J Walking

A new piece by Alan Wolfe in The Guardian entitled “The religious right’s last rites” is worth a read.

Continuing from below… There is the theory of the walk and then the reality of the walk. The world seems less bleak and the questions not so pressing right now because so much of the fear is gone. I just walked into the doctor’s office, talked to him, got my prescription and left…and then did…

Part of my journey, my walk with Jesus, is my walk through places I do not want to go, places I do not want to be. That is true of everyone he calls; it is true of everyone who follows him. A month ago yesterday my book was released. For the last month, I’ve been…

Easterbrook, who is…

Mr. Abramoff is now off in a prison. We are all dreadfully aware of his sins. They have been very public. And he is aware of them, too. He wrote this in a final email to friends: “I have learned more lessons in the past three years than I have my whole life, and I…

…in December they are going to air a piece called “Welcome to the Future” with nerdy types like me talking about all sorts of different stuff. It was a great panel discussion. Jeff Greenfield of CNN, Irshad Manji, author of The Trouble with Islam Today, Amy Dickinson, advice columnist, and Ilario Pantano, a former Marine…
