In the time of King David, the Bible says that the tribe of Issachar pro\u00adduced shrewd war\u00adriors \u201cwho under\u00adstood the times and knew what Israel should do\u201d<\/i> (1 Chron 12:32). In a sim\u00adi\u00adlar way, we need to become wise peo\u00adple whose faith inter\u00adacts with the world.<\/p>\n

To that end, I share articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal and soci\u00adetal issues (be sure to see the dis\u00adclaimer at the bot\u00adtom). May these give you greater insight, so that you may con\u00adtin\u00adue the tra\u00addi\u00adtion of Issachar.<\/p>\n

  1. From the Charleston depart\u00adment:\n
      \n
    1. Why A Black Church?<\/a> (Emma Green, The Atlantic): the last para\u00adgraph was like a punch in the gut.<\/li>\n
    2. In this mov\u00ading Youtube clip, rep\u00adre\u00adsen\u00adta\u00adtives from the fam\u00adi\u00adlies of the vic\u00adtims for\u00adgive the shoot\u00ader in court and call upon him to repent<\/a>. It sounds as though sev\u00ader\u00adal of them were actu\u00adal\u00adly there when the shoot\u00ading hap\u00adpened and inter\u00adact\u00aded with the shoot\u00ader in the hour before\u00adhand.<\/li>\n
    3. The Charleston Shoot\u00ading is the Largest Mass Shoot\u00ading in a House of Wor\u00adship Since 1991<\/a> (Sarah Pul\u00adliam Bai\u00adley, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): this is an infor\u00adma\u00adtive overview of the his\u00adto\u00adry of mass vio\u00adlence at reli\u00adgious orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtions in the US. I noticed one typo in the arti\u00adcle \u2014 it refers to 176 deaths when I am pret\u00adty sure it should have referred to 176 vio\u00adlent inci\u00addents lead\u00ading to 74 deaths in 2014.<\/li>\n
    4. Black Amer\u00adi\u00adcans Are Killed at 12 Times the Rate of Peo\u00adple in Oth\u00ader Devel\u00adoped Coun\u00adtries<\/a> (Nate Sil\u00adver, FiveThir\u00adtyEight): this is prob\u00ada\u00adbly the most depress\u00ading thing I read on a day of read\u00ading depress\u00ading things.<\/li>\n
    5. The sto\u00adry of the lady who bust\u00aded the shoot\u00ader<\/a> is a more encour\u00adag\u00ading one. \u201cIt was God\u2019s way of putting her in the right place at the right time, the Gas\u00adto\u00adnia woman said.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<\/li>\n
    6. From the clar\u00adi\u00adty is impor\u00adtant depart\u00adment: Is Mor\u00admonism Chris\u00adt\u00adian?<\/a> (Roger Olson, blog): Olson, a the\u00adolo\u00adgian, gives a very thor\u00adough and help\u00adful answer to the ques\u00adtion. It\u2019s real\u00adly long, so if you just want the sum\u00adma\u00adry jump to the last para\u00adgraph.<\/li>\n
    7. From the mis\u00adun\u00adder\u00adstood research depart\u00adment: The Real Les\u00adson of the Stan\u00adford Prison Exper\u00adi\u00adment<\/a> (Maria Kon\u00adniko\u00adva, New York\u00ader): inter\u00adest\u00ading for sev\u00ader\u00adal rea\u00adsons, among them the fact that we walk past the site of the exper\u00adi\u00adments reg\u00adu\u00adlar\u00adly.<\/li>\n
    8. From the sin is per\u00adva\u00adsive depart\u00adment: All Your Clothes Are Made With Exploit\u00aded Labor<\/a> (Gillian B. White, The Atlantic): even the most con\u00adsci\u00aden\u00adtious com\u00adpa\u00adnies are unable to keep their prod\u00aducts oppres\u00adsion-free.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Chi Alpha is not a par\u00adti\u00adsan orga\u00adni\u00adza\u00adtion. To para\u00adphrase anoth\u00ader min\u00adis\u00adter: we are not about the donkey\u2019s agen\u00adda and we are not about the elephant\u2019s agen\u00adda \u2014 we are about the Lamb\u2019s agen\u00adda. Hav\u00ading said that, I read wide\u00adly (in part because I believe we should aspire to pass the ide\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal Tur\u00ading test<\/a> and in part because I do not believe I can fair\u00adly say \u201cI agree\u201d or \u201cI dis\u00adagree\u201d until I can say \u201cI under\u00adstand\u201d) and may at times share arti\u00adcles that have a strong par\u00adti\u00adsan bias sim\u00adply because I find the arti\u00adcle stim\u00adu\u00adlat\u00ading. The upshot: you should not assume I agree with every\u00adthing an author says in an arti\u00adcle I men\u00adtion, much less things the author has said in oth\u00ader arti\u00adcles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
