I have previously included blog posts from Theolog, the blog of the Christian Century Magazine.
The Christian Century is a non-denominational biweekly magazine that has long been recognized as the preeminent independent publication of mainline Protestantism. Its prestigious status is reflected in the list of esteemed contributors to the magazine’s pages. Recognizable names from the past include Jane Addams, Reinhold Niebuhr, Martin Luther King Jr., Richard John Neuhaus, and Albert Schweitzer. More recently, the list includes Martin Marty, Carol Zaleski, Walter Brueggemann, Barbara Brown Taylor, and Will Willimon.
I am pleased that this blog, The Spirit of a Liberal, has been accepted into the Christian Century blog network … “thinking critically, living faithfully”. Here is the announcement from Steve Thorngate, the editor of Theolog.
Welcome new CCbloggers

Congratulations, Obie! And you can add me to the list of former Christian Century contributors. I’ve had three poems published in the magazine. Here’s a link to one of them, “Cicadas,” published in 1999.
congratulations!
Thanks Rob. I enjoyed the poem, very upbeat. I see the same sense of celebration in your photos. Here’s a teaser, I briefly use metamorphosis imagery in my soon to be released novel.
Thanks Diane. It’s nice to join you there.
I’m delighted at your inclusion in the list of linked blogs to The Christian Century! It, and “America”, the weekly Jesuit magazine, are always on the top of my desk, ready at hand. You are in excellent company, I’d say!
