While the book sounds smarter than me, I'm so grateful for a colleague that cares about peace-making in our fractured time. global.oup.com/academic/prod…

Adina is a Baylor PhD, and she and Sam went to our church here in Waco before moving to MN so she could take a job at her alma mater. Even if they weren't wonderful people, which they are, they would deserve any small thing we can do for them right now.
My family and I are facing a tough season. Please consider sharing 💜 gofund.me/306c6d17

Adina and I were part of the same cohort of history PhD students at Baylor. She was an incredible colleague and friend to everyone in the program, always full of encouragement and support.
Please read and consider supporting her and her family at this time if you're able

Only one minister told Richard Nixon he should confess to the cover-up of Watergate. Fifty years later, I tracked him down for @CTmagazine to ask him why.

"All that was Beauty, all that was Love, all that was Truth, stood on top of these mad mornings and sang with the stars. A great human sob shrieked in the wind, and tossed its tears upon the sea, - free, free, free."

A state in India has passed a bill banning healing, praying for the sick, or any other "non-scientific" responses to illness.
Local officials have said outright that it's an effort to curb evangelism.

In 2020-21, Baylor pledged to tell a more complete story of our history by reckoning with our early leaders' slaveholding past.
Today, we ceremonially broke ground on a "Memorial to Enslaved Persons" that will recognize those who built our original campus in Independence.
