A Quote That Grabbed Glen\u2019s Attention<\/h3>\n

\u201cI really only love God as much as I love the person I love the least\u201d \u2014 Dorothy Day<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. California Lawmaker Drops Controversial Proposal to Regulate Religious Colleges <\/span><\/a>(Sarah Zylstra, Christianity Today): this was a goofy bill and I\u2019m happily surprised it has been substantially amended. For one influential take on it, see <\/span>www.sb1146discriminates.org<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Every Place Has Detractors. Consider Where They\u2019re Coming From.<\/span><\/a> (Megan McCardle, Bloomerg View): \u201c<\/span>There is grave danger in judging a neighborhood, or a culture, by the accounts of those who chose to leave it. Those people are least likely to appreciate the good things about where they came from, and the most likely to dwell on its less attractive qualities.\u201d Bear this in mind when listening to conversion testimonies (both secular and religious).<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. In Defense Of The Gun Emoji<\/span><\/a> (John Brownlee, Fast Co Design): \u201c<\/span>They\u2019re sending a symbolic message about gun control through emoji. The problem, though, is that messing with the way that people communicate with one another isn\u2019t symbolic. It\u2019s deeply literal.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. What\u2019s Missing From The Conversation About Transgender Kids<\/a><\/span> (Jesse Singal, New York Magazine): t<\/span>his one is an important read \u2014 the pro-LGBT author is concerned with the way science is being ignored when trying to help kids who think they were born the wrong gender. I shared a related article by the same author back in volume 50<\/a>.<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. It\u2019s O.K., Liberal Parents, You Can Freak Out About Porn<\/a> (Judith Shulevitz, NY Times): \u201cLeft-leaning parents shy away from a cause they identify with right-wing culture warriors, but I challenge any parent to affirm that it\u2019s O.K. for her kids to become digital porn consumers at 11, the average age of a child\u2019s first encounter.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
