Monday, August 29, 2016Operating Engineers Local 49. He was an exceptional crane operator and spent many years operating tower cranes on projects in and around Minneapolis/ Saint Paul, MN.Upon retirement, Herman and Ann Marie moved to Mountain Home, AR for the fair weather and excellent fishing.

Monday, August 29, 2016Bibles they were unequipped to understand. Sola scriptura, plus the idea that anyone could be filled with the Holy Spirit, inspired every radical reformer to become his own Saint Paul—and then demand that his neighbors put down their nets and follow him.”The consequence of this was the fragmentation of belief into factions, and then eventually to conflict and wars, and the need to find a way of living together led to liberalism as the response to this state of affairs. “But the price was high: it required the institutionalization of toleration as the highest moral virtue. The nineteenth-century Catholic Church rejected this whole package and withdrew within its walls, where intellectual life declined and dogma ossified. It thus left the rest of us to sink ever deeper into the confusing, unsatisfying, hyper-pluralistic, consumer-driven, dogmatically relativistic world of today.” Here, Gregory offers an explanation for why Catholicism has ceased to be a driving intellectual force in society. Instead it has been reduced (reduced itself, really) to issuing grudging papal concessions in response to changing social norms rather than offering credible social and intellectual ideas and alternatives as it once did.Gregory, and other scholars and not-so-scholars, have developed other myths and stories to explain the perceived declines which so consume them. “Why,” asks Lilla, “do people still feel the need for such myths? For the same reason people always have. We want the comfort, however cold, of thinking that we understand the present, while at the same time escaping full responsibility for the future.”Is this what Trump supporters believe? Do they draw comfort from Trump’s narrative of American decline, believing that it helps them understand the woes they feel in the present? Do they evade taking responsibility for the future, thinking that by voting for Trump they’ve done their part to make America great?While voting for Trump is certainly a political act, the overall performative dimension of being a Trump supporter is evocative of what Lilla dismisses as ‘literary experiences’: the tantalizing, romanti...
Monday, August 22, 2016That’s the message that was driven home by the National Funeral Directors & Morticians Association during a “Stop the Violence” rally last Sunday at Saint Paul’s Baptist Church in Henrico’s East End.The rally, which drew about 200 people, was among several events during the 1,200-member association’s recent 79th annual convention in Richmond.Conference organizers said they have seen far too many young people die because of violence.“We’ve had enough,” said Carol T. Williams, executive director of the association. “We’ve had enough of watching families come into our funeral homes to deal with violent death. We have to bring attention and find a solution to this epidemic. Enough is enough.”Speakers and panelists offered solutions for ending the tragedies.The solution starts at home, according to some attendees. Svondai Brown, who lost a teenage godson to gun violence, and Christina Gill, an Atlanta attorney, encouraged parents to take active leadership roles in their households.“Be the influence for your children, instead of other young people influencing them,” Ms. Brown said. “Teach the children the difference between what’s right and what’s wrong.”Ms. Gill added, “Have open communication with them so that children will not be afraid to come to their parents when they’re in trouble.”Other attendees said that finding solutions starts in the communities, with community members uniting and becoming involved in programs for young people.“Richmond needs a middle school football program,” said Maurice Tyler, founding director of Coaches Against Violence Everywhere, a program dedicated to helping youths through the influence of coaches. “Young people in Richmond are not inte...
