From ENS-
Many years before he would become the presiding bishop’s canon for
ministry beyond the Episcopal Church, the Rev. Charles Robertson was a
comic book fan.
“I learned how to read on comic books,” Robertson said. The first he
remembers reading was “Superboy and the Legion of Super-Heroes,” a
futuristic and optimistic fantasy in which the forces of good fight the
forces of evil.
Superhero conventions might not seem an obvious place to discuss
Jesus and the Gospel, but fans of comic books and the Good Book will
take center stage Sept. 29 as Virginia Theological Seminary hosts ΘeoCon
– pronounced “theo-con,” for theological convention. Its tagline is
“where theology meets pop culture,” and Robertson is on the list of
presenters and panelists.
