Jason kicked off a discussion about the relationship between (academic) theology (and theologians) and the church over at

Why is theology so disconnected from the church? #dminlgp – Jason Clark which in turn led to this Theologians and the Church? : the church and postmodern culture.

An interesting conversation to follow, especially for me after thinking about some of this for the Flinders/ACD Theology Lecture earlier this year (See: Sacred Texts in a Secular World : Teaching sacred texts in a pluralistic, multi-faith, modern university campus).
