An Affair to Remember in Words Soon Forgotten
An entire year of planning goes into the brief, televised announcement. A network of hundreds of experts vet every point. Presentation is everything.

Social Justice and the Cross: A False Dichotomy
Something’s rotten in the state of Christendom. In the third century, Cyprian was bishop of Carthage. The church had recently survived the Decian persecutions and Cyprian controversially urged his congregants to welcome back into the body of Christ those who had denied their faith under duress. ...

What Decided Perry v. Schwarzenegger
Everyone’s talking about the wrong thing. The Prop 8 trial Perry v. Schwarzenegger recently concluded in a flurry of punditry that had little if anything to do with the case. While most media personalities spent their time aimlessly speculating or just provoking controversy, anyone who wants to...

The Hobgoblin of Little Ideologies

All Roads Lead to the Domestic Goddess
My mother-in-law’s first gift to us as an engaged couple was a culinary torch. Talk about intimidating! It may as well have been a ratcheting box wrench; I had no idea people used torches in the kitchen. My grandmother was a model and showgirl. When my mom left home, she didn’t even know...

A Rush to the Middle… Class
It’s the speech the White House Communications Office spends a year writing, and the news media spends a couple days dissecting. It was important enough that the Framers mandated that the president “shall, from time to time, give to the Congress information of the state of the union, and recommend...
