Canine door into the real Islamabad

When you are dealing with a really talented report, one who really knows how to listen and tell the stories of real people, religion can show up in the most unusual and touching places. Veteran Washington Post foreign correspondent Pamela Constable is one of the best and, clearly, she gets religion — in a wide variety of cultures. She has even written a book on that, “ Fragments of Grace : My Search for Meaning in the Strife of South Asia.” I should be honest and admit that Constable has spoken to my students before on Capital Hill, when stateside, and I sure hope that she can do that again.

Why I’m opposed to legalising assisted suicide

When I die, and if I have to arrange it myself, I will consult nobody, and do it unassisted if I can. I entertain not a flicker of moral or practical doubt on the subject, and never have.

Bike Calamity ’09, Annotated & Illustrated

Thanks to the slightly creepy magic of Google Street View , the Fireshot add-on to Firefox, and my middling graphic editing skillz, I have managed to cobble together an annotated visual of last Thursday’s bike calamity .

Doctrine of Christian Discovery

John Turner Laboring under the misapprehension that political bodies listen to the opinions of mainline Protestant denominations (we didn’t even have a label for mainline Protestantism on this blog), the Episocopal Church recently repudiated the centuries-old belief that God gave Christian Europeans the right to wrest land away from benighted natives. A friend forwarded me an article from Indian Country Today celebrating the resolution, which calls for the overturning of an 1823 Supreme Court decision (Johnson v

David “Ogi” Overman with the Bill White story

article courtesy of Ogi Overman at The Jamestown News : Nine added to ranks of Bill White Scholars By Ogi Overman When Bill White died in 1980, his obituary in the Greensboro News & Record mentioned that a scholarship fund in his name was being started and asked for donations. From that one solicitation came enough funds to endow the scholarship, and the following year the first William J. White Scholarship was awarded to Bobby Dawson

Shake your groove thing … in church?

If you thought R&B artist Chris Brown’s career would be hurt by viciously beating his girlfriend Rihanna and threatening to kill her, you would be wrong. His song “Forever” is one of the top 10 iTune downloads after being featured in the YouTube video that’s taking the world by storm. Now, when I think of everlasting love and romance, I can’t say I think of Chris Brown
