Teaching Ethics in Appalachia |
I’m
seeing more and more pieces about individuals and groups who are not
just complaining about our divided land, but trying to do something
about it.
“Here” means Appalachian State University. And the story that follows is a good one. HT to BG.
Two Cheers for the Tried and True
This
wouldn’t be the Galli Report, however, if I didn’t complain—or point to
complaints—about something! And if I didn’t draw sometimes from unusual
sources, like the socialist magazine Jacobin. HT to TO for this piece: “Against Innovation”:
The Early Bird Does Catch the Worm
Now for something constructive: “An unconventional and compassionate guide to becoming an early bird.”
I’ve been trying to become such my whole life, and it has not been a
huge success. Take my wife: no matter what time she goes to bed, she’s
up at 5:00 a.m. This is a major source of envy for me. Thus my
attraction to this piece:
How to Manage Secularism
Every
day in every way there is reason to be concerned about the declining
influence of religion, especially Christianity, in America. I won’t bore
you with more details, but I will point you to a time when the church
was seriously marginalized and really persecuted. And how it not merely adapted but “Thrived Amid Secularism.”
Worlds within Worlds
A few weeks ago, I shared a video of our solar system to scale. If you missed it, well, it’s big. This week, take a look at the “quantum world.” It’s small. Really small.
Grace and peace,
