Brian McLaren's Posts

Under construction...

Brian is a very controversial thinker and an exasperating character. That's what makes him so much fun. Here is a collection of his posts to the tuning forum at Mill College. There are about 300 of these, and until I find a .txt to .html converter that works, they will appear slowly and sometimes in raw text form experimentally. If you get hash, come back later.
