Speaking for myself, yes.

Awkward small talk when I ask him what he’s published recently…

There will be a lot of FOMO here this weekend for sure.

I emailed AAR leadership (staff) about this and learned the overall numbers are not down. I’m glad on the one hand, since I’m staying away from US but not AAR per se. But I’m surprised because I know a lot of Canadians aren’t going. I encouraged AAR to acknowledge that many are staying away.

I highly recommend the One Year: 1986 podcast. Their episode on Challenger was eye opening. ( All of their seasons are great.).

Yes definitely. Though the hope and expectation is that, in general, anything that would have been published by MQR will be published by this new journal.

I was late to Twitter but I appreciated some actual intellectual engagement during pandemic. I never had a blog myself but I read a lot of them when they were the thing. I’m not doing much on here in term of my own contributions, but I share your question.

In the 1969 Hymnal, there is a note of explanation linking creeds and hymns as two ways of communally affirming the essentials of the faith.

Thanks!

I made it!

Always interested to read a reading of this apology, or any other one…

What is the book/author?

I heard a podcast episode about this history and book and so I knew the basic story but the telling was very compelling. Lots of twists and turns.

"The Wager: A Tale of Shipwreck, Mutiny, and Murder," by David Grann. Riveting.
