[update]

Hi:

Sorry for having less posts lately. This is primarily because the summer family schedule has been very busy and there's been little time. As well, the video which I created took a lot of time and work and there are several books I'm reading (watch for quotes in the future).

Don't worry -- I am not experiencing a creative block. I have a lot of cartoon ideas which I have not drawn yet. Just need time to do so. And I'm doing initial work on a new article.

If you're new to the blog, check out the many amazing cartoons which were posted over the past year and a half -- use the archive or the categories on the right to find what interests you. Or check out this excerpt of a conversation between Bono and the author of Bono: A Self-Portrait in Conversation.

[key books related to exclusion and embrace]



Here are some key books which I've been reading related to the themes of this blog:

Exclusion and Embrace: A Theological Exploration of Identity, Otherness, and Reconciliation*
Miroslav Volf
Very profound!
Academic. I read it through twice and still only understand a quarter of it. However, I am regularly re-reading portions of key chapters to better understand it.
