OF INTEREST

At Church:
Discussions are under way at Church regarding the Jesus of history and the Jesus of faith… discussion groups.
Proposed subjects…current issues in the Anglican/Episcopal Church; Holy Communion – what really happens; and making the Church relevant in the modern world.
Stuff like that.

TV:
Outstanding TV shows we set the DVR for: Person of Interest; Bluebloods; Gifted Man; and Masterpiece Theatre [Downtan Abbey].
As possibly noted before, our new TV is proving to be very seductive.

BOOKS:
The John Ford book not quite done…but we did succeed in having an excellent Irish band play some of the music from the Cavalry Trilogy whilst at a superb pub last Saturday night.
Huston Smith’s Why Religion Matters and World Religions are being reread. Really important books for folks with minds.

We are trying to establish that we have minds.

CURRENT AFFAIRS
We at The Study view diplomatic developments in Iraq; Afghanistan; Pakistan; Israel; and iran with concern.
It appears to us that b.o. is not up to the task of running a superpower’s diplomacy with the aplomb and intelligence which are required.

Let the voters beware….
We are of the opinion that the arena of international relations is a jungle.
Those not able to play the game will be consumed by that jungle.

We want the US to be a consumer, not a consumed.
