…they’re not starving when they get home. Talk to your children about the upcoming year. Listen to how they are feeling. Are they excited about the new school year? Are they nervous about a new teacher or friends in their class? If so, visit school during an Open House night, or if there is not a scheduled visiting time, ask the school or teacher when it would be convenient to stop by.

Advent: Waiting for Hope

…ell as fully as possible the inner and outer events of our lives. It is to enter our lives with open eyes, ears, and hands so that we really know what is happening. Patience is an extremely difficult discipline precisely because it counteracts our unreflective impulse to flee or to fight.

Writing to audiences in colleges and churches living in a fractured world, Robinson is—I think—encouraging them to not give up on theology and the humanities as irrelevant to the world.

…r American politics, and for certain segments of the American church. Some commenters have felt confident to call the church’s reaction to the general election a “schism” in the religious right—quite strong language. The candidacy of Donald Trump has been inordinately mystifying for many of us, Christians included, but “schism” is far too vague a diagnosis in attempting to capture the state of this discourse, just as “religious right” is a rather…
