Daily Fragments for 10/11/2012: Quotations Sausages, Pancakes and Encouragement: “Fussing. That’s what he did. He fussed over Mama. In a good way. In that way of people who love their jobs and love the people they serve.” The Danger of Sexual Labeling: “These labels we give each other take all the nuances that are our sexuality and turn them into a label we’re then told to wear, as if this action, or that longing is who we are. This is... Read more

And I was ashamed, as if we were making a spectacle of these people… Try as I might to be unintrusive, though, I felt that I was intruding with every step and click of the shutter.” The Worthy Woman in the 21st Century?: “See what happens when a thoroughly modern woman starts...

Morning Hash BREAKFAST LINKS: (a compendium of semi-serious news articles) Even Big Boys Get Grounded: Felix Baumgartner’s scheduled free-fall from 23 miles was postponed again on Tuesday as winds forced postponement of his historic attempt. The winds were too high: “Gusts like today’s—which were focused at about 700 feet [213 meters], near the crest of the balloon—could possibly tear Baumgartner’s 0.0008-inch-thick (0.02-millimeter-thick) plastic balloon or overturn the stabilizing crane that prevents the pressurized capsule from ascending too soon.” The balloon...

Daily Fragments for 10/09/2012: Quotations Excellence Has Become a Dirty Word!: “I’ve said it for years: With socialism, excellence is always set aside for shared mediocrity. The idea appears to be that since it’s hard to achieve excellence for everyone, it simply should not be attempted; everyone should be satisfied with something lesser.” The Destruction of Slavery: “The destruction of slavery begins in the soul, with the resolute refusal to be a slave to anyone or anything but the God...

Harvard’s Pastor: “It Does Not Matter if Christianity is True…”

Last updated on: October 9, 2012 at 11:53 am By Timothy Dalrymple

Jonathan Walton has some giant shoes to fill. The new Pusey Minister at Harvard’s Memorial Church, and the Plummer Professor of Christian Morals in the Faculty of Arts and Sciences, he is stepping into the dual role formerly occupied by the dearly departed Peter Gomes. At Harvard, Gomes was a veritable institution unto himself. The recipient of 39 honorary degrees, one of America’s most renowned preachers and successful preacher-writers, and a brilliant and idiosyncratic African American intellectual, Gomes spoke with...

Daily Fragments for 10/08/2012: Quotation How to Win Against Hate Speech “…the strongest weapon against hateful speech is not repression, it is more speech.” Every Day With Jesus – “Let’s come straight out and say it.
