Hehehe i don’t really like having a lot of blogrings on my xanga to the point that it doesn’t really mean anything, but… I just joined this blogring “Christians who write..”  This is the description from the blogring site.

“This is a blogring for Christians who aspire to write prose and poetry: memoirs, science fiction, tragedy, fantasy—you name it—with genuine artistry. If you mention “Jesus” in every other line of your writing, this is not your blogring. This a blogring for the aspiring Federick Buechner, Annie Dillards and Anne Lamotts among you. I’m not so sure about aspiring John Stotts or J. I. Packers, but if you want to be a Philip Yancey or C. S. Lewis, you’re also quite welcome here!”

I think its funny how subtlety is a requirement for this blogring.  In order to be a Christian writer to non-Christian audiences, supposedly you need to be subtle.  Yet non-Christians aren’t dumb and they’re going to know when we try to convert them using our writing.  Another option is the Switchfoot option.  Talk about Christian truths without talking about Christ or Christianity.  While those truths may resonate with the public, will they ever acknowledge that those truths are from God?  Another question, is subtlety a cop-out/sell-out?  I’ve only vaguely heard of the authors mentioned, and it might be interesting to read them and see how they write.
