weary?

Are editors and critics getting weary of the fifty years of liberal vs. conservative positioning? Joseph Bottum is. In fact, as an editor of First Things, he thinks the conversation is over.

This pastor wonders if his church likes him.

Alison Stein Wellner is trying to dispell a mobility myth. Do we move? Maybe not.

Finally, I recall a liturgy text in seminary...Gordon Lathrop's book perhaps?...that suggested that we all understand liturgy. Has anyone ever heard of the legendary football games between Ohio State and Michigan? Well, it seems that Lathrop is not the only one who equates sports and religion.

That comment about the Michigan/Ohio State game is from "The Art of Public Prayer: Not for Clergy Only" by Lawerence Hoffman. Trust me. Its highlighted and starred and everything in my book :)

Heh.

I was not sure. I thought it might be Lathrop, but he is the juxtaposition man. Thanks for clearing up the mystery.
