Hi, John, I will do that. Not likely I’ll be able to read much on the subject at the moment, though.

Since there is an LCSH for it and it has it’s own DDC class # (230.046) there must be a decent amount of material on the subject.

I look forward to perhaps reading something about it and/or the intersection of librarians and clergy on your blog.

And, no, I do not mind at all your providing a link to your Slow Reading blog. If I was redoing my
“blogs one could read” presentation again it is one of the most likely to be added.

Hi barbara and thanks for the recommendation. It looks interesting. Glad you found out about John’s blog–it’s a good one and a very good concept.

Thanks Barbara. I don’t think Mark will mind if I leave the Slow Reading blog link, since you’re interested. http://slowreading.wordpress.com.

I’m still reading The Black Swan and just finished Taleb’s discussions of confimation bias and narrative fallacy. If you haven’t read it, it might provide some insights…

John, I will check out your blog.

“Narrative theology” — now that caught my eye. Some years ago, I worked as a counsellor, and I was interested in “narrative therapy” as an approach (the Wikipedia entry for this one is not bad). I would like to see a bibliotherapy program that engages librarians and counsellors. A similar motive drives my Slow Reading blog. I would like to learn more about narrative theology. Maybe there is another branch there — linking librarians and clergy. Hmm. You got me thinking. If you happen to read any further on the subject, I would be interested. Have a good day, Mark.
