One End, Two Beginnings

As club chair, I now officially dissolve the Mo Blog Club--thanks to all participants in what was, I believe, a successful experiment. After considerable discussion by club members, I also announce two new successor clubs as follows: (1) Mo Life, chaired by Dave's Mormon Inquiry, aimed at personal or journal blogs with some interest in Mormon themes, but of course you can always say anything you want in your blog because it's your blog; and (2) RPT (for Religion, Philosophy, and Theology), chaired by Mormon Metaphysics, aimed at bookish or analytically-inclined blogs, but of course you can always say anything you want in your blog because it's your blog.

Should Clark decline the minimal duties of being chair of the RPT Club (and of course he can change the name if he's chair), then another interested party may step forward. Hey, it's just blogging. Look for an intro blog posted at the respective sites for membership information and further details (I will put up a post on Mo Life Monday evening). Name of club, refining or broadening the theme, accepting or rejecting members, etc., are all decisions taken by the respective chairs, simply to be efficient and definitive about taking care of administrative details. Existing club members or interested newcomers can self-select into either club by applying to the club of their choice. For basic information on the blog club concept, go read the original Blog Club FAQ.

Well, I think I'm for Mo Life.

I wonder if it should be the RPTL club (or the RePTiLes?) for Religion, Politics, Theology and Law.

I'm open to including politics so long as they have a vaguely Mormon thrust. Sort of like most of the political discussions over at T&S. But they certainly don't have to be like mine. (Indeed I truly hope they aren't - I enjoy reading other takes on things and especially commenting, as readers of T&S know)

I messed that up. I think the "P" was meant to be for Philosophy, not for politics.

clark...will you or dave be posting the list for Reptile?

Look for a post at Mormon Metaphysics where comments and "applications" can start accumulating. There is already an "RPT Blog Club" listing on his sidebar, but that will be updated as blogs self-select into the newly coalescing clubs.

I believe one of my other blogs is going to apply to the RPT club when there's a post up over there to comment on.

I'd love to join one of the clubs, but the stuff about religion will be relatively sparse while the posts about politics will be very promiscuous. I do post things about my life, though not terribly often. Are either of the clubs for me?
