Thank-you to my campus ministry friend who passed along Sola Scriptura or Scriptura Solo? -- a URC pastor's blog post which discusses the use of creeds, confessions, and the role of the church. The topic of primary authority and our interpretative responses as individuals within a particular context to primary authority has become a topic of conversation which has occupied me over the past 2 months.  Alvin Kimel's Sola Scriptura post at Pontifications has also been of particular interest, note: it delves into Sola Scriptura in relationship to the Anglican Communion.

The script typing at the beginning of Atonement (2007) drew me in, reminding me of hours spent at my parents' typewriter which slowly morphed into an electronic typewriter and various computer keyboards.  In some manner I too chronicle my life, relationships, and thoughts.  Likewise, much of my energy is spent gathering people together to enact, to live in, to retell a true story.  But the love, the truth, and the hope offered by Atonement (2007), both properly and improperly understood crossed a line which makes me wonder whether I have interest in watching such films any longer.  If the answer is No, I surprise myself.  Why?
