With all the excitement around at the moment - both in terms of the general Chrsitmassy type seasonal stuff as well as the personal, getting-married-in-19-days stuff means that I don’t have the sort of time I’d want to dedicate to doing AT properly, so we’re just going to let it take a break for a while. Because I am getting married, and will not be blogging during the honeymoon for remarkably obvious reasons, this means that Amateur Theology will resume in February, 2008.
But in the meantime, I would really love it if we could get some more perspectives from wider than just myself. So if you have anything to contribute, could you send it to submissions@amateurtheology.org. That way we can relaunch in February with hopefully a much more communal feel.
Thanks
Geoff Matheson, Amateur Theology Adminstrator/principal blogger/editor

do you like stuff?

So please - set aside 20 minutes to watch the whole video here, and understand what’s wrong with the system that our world economy is centered around. The Story Of Stuff
