This morning in the Daily News, they ran an extended front page story on the Moscow “culture skirmishes,” an article that I thought was really even-handed. That said, there is one detail that I need to correct from the article, which is really only a detail. The article said of me that he “is pretty …
And My Son Weighed In
Visionaries, Finally! Someone understands! Of course, it is my son who understands, one who knows my quirks, like believing in right and wrong, not in mostly right and kinda wrong, but nevertheless I am encouraged to persevere. Cordially, Douglas Wilson At 10:58 PM 8/19/2003 Nate wrote: In my years on this mortal coil, there is …
The Ethics of Being Screwed Up
Visionaries, No, Jon has not quite gotten it yet. The point is not that since lots of people are screwed up, it is okay to be screwed up. The point is that if there is no such thing as being screwed up, it is okay to be screwed up. If there are no absolutes, then …
A Resurgent Temperance Union
As you may have gathered, I am having a hard time getting over the attempt on the part of the Intoleristas to ban our children from participation in the Lord’s Supper. I laughed when I first heard it, and it has been one of my happy thoughts ever since. I don’t know what is going …
Brief Notes on Anonymity
A few days ago, I posted a response to an anonymous letter that was circulating, in which letter I was accused of Sordid Stuff. In the days since, I have had interaction with three Christian men who were not clear in their minds on why such letters should be immediately walked over to the shredder. …
A Tire Iron From Western Auto
Mike Hayes has put together a documentary on The Controversy in these here parts, a documentary entitled Our Town. Due to be shown publicly next week, he extended the courtesy of letting me review it (the same as he did for the others who were interviewed for the project). Not a partisan in the fracas, …
Look Who’s Fencing the Table Now
I still can’t get over the fact that our Intolerista friends are seriously trying to ban hundreds of our young people from taking communion during one of our worship services. The best thing I can figure out is that they have hired Howard Dean as a PR consultant. In our worship services we practice weekly …
Thinly Disguised Wowserism
The other day I noted that there have been a total of nine attempts to manipulate various tax-supported entities in order to harass us and our ministries. Now make that ten. Rose Huskey and Saundra have recently (June 10) sent a letter to folks at the UI trying to cause problems for our upcoming Trinity …
One More Round
This morning in the Daily News, Rose Huskey and Saundra Lund offered an op-ed piece on Moscow’s culture wars to the public. I assume that I will have an opportunity to respond in the paper, but since this is a good example of what we are dealing with, I thought a quick response here would …
The Ultimate High Ground
This morning I received a copy of a six-page open letter to me, as well as to the members of Christ Church. It was entitled “A Labor of Love for Pastor Douglas Wilson and Church Church.” The letter was, of course, anonymous. The central point of the letter was that the Word of God demands …
