Things Glen Found Interesting<\/h3>\n
    \n
  1. The new year is upon us. Con\u00adsid\u00ader read\u00ading through the entire Bible in 2017 (doing so will take around 10 min\u00adutes a day). Here\u2019s a thor\u00adough and help\u00adful arti\u00adcle from last year about <\/span>read\u00ading the whole Bible<\/a>. If you want an app to make it eas\u00adi\u00ader, take a look at readscripture.org<\/a> <\/span><\/li>\n
  2. Vari\u00adeties of Reli\u00adgious Expe\u00adri\u00adence<\/a> (Ross Douthat, NY Times): \u201cOne of my hob\u00adbies is col\u00adlect\u00ading what you might call non\u00adcon\u00adver\u00adsion sto\u00adries \u2014 sto\u00adries about sec\u00adu\u00adlar mod\u00aderns who have super\u00adnat\u00adur\u00adal-seem\u00ading expe\u00adri\u00adences with\u00adout being pro\u00adpelled into any spe\u00adcif\u00adic reli\u00adgious faith.\u201d<\/li>\n
  3. Mark Zucker\u00adberg says he\u2019s no longer an athe\u00adist, believes \u2018reli\u00adgion is very impor\u00adtant\u2019<\/a> (Julie Zauzmer, Wash\u00ading\u00adton Post): Some\u00adwhat relat\u00aded to the above. Also, if you hap\u00adpen to bump into him or his wife then please let them know they are wel\u00adcome at Chi Alpha. \ud83d\ude42<\/li>\n
  4. The Evan\u00adgel\u00adi\u00adcal Scion Who Stopped Believ\u00ading<\/a> (Mark Oppen\u00adheimer, NY Times): \u201cAthe\u00adists and agnos\u00adtics have long tried to rebot\u00adtle reli\u00adgion: to get the com\u00admu\u00adni\u00adty and the good works with\u00adout the super\u00adnat\u00adur\u00adal stuff. It has worked about as well as non\u00adal\u00adco\u00adholic beer. As with O\u2019Doul\u2019s, con\u00adverts are few, and rarely do they end up hav\u00ading a very good time.\u201d Inter\u00adest\u00ading arti\u00adcle, although Oppen\u00adheimer mis\u00adreads some back\u00adground details (in par\u00adtic\u00adu\u00adlar, I think he was unfair to Stet\u00adzer\u2019s com\u00adment<\/a>).<\/li>\n
  5. In Praise of Igno\u00adrance<\/a> (Simon Cullen, Quil\u00adlette): \u201cThose with the audac\u00adi\u00adty to admit that they have noth\u00ading intel\u00adli\u00adgent to say about a dif\u00adfi\u00adcult top\u00adic should be praised for refus\u00ading to fur\u00adther erode our com\u00admon epis\u00adtemic stan\u00addards, not scorned for fail\u00ading to toe some par\u00adty line.\u201d<\/li>\n
  6. Cam\u00adpus Iden\u00adti\u00adty Pol\u00adi\u00adtics Is Doom\u00ading Lib\u00ader\u00adal Caus\u00ades, a Pro\u00adfes\u00adsor Charges<\/a> (Evan R. Gold\u00adstein, Chron\u00adi\u00adcle of High\u00ader Edu\u00adca\u00adtion): an inter\u00adview with Columbia\u2019s Mark Lil\u00adla \u2014 \u201ciden\u00adti\u00adty pol\u00adi\u00adtics today isn\u2019t about group belong\u00ading; it\u2019s about per\u00adson\u00adal iden\u00adti\u00adty. From the \u201970s into the \u201990s, there was a shift in focus from group iden\u00adti\u00adty to the self as the inter\u00adsec\u00adtion of dif\u00adfer\u00adent kinds of iden\u00adti\u00adties\u2026. It\u2019s extra\u00ador\u00addi\u00adnary how much time and think\u00ading [stu\u00addents] devote to exact\u00adly what they are as the subto\u00adtal of oth\u00ader iden\u00adti\u00adties, rather than see\u00ading their time at the uni\u00adver\u00adsi\u00adty as an oppor\u00adtu\u00adni\u00adty to leave those things behind, or over\u00adcome them, or become some\u00adthing that\u2019s actu\u00adal\u00adly them\u00adselves and autonomous in some way.\u201d This is sort of a sequel to an arti\u00adcle I shared back in vol\u00adume 77<\/a>.<\/li>\n
  7. Hous\u00ades of Wor\u00adship Poised to Serve as Trump-Era Immi\u00adgrant Sanc\u00adtu\u00adar\u00adies<\/a> (Lau\u00adrie Good\u00adstein, NY TImes): \u201cChurch\u00ades, schools and hos\u00adpi\u00adtals are con\u00adsid\u00adered \u2018sen\u00adsi\u00adtive loca\u00adtions,\u2019 accord\u00ading to Immi\u00adgra\u00adtion and Cus\u00adtoms Enforce\u00adment. Immi\u00adgra\u00adtion offi\u00adcers are sup\u00adposed to avoid those loca\u00adtions, unless they have advance approval from a super\u00advi\u00adsor or face \u2018exi\u00adgent cir\u00adcum\u00adstances\u2019 that require imme\u00addi\u00adate action, said Jen\u00adnifer Elzea, an agency spokes\u00adwoman.\u201d<\/li>\n
  8. Here\u2019s Who Will Pray at Trump\u2019s Inau\u00adgu\u00adra\u00adtion<\/a> (Kate Shell\u00adnut, Chris\u00adtian\u00adi\u00adty Today): it\u2019s not obvi\u00adous from the arti\u00adcle, but a sur\u00adpris\u00ading num\u00adber of them are Pen\u00adte\u00adcostal of one sort or anoth\u00ader: Wayne Jack\u00adson, Paula White, Sam\u00admy Rodriguez.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
