On Fri\u00addays I share articles\/resources I have found help\u00adful recent\u00adly in think\u00ading about broad\u00ader cul\u00adtur\u00adal, soci\u00adetal and the\u00ado\u00adlog\u00adi\u00adcal issues. Be sure to see the expla\u00adna\u00adtion and dis\u00adclaimers at the bot\u00adtom.<\/span><\/p>\n

  1. This is the research paper behind the sto\u00adry I shared in my ser\u00admon this week: <\/span>Spon\u00adta\u00adneous Human Speech Mim\u00adic\u00adry By A Cetacean<\/span><\/a> (Cur\u00adrent Biol\u00ado\u00adgy), a read\u00adable sum\u00adma\u00adry is <\/span>The Whale Who Talked<\/span><\/a> (Nature) and to hear it your\u00adself, here is <\/span>a one minute YouTube video about\u00c2 Noc.<\/span><\/a> (the video describes his voice as kazo\u00ado\u00adlike, which is apt).<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. How The Church Helps Black Men Flour\u00adish In Amer\u00adi\u00adca<\/span><\/a> (Wilcox and Wolfin\u00adger, The <\/span>Atlantic): \u00e2\u20ac\u0153The black church\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s suc\u00adcess val\u00adi\u00addates the cul\u00adtur\u00adal argu\u00adments made by con\u00adser\u00adv\u00ada\u00adtives and the struc\u00adtur\u00adal argu\u00adments made by lib\u00ader\u00adals regard\u00ading race in America.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Who Are The Gay Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcals?<\/span><\/a> (Mol\u00adly Worthen, NY Times): \u00c2 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153<\/span>In an era when gay mar\u00adriage is legal and a range of gay Chris\u00adtians are mod\u00adel\u00ading dif\u00adfer\u00adent ways to rec\u00adon\u00adcile sex\u00adu\u00adal\u00adi\u00adty and faith, are the deci\u00adsions of young believ\u00aders like Lani\u00adra Postell still a result of coer\u00adcion and con\u00adfused self-hatred? I asked her what she thought about those lib\u00ader\u00adal crit\u00adics who might think so. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcI under\u00adstand where they\u00e2\u20ac\u2122re com\u00ading from, that to them what I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m doing doesn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t make any sense,\u00e2\u20ac\u2122 she said. \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcThat\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s why being a Chris\u00adt\u00adian is not com\u00admon. It\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s weird. It is unnat\u00adur\u00adal for me to deny myself what I desire, but I do it because of the love of God.\u00e2\u20ac\u2122\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. Are You A Fem\u00adi\u00adnist If You Always Let Him Pay?<\/span><\/a> (Aman\u00adda Fitzsim\u00admons, Elle): def\u00adi\u00adnite\u00adly not writ\u00adten from a Chris\u00adt\u00adian per\u00adspec\u00adtive. I found it fas\u00adci\u00adnat\u00ading through\u00adout and insight\u00adful at points. \u00e2\u20ac\u0153\u2026of all the myr\u00adi\u00adad rea\u00adsons I\u2019ve enter\u00adtained as to why a guy did\u00adn\u2019t call me or a friend back (and, believe me, I\u2019ve not lacked for cre\u00adativ\u00adi\u00adty in this area), the fact that we did\u00adn\u2019t offer to pay the bill nev\u00ader once occurred to me.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/span><\/li>\n
