« George Allen: Not Ready for Prime Time? | Main | Astronomers to Pluto: You're Fired! » August 24, 2006Conspiracy Theory, John Knox StyleEarlier this month, Westminster John Knox Press released David Ray Griffin's Christian Faith and the Truth Behind 9/11: A Call to Reflection and Action. Westminster is an official publisher of the Presbyterian Church-USA (PCUSA), and Griffin is a process theologian. Hype over this book has been in works for some time. "Disparate treatment" is an understatement for a book like this, but the most wide-spread reaction has been shock that Westminster would publish the book. Griffin's latest work claims that the Bush administration was behind the 9/11 attacks, and that the current government is working against God's Will. Westminster states that it "share[s]" the author's primary allegiance to God, and that it wants to "encourage sustained, informed, and respectful dialogue" concerning "pressing issues." The problem is, there doesn't seem to be much coming from the other side, political or theological, in this dialogue within the PCUSA. Perhaps it came with the divestment decision in 2004, or this year's Advisory Opinion on ordination and defrockment. Maybe our friends in the Presbyterian Church in America are right; there has not been much dialogue going on since Auburn so many years ago.
