The sorrows of Mary and the callings of Christians

Last updated on: August 8, 2015 at 1:19 pm By Edwin Woodruff Tait

Today is the day after the Feast of the Holy Cross, and in the Catholic tradition this is, fittingly, the commemoration of the Sorrows of Mary. Historically, this feast originated in 1668, although it drew on a longer tradition of devotion to Mary as the sorrowful mother of the suffering Christ. In the 13th century, a religious order, the Servites, made this devotion the focus of their existence as a community, and the September commemoration was a gift to the... Read more

Oliver Lee Bateman, QuitLit, and the Higher Education “Staypieces” We Really Need

Last updated on: September 11, 2015 at 2:57 pm By Guest Contributor

By Noah Toly In a by-now-more-or-less-viral post to Vox yesterday, Oliver Lee Bateman (posting under the name Oliver Lee) announced he would be quitting his tenure-track faculty position in history at University of Texas – Arlington. Bateman’s post can be added to the burgeoning list of “quit lit” focused on departures from academia. Today, some respondents took Bateman to task. Georgia Tech’s Ian Bogost tells Bateman “No One Cares that You Quit Your Job.” Or, as Sarah Conrad Sours writes, “The sum total of [Bateman’s]... Read more

“Emmanuel labor”

Last updated on: September 7, 2015 at 5:01 pm By Mission:Work

By Mike Coyner Yesterday was the American holiday we call “Labor Day,” which many of us celebrate by having the day off. Up until the last few years, Labor Day weekend was always a time for the Coyner family to get together and celebrate birthdays – my sister Jill on September 2nd, Mom on September 6th, and mine on September 7th. Typically this meant a pool party at Mom and Dad’s home in Anderson, and it was a good way to mark... Read more

Kim Davis and the ethics of workplace resistance

Last updated on: September 8, 2015 at 7:59 am By Edwin Woodruff Tait

I hadn’t planned to write a formal blog post about Kim Davis. I’ve gotten involved in several conversations about her on Facebook recently, mostly playing devil’s advocate, and I thought probably that was enough–or even too much. But then my beloved wife Jennifer complained that she didn’t have anyone writing about Davis on the Patheos Faith and Work Channel. [That was Monday morning before David Rupert’s post on the subject at Red Letter Believers.] So, with some misgivings, here goes.... Read more
