I agree, John. I'm hoping to post some concluding thoughts about this informal poll at a future day. My point in asking people to add to this list wasn't to prop up celebrity, but to subvert it. My suspicion was (and I think it has been somewhat confirmed) that we are often not influenced by the celebrities--but by other, lesser known, folks. We often get so caught up in talking about celebrity leaders that we don't stop and think about the people whose lives and stories have made the biggest impact in our lives.

Shouldn't we be focused on those who have no voice, no influence - the marginalized, the disenfranchised? Didn't Jesus scold his closest friends for concerning themselves with thoughts of "status" and "influence?"

We live in a culture built and saturated on celebrity. Let's be different, for Christ's sake.

Which two churchy or theological blogs have influenced you the most?
Faith and Theology Only Jesus Creed gets near this quality. Of course Ben, unlike Scot, gives credit when blogger part 2 chimes in. Just check out Kim's lists.
