A Presbyterian minister blogs about spirituality, culture, religion (both organized and disorganized), life, evolution, literature, Jesus, and lightening up.
This is my personal blog. I comment about theology, social issues, political issues and what not. These are my views and do not represent those of the congregation I joyfully serve. But my congregation loves me! Read More
"Shuck reads a lot, but he doesn’t limit himself to the library. He offers his own theological and ethical reflections on a wide range of issues, including the environment, politics, the church, the American Empire, and more. Much more." --Doug King, Witherspoon Society
"One of the most vile blogs on the net. God have mercy on us." --Rev. John Erthein, Erie, PA
"Tip o' the fez to Rev. John over at Shuck and Jive....I found Jesus over there...he was hiding in John's archives." --Dr. Monkey Von Monkerstein, Johnson City, TN
"Of course this is all a lot of nonsense..." --Viola Larson, Voices of Orthodox Women
"...one of the more interesting pastors I've ever come across." --Yael of "Pharisees Rock!"
"He's a social justice warrior with a mission for GLBT equality. Lots of good stuff over there." --Southern Beale, Nashville, TN
"Flirting with a con-artist like Shuck is hardly a way of witnessing to any kind of biblical faith." --Rev. Toby Brown, Cuero, TX
"John Shuck's blog Shuck and Jive has been one of my favorites for many months now, and I resonate quite a bit with his take on spirituality, politics, and Christendom." --Mick Bradley The Harping Monkey
"I sometimes wonder why I have a blog. I could save an incredible amount of effort by sending people to your blog with the advice: 'Believe and do just the opposite of what John says." It's amazing how often that would put them in exactly the right place biblically and theologically.'" --Rev. Jim Berkley, IRD
"Reverend, community organizer, peace maker and so much more...I just love John's tireless passion for making the world a better place. You rock, Shuck!" --Fran I Am, Albany, NY
"Shuck and Jive, a fantastic blog for the progressive Christian movement." --Rev. John Wilde, Whitesboro, NY
"Everyone in the denomination knows that John Shuck is as close to being a heretic as we have in the PCUSA." --Virginia Parrish, Atlanta
"This man has not only challenged my thinking on what organized religion can do (ie. something other than judgment, inadvertent wrong, and outright evil), he shows just what good we can attain if we have the balls and conviction to be unconventional and honest." --Southern Female Lawyer, Johnson City, TN "And yes, his activities have been reported." --Rev. Bill Crawford, Thibodaux, LA
