Mo vs Pomo?

Continuing the discussion:

1.
Diversity / Locality (Many Views)
2. "Those are good questions"
3. 'Truth' is Relationally Constructed
4. Flow / Utility (Possibility)
5. Blurred Shifting Definitions - forthcoming

Anyway, I'm pasting two of the slides presented at last weekend's
EMO/Pomo meeting. I find such comparisons helpful, if a little far from exactly 'reality-depicting' i.e. it's only generally true and all thinkers of whatever stripes would have surely some bones to pick with at least some of the pairs.




As I mentioned during the session, the asterisk-ed items are those pomo elements I find particularly helpful/beneficial for church, spirituality, theology, etc. This is not to deny the value and extent of "modernity's" contribution, only to suggest that maybe in this 'new world' we're in, it may be wise to go beyond them.

The 'Jesus' suggestion sounds good! I believe our Lord powerfully transcends all these 'categories' though I'm sure He'll use and redeem whichever ones He sees fit, :)

SK, aiyo mengapa lu punya talk in Sunway? Then aku tak boleh pergi liow...do it in BLC one day la, hehe
