.  And the heart of Christianity is not religion.  I’ll just leave it at that, for now.

About me.  I’m an Anglican priest.  “Anglican” = Church of England.  “Priest” = pastor, or minister.  That means I went to school for an inordinately long time, got a second Master’s Degree, and got ordained.  But, bottom line is, I am a Christian.  Or, to use the description of the earliest disciples of Jesus Christ, I am a follower of the Way.  What I do as a profession is, for me, simply another part of that Way.  I follow Jesus.  When I can.  And I’ll leave that for now, as well.

Anyway, there you are.  Hopefully you’ll find God Complex interesting, challenging, and maybe even offensive.  I look forward to seeing your response to this whole thing.  I’ve never done anything like this before, so we’ll just see how it shapes up.

In fact, as I said earlier, I’ve never even posted to a blog before.  So, I’m really interested to see what happens when I press that button right up there ….
