Parking Amateur Theology

If you’re still subscribed to an RSS Feed, or visit moderately frequently, you’ll have noticed that nothing has happened here for quite a while. So after some to-ing and fro-ing, I’ve officially decided that Amateur Theology is “parked”, and I don’t have any plans to continue blogging here in the forseeable future.
Basically, while I am still very excited about the “idea” behind Amateur Theology, the implementation just never quite took off. It quickly became “the place where Geoff blogs about theology”, rather than a place where lots of people discuss theology.
So for the moment, AT is suspended, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be forever. If we had a group of four or five people keen to explore theology together on this site, I’d be quite keen to get back in and have a crack. But I think that it’ll need at least four or five people - willing to post at least once a fortnight for this to be a worthwhile exercise. I still passionately believe in the idea, but I don’t think the idea has found the implementation it deserves.
If there is anyone keen to assist in re-birthing this site - please feel free to email me at submissions@amateurtheology.org
Thanks
Geoff

Geoff … I understand but I enjoyed what you wrote and will miss you. I know you asked me to write some here but every time I did I ended up getting distracted or posting on my own blog.
Sorry … I think you had a great idea but at least for me, laziness got the best of me.
I should probably email you rather than post here (since you’re not blogging here), but I thought I’d mention that I’d love to have you at The Crowded Handbasket.
I’m the same Kay you have on your blogroll here and I’m the admin at the Handbasket.
