This looks REALLY interesting. My initial scan through was very enjoyable! I'm gutted that I'm presenting in a parallel session - otherwise I'd be there!

A couple of brief thoughts/questions/observations...

Tanner is cool, and I love how you use her regarding forces beyond us - I echoed that in a paper where she was actually on the floor, asking questions (ISRLC 2014, https://www.academia.edu/8448970/The_Guiding_Trajectory_of_Love_Embodied_Creatures_caught_up_in_the_Trinity [paper is a rough draft pending publication of a more final one somewhere else]) and 'Christ the Key' has been a fun conversation partner since then. I wonder whether you could flesh that bit out more, or what you think of those 'forces'?

If you had time, @Elizabeth Chapin - I'd love your thoughts on my paper on theological anthropology and social media, which had hints of some of the stuff we talked about last year at SVS, but meshes perhaps more obviously/easily with this paper: http://www.academia.edu/6715138/_Disembodied_Relationality_contextualising_an_ethic_of_social_media_within_an_understanding_of_the_imago_Dei_
