Quo: Radio Open Source

Quid, from previous post:

HI ER,

I'm a producer for a public radio show, Open Source, www.radioopensource.org. We'd like permission to read from your blog on our show tomorrow. Please email me and I can further explain. Chelsea@radioopensource.org.

Thanks

They are doing a show about what was being said in the blogosphere on Tuesday June 6, if I read it right.

What was the hot topic of the day at ER's site? The war(s)? Politics? Nominees for additions to the Christian Canon? What Christianity should do with homosexuals? No!

Barbecue! "Air ribs! Meat from heaven!" (Although I did also plug CrossWalk America the same day, I'm pretty sure it's the ribs that they're interested in.)

As I say, some days are more erudite, some days are more redneck!

Zounds! Something good has already come from this Yankee drifter who drifted in here yesterday, Chelsea Merz! I've gone and done it now! Downloaded iTunes, so I could get a podcast of this show! That'll put a little high-tech in my redneck!

From the Radio Open Source site:

Open Source is a conversation, four times a week on the radio and any time you like on the blog. We designed the show to invert the traditional relationship between broadcast and the web: we aren’t a public radio show with a web community, we’re a web community that produces a daily hour of radio.

Majorly cool.

CNN Tonight: A Heated Debate on God and Gays

Exclusive! God and gays with America's first
openly gay Episcopal bishop and more.
As two of America's biggest denominations
debate who decides how millions worship?
Should gays stay in a church that won't accept them?

Tonight only on Larry King Live!
 
I watched the God-and-gays show -- untio the callers, because I can't stand call-in shows of any kind.

It was a fair representation of the dichotomy Christianity faces when it comes to homosexuality:

Do we adhere uncritically read the Bible and accept it clumsily, blinfly and withoput question?

Or do we dare interpret it in light of God's love, His grace and Jesus's persomal example of radical hospitality, specific fellowship with those at the margins of society -- daring even, AS HE DID, to brush aside parts of our inherited Scripture and Scriptural tradition in favor of loving wastefully and dangerously?
