Faith Forming Faith, Faith Shaping Ministry
Here are these three different gifts of our Lutheran theological and liturgical tradition that help us bear baptismal fruit that will last, once weâre out of the font:
Lutherâs baptismal theology of a daily dying and rising.
The weekly rhythm of the assembly gathering around Word and Sacrament.
The wonder and mystery that is the liturgical year.
Each of these gifts in their own way urge and equip us to get beyond the waters of an individualized baptismal security tank and into the world to serve, the very place to which the tide of our baptismal waters is meant to carry us
Interactive data exploration with targeted projection pursuit
Data exploration is a vital, but little considered, part of the scientific process; but few visualisation tools can cope with truly complex data. Targeted Projection Pursuit (TPP) is an interactive data exploration technique that provides an intuitive and transparent interface for data exploration. A prototype has been evaluated quantitatively and found to outperform algorithmic techniques on standard visual analysis tasks

Know How and Acts of Faith
My topic in this paper is the nature of faith. Much of the discussion
concerning the nature of faith proceeds by focussing on the relationship
between faith and belief. In this paper, I explore a different approach. I
suggest that we approach the question of what faith involves by focussing on
the relationship between faith and action. When we have faith, we
generally manifest it in how we act; we perform acts of faith: we share our
secrets, rely on otherâs judgment, refrain from going through our partnerâs
emails, let our children prepare for an important exam without our
interference. Religious faith, too is manifested in acts of faith: attending
worship, singing the liturgy, fasting, embarking on a pilgrimage.
I argue that approaching faith by way of acts of faith, reveals that
faith is a complex mental state whose elements go beyond doxastic states
towards particular propositions. It also involves conative states and â perhaps
more surprisingly â know how. This has consequences for the epistemology
of faith: the role of testimony and experts, the importance of practices, and
what we should make of Pascalâs advice for how to acquire faith
