Two Steps Back, and Proof Texts Too
Byhenry December 11, 2008
Via Aristotle’s Feminist Subject, I found the story of the “True Woman” movement. See their manifesto as well. Earlier today, John Hobbins was calling for “respectful dialogue” as the “need of the hour.” I like John Hobbins, and he displays great wisdom. Respectful dialogue is both needed and rarely to be had. Unfortunately, with respect…

Ezekiel and the Bones
Byhenry March 19, 2020
The lectionary readings called my attention to Ezekiel 37:1-14. I love the story, not to mention the song. So how about the song? There’s a specific point I want to call attention to.

Quote of the Day 1-19-09
Byhenry January 19, 2009
