Christian outside the box

'Listened to this podcast the other day...very interesting...talk about a Christian who defies easy-labeling...in some ways it's tough to see how he's a Christian in any familiar sense, but he has a number of thought-provoking observations worth listening to--including his assertion that the most important thing we have to do in the next 50-100 years is to convince religious people that environmental sustainability is a crisis that must be addressed (ie they aren't going to become Dawkins-loving atheists overnight...you're going to have sell religious believers largely on their own terms of the idea of global environmental sustainability). Dowd's home page is here; lots of interesting stuff there as well...

This "infidel guy's" podcast is pretty decent by the way. I particularly like his segments with the "Bible Geek" (Robert Price), who always has something interesting and very intelligent to say about Biblical history, issues, etc.
