literary agents, e-democracy & antinomianism
I'm not saying much about the meeting with the literary agent last week, because there's nothing definite to say, but (if anyone was wondering) it went well.
In other news, I'm taking part in an EU "Citizen's Awareness" project looking at e-citizenship, e-democracy, e-tc... As part of which, I'll be blogging here about how technology might lead to a more democratic local culture and stuff.
And Dan O, who roped me into that project, sent me a link to a highly articulate Indymedia rant he wrote during the London ESF in 2004, because he brought up the topic of 'antinomianism' in the pub.
Although I agree with him about the SWP, I've always assumed antinomians were rather more anarchic:

There are several issues that are addressed by the charge of antinomianism. The charge may represent the fear that a given theological position does not lead to the edification of the believer or assist him in leading a regenerate life. Doctrines that tend to erode the authority of the church and its right to prescribe religious practices for the faithful are often condemned as antinomian. The charge is also brought against those whose teachings are perceived as hostile to government and established authority...
Theological charges of antinomianism typically imply that the opponent's doctrine leads to various sorts of licentiousness, and imply that the antinomian chooses his theology in order to further a career of dissipation.
