I certainly agree with passive learning… I have called it ‘knowledge Grazing’ in a book I’m working on at the moment…. There’s a bit about this here… http://www.agent4change.net/grapevine/platform/2050-hungry-for-learning-knowledge-grazing-fits-the-bill.html
And for the church, well, maybe the passive learning paradigm is good. You already post the vid of the sermon for folks to watch again and digest – the number of questions people ask you or points they raise with you about the sermon after watching it again would perhaps be an indication as to how much passive church-type learning is taking place?

More especially the internet provides access to the 0.001% (probably less) of the population whose lives – like one’s own – revolve around these things.

4th Century
It strikes me that I might have enjoyed living through the 4th century christology controversies. Anathemas and Excommunications of opponents might have been just the thing for me.

Theology Cards
I stumbled across a series of “theology cards” on http://disseminary.org/ which are just the kind of thing that makes me thankful for the web. It adds so much spice to life. I like the Tertullian one best – http://disseminary.org/hoopoe/pubs/cards/Tertullian1.pdf – Tertullian looks wonderfully grumpy you can imagine him growling… “What has Athens to do with Jerusalem?”(We do…
