Hi Therese (and fellow xmca-ers)!

Nice to hear your voice on xmca! I like your starter phrase, "Guess I'm
becoming legitimate" :-)

Two words in your interesting introduction caught my attention in
particular: "theology" and "unpolitical". I'd like to hear more of your
thoughts on these; I must admit that I personally hold a certain view:
living in this world, can we really be "unpolitical"? Can there be an
unpolitical theology?
(That of course depends on what one means by "political", but would like
to hear what you think...)

Cheers,
Angel
