I got my theological training at Boston University School of Theology, one of the schools which is rare to find in United Methodist pastors in Oklahoma…I think I’m currently the only one with a BU MDiv actually.

In addition to top-notch theological training, the music during Chapel services was always a treat every year. Here’s the Chapel Choir (or is it the Chancel Choir?) singing a medley of carols…it’s awesome.

Take a look & listen:

You can also watch it at BU Online.

Have a Postmodern Christmas!

One of my seminary professors Bryan Stone has a great parody of “Twas the Night Before Christmas” up.

Here’s a sample:

Twas a Postmodern Christmas, when all through the regime
Not a concept was stirring, not even a meme.
Essentialist dogmas were nurtured with care,
And imperialist ambitions still hung in the air

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While grand narratives of progress danced in their heads.

And my favorite part:

“Now Heidegger, Nietzsche! Now, Levinas and Lyotard!
On Derrida, Foucault! On Butler and Baudrillard!
To each modern foundation, to each stucturalist wall!
Now deconstruct! Deconstruct! Deconstruct all!”

For my geeky theology friends, it’s Christmas joy! Read the rest here.
