Greetings and blessings to you all.
Some who know me might have noticed the incidence of 'testiness' creeping into my posts, and my views on fundamentalism might, in retrospect, be somewhat outspoken and unfair.
I apologies.
The reality is (as you know) I am fully engaged in a very intensive study of theology, with a demanding reading/writing schedule. I am now late with an essay on the arguments of the fourth century over the expression of Trinitarian doctrine, an area of particular interest to me; I am awash in councils, faith, religion, theologia and oikonomia, politics, spin, intrigue, philosophy ... the essay limit is 3.5k words ... I'm up to 7k, not finished, and facing a mamoth editing task.
I am now creeping into preparation time for the next essay, on Trinitarian analogy and typology in Augustine and Aquinas ...
... I have an exam in 5 weeks on O.T. studies (bananabrain, fancy sitting in for me?).
Stress factors are building. I'm hitting my kids more than ever! (I'm kidding!)
So I am telling myself again that I must withdraw from CR, for the meantime at least. Here I am writing to you, with my essay document waiting patiently behind the browser for me to get on with it.
I shall watch, of course, but I shall refrain from engagement, unless I can offer something succinct and non-inflamatory, probably on Catholic doctrine of Church history.
And if I start getting carried away, will someone please post a "how's the essay going?" reply to remind me of my priorities?
