    Hi Leland,

    From your March 12 post:

    I would say it's impossible to be a theologian apart from a faith community. Other people disagree.
    (NB theologian, not theologist).

    There's a lot of stuff on this in the MD Philosophy and Theology thread (again between me and DMB
    for the most part) starting in March 2003.
