The blessings of business?

Last updated on: June 30, 2016 at 10:53 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

A month or so ago, I got an email from my doctoral advisor (who has some idea which way my life path has gone) saying that I ought to review a book called The Blessings of Business by Darren Grem. In conjunction, he said, with Timothy Gloege’s Guaranteed Pure, a scholarly history of Moody Bible Institute. The Blessings of Business had, at that point, not been released; but Guaranteed Pure had, and so I dutifully got it from the library... Read more

Fickle Fans and Public Opinion

Last updated on: June 28, 2016 at 1:19 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner I was home last Wednesday waiting for some repairmen to arrive at our house, so I watched some of the celebration in Cleveland. They deserved a time to celebrate after all of those years of frustration. Finally, their beloved NBA team, the Cavaliers, had won a world championship and ended their long drought. Over those years many times they had been close with football, basement, and basketball – but now finally they had a chance to celebrate... Read more

#Brexit and the day I turned into a classical liberal

Last updated on: June 25, 2016 at 9:36 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

I found out about #Brexit yesterday morning under less than ideal circumstances: my husband and I got up at 4:30 am to take our preschooler in for a tonsillectomy. While idly waiting around to get in the car, I checked Facebook. I had gone to bed the previous night instead of staying up for the referendum returns because, darn it, I had to get up at 4:30 am. But, just as when you go to bed even though your favorite... Read more

The good, the bad, and the Amway: a second post from #AU2016

Last updated on: June 16, 2016 at 1:49 pm By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

I’ve now been through the opening banquet and one full day of Acton University, and I have thoughts. Boy, do I ever have thoughts. I’ll try to get some of them into this post. What I’ve done so far: Plenary, Magatte Wade: Wade, a Sufi Muslim and the founder of several businesses, made a passionate plea for Westerners not taking colonial, paternalistic attitudes towards Africans and emphasized the values of entrepreneurship and hard work. “Christ and Culture Revisited,” Hunter Baker:...

“What if I told you the boundaries are wrong?” #AU2016

Last updated on: June 15, 2016 at 10:32 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

So, I’m here at Acton University in beautiful downtown Grand Rapids (I’m actually not kidding; the river is really pretty and I enjoyed walking along it last night) in a room full of several thousand traditional Catholics and evangelicals all concerned with economics and politics. How exactly does a nice Episcopal priest and English major end up in a place like this? Well, my husband Edwin came last year as a blogger (you can read his reflections about the experience...

Congratulations, Michael Coyner!

Bishop Michael Coyner of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church, whose reflections you have read many times in this space, is retiring from being an active bishop in August and had his retirement celebrated here. In celebration I thought I’d point you back to all of his excellent columns that we’ve reprinted here. You can read a lot more of them on the Indiana United Methodist website.

The Blessed Virgin Mary, working mother?

More on the ugly secret of working moms

Last updated on: June 10, 2016 at 9:55 am By Jennifer Woodruff Tait

An article on this just came out in The Week, capturing very clearly a lot of what I’ve felt for a while (and written about previously on this blog.) From the moment I became pregnant with my first child, who graduates high school this month, I’ve had the unshakable sensation that I’m faking big chunks of my life, playing the part of a competent and confident mother and professional — but in fact always shortchanging someone their due. Arriving late... Read more

Jesus Reads My Email

Last updated on: June 7, 2016 at 9:40 pm By Guest Contributor

By Mike Coyner Recently I was involved in a conversation about how people use e-mail and other forms of social media in ways which are harmful and even hateful. I made the point that e-mail and media are “too easy” — so that perhaps people send or post things that they would never say if they had to speak face-to-face or even if they had to write a letter, sign it, and post it for mailing. There is just something... Read more
