Here is my interview with John Scanlon, the man behind SING. You were a lawyer and a banker and you read a Washington Post article  and a month later you were in Uganda. Huh?   I know, it sounds nuts!  But here’s what happened.    I was just reading the paper one morning when I…

There is a little boy in a cancer ward in Oklahoma who is in dire need of a miracle. There is a family caring for the little boy who needs that same miracle. His name is Mitch and he has leukemia. Things are going very, very poorly and he is in enormous pain. Their last…

John Scanlon was an attorney and a banker and lived a happy life in DC’s Georgetown community. Then one day he opened his Washington Post and read an article about AIDS in Uganda. It was the sort of article we all see regularly – a story about tragedy and suffering in a distant place. Fast…

The latest AP poll puts into sharp relief what everyone already knows – the GOP is a grandly opposed party: White men, conservatives, evangelicals and other pivotal blocs are divided among the Republican Party’s leading contenders for president, leaving the race for the 2008 GOP nomination highly fluid, according to the latest Associated Press-Ipsos poll.…

Bill Clinton’s new book, Giving: How Each of Us Can Change the World is out to much fanfare. I haven’t read it yet and frankly wasn’t planning on reading it. But then a friend send me a note saying, “So I actually purchased Bill Clinton’s latest book Giving……and I’m actually enjoying it. I’m not sure…

A little belatedly I’ve stumbled across the best eulogy to the late Luciano Pavoratti. It is, perhaps not surprisingly, from another dramatist named Bono. If the purpose of a eulogy is to capture a person, to celebrate a life, to inform others about the deceased, this seems almost perfect: Some can sing opera, Luciano Pavarotti…

Is there sex in heaven? Stay with me here. Jesus makes it clear that there is no marriage but he says nothing about sex itself. We are told that we are getting resurrection bodies that have the ability to eat and drink. What other abilities will we have? And how will we use them? Will…

This is, in a way, a very different kind of “thin place.” In another it is the thinnest of places. Thanks to Greg.
