Editorial Note

Some brief housekeeping announcements

I want to open by saying thank you to everyone who has read and engaged with this blog since we launched six weeks ago. I have been both surprised and encouraged by how many of you read and enjoy this blog (we have received nearly 35,000 unique views since we launched!). And I am grateful for our excellent writers who are getting us to think more critically about a variety of theological questions in the here and now. There are not an abundant amount of resources on the internet that engage the variety of topics discussed on this blog from a critical theological perspective, so I am thrilled with the small space we are creating here. And I think Karl would enjoy reading it as well.

Some of you have given me feedback that we are posting too often, and you can not keep up with reading so many posts. I get it—we are all busy and it feels like we are just getting busier as the days pass. For this reason, our team has decided to turn off the email notifications when we publish blogposts.

Here is what you can expect going forward:
We will keep updating the blog at least twice a week every Monday and Thursday. If you are receiving this email as a subscriber, you will receive an email every Friday (starting next week) with a short round up of our published posts from the week. The email will also include other occasional notes and updates from me about the Barth Center. There is, of course, no expectation that all subscribers will be interested in or able to keep up with all of the posts. A weekly roundup email will give you a snapshot of what we published throughout the week, and you are free to read whatever might pique your interest.

A final note: if you would like to contribute a post, you can submit a pitch here. While we are at capacity for committed writers right now, I would love for many of you to submit occasional posts if you feel so inclined.

Thank you again for all your support and interest. And thanks for your patience and feedback as we figure out our groove. You make this work a joy.
