  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

Wednesdays are always my busiest days, when it comes to life at my computer keyboard.

First of all, there is my “On Religion” column deadline. That’s been carved into my calendar for almost 36 years. This is also the day when I work with the Lutheran Public Radio team to research and produce the weekly “Crossroads” podcast. We’ve been doing that for over a decade.

Right now, you can toss in lots of packing for our move from Oak Ridge up to the Tri-Cities region in the mountains of Northeast Tennessee. Late last week, I reached for a book (during an online interview with Jonathan “The Anxious Generation” Haidt) and realized that I had already packed that shelf and the boxes were sitting in my future office nearly 150 miles away. Then, dang it, the same thing happened with a different book during some email chatter with a Nashville media pro a day later.

Yes, things are extra busy in my neck of the woods. Thus, please allow me to offer a rather quick Rational Sheep post today, a natural follow-up to my recent post that ran with this double-decker headline:

Should men of the cloth hang out ...

I would love to see the religious women wear the habit again. It's a shame so many communities got rid of it. :(
