Good morning to you!
\n\"good-morning.jpg\"<\/a>
\nKudos to Kris this week — she suggested the posts “Jesus Creed does Politics” and the “To Scot from Scot” post. What a fun week it was!
\nChicago at night.

\nAn interview with Fred Peatross and New Wineskins<\/a>.
\nMy interview on Mary at Elmbrook with Mel Lawrenz<\/a>.
\nStanley Fish’s false dichotomy<\/a>: is it integrity or craft? (Or a leader with integrity who has the craft?)
\nGood story in sports<\/a>.
\nEducation today<\/a> … made me think plenty. (HT: JM)
\nDid you hear this<\/a>? (HT: Mel Lawrenz)
\nAnother good item pointed out to us this week: What the church neglects, society provides<\/a>. (HT: IG)
\nDavid Fitch and I had a dustup yesterday on WMBI<\/a> about Willow Creek, David’s well-known concern about seeker-models as consumerist, and the REVEAL study of Greg Hawkins and Cally Parkinson. David and I agree about much more than we disagree.

\n1. Good interview with Philip Pullman<\/a>, author of “The Golden Compass.”
\n2. Good book review<\/a> by Patrick Allitt of Gary Wills’ new book, Head and Heart<\/a>\"\", in the history of American faith.
\n3. It’s not “new” news, but just in case you didn’t see the offiical documents<\/a> and press releases about the San Joaquin Episcopal diocese splitting from the American Episcopal Church and forming an alliance with fellow believes in South America.
\n4. It’s all in the mind<\/a>.
\n5. Here’s a pastor who sees it and gets it<\/a>.
\n6. Reasonable piece about Obama<\/a> and a strong piece about Giuliani<\/a>. And CT had a good report about Hillary and her faith<\/a>. And Huckabee <\/a>too.
\n7. Good report about teachers<\/a>.
\n8. Mark Roberts <\/a>is a peacemaking scholar who is grounded both in the church and academy, and this new post on the New Perspective is good.
\n9. Are you a locavore<\/a>?
\n10. How do you open those packages<\/a>?
\nSports:
\nHere it is: 100 years of losing<\/a>!
\nBut it’s now over: Fukodome <\/a>is the answer.
\nWrigley, home of the 2008 World Series Champion, the Chicago Cubs…

\nThe season has begun for this guy:
