The Examined Life


The Campus Church and I are trying out a kind of dialogue. It will take place over a long period of time and will largely be about perspective. I, as an atheist, will participate in the Campus Church for a year. Alongside this, Dan Dewitt and I will maintain a blog, regularly writing back and forth about the experience. Hopefully you will not be surprised to find that this isn’t an argument (At least not a typical one). We intend to demonstrate that such opposing perspectives can share a peaceful, mutually beneficial dialogue. Each of us is already the kind of person who tries to live by Socrates’ credo ‘the unexamined live is not worth living’ and we wish to show by example that this holds true in practice.

PS This was supposed to go up two weeks ago. My bad.
