Here’s an interesting argument for engaging a video game in an “all college” course.

Yet another music video

Ok, so perhaps I’m procrastinating from today’s writing task by looking at music videos? On the theme of love, and particularly that “love is not a color,” check this one out (and note how much of 1 Cor is in it):

Year of the rat

Thinking about “God is not a white man” (the music video in my preceding post), got me to remembering this music video by Badly Drawn Boy. My gift to you today:

God is not a man

So I have to admit that this tune is catchy, and I think the video that accompanies it is well done. But watching it raises all sorts of interesting questions for me: if God is not a man, why refer to God as “he”? if God is not at least in part a man (that is, human), than how are we talk about Jesus (who, after all, is the heartbeat and unique element of Christianity)? My favorite lines are about how God loves everyone, and is not owned by anyone.

Class of 2014 mindset list

This is the first year I’ve had a child who’s actually IN the class Beloit College talks about in their mindset list. My favorite item on the list: “There have always been women priests in the Anglican Church.” (Not that any of these kids probably notices or cares…)

CMRC reflections

Unfortunately I was not able to be at the CMRC conference this year in Toronto (frankly, only the fact that I was recovering from surgery kept me away), but fortunately Tim Snyder has posted some reflections on the meeting. I’m hopeful that more people will chime in as well, and I’ll try to link to those blogs.

Reflections on white privilege

I think this mom says it beautifully and clearly: white privilege is not about feeling guilty.

Five books site

Hat tip to Kate, who sent me to the Five Books website. I think maybe I’ve visited it before, but it’s fun to rediscover it. Every day a different expert suggests five crucial books on their subject of expertise.

Krista Tippett on “being”?

So I find myself kind of sad at this news. Apparently the MPR show based here in the Cities, Speaking of Faith with Krista Tippett, is now about to become Krista Tippett on Being. Isn’t it interesting that even a word like “faith” is no longer considered “sticky” enough to grab people’s attention?
