Hi John! Thanks for the great posts. I'm still ruminating over several of them and may go back and post some thoughts/questions.

Regarding me: I am David Ward and I teach physics at a Christian university in Tennessee. I've been reading John for several years now. Social science is not in my training, but if i could go back in time...

Teaching social science has got to be more ticklish than teaching science at a Christian university--don't you think so? The big bang and evolution pale in comparison to some social controversies.

Thanks again!

Thanks John! I think the recent Alaska election would invite a post or several on ranked-choice voting as a nonviolent way out of our polarization.

Great idea. I'll get Jeralynne to help since she used to teach about voting in her Math for Liberal Arts Class.

For now, I'll just point out that Sen. Tom Cotton thinks it's bad, so it is very likely an important electoral reform to enhance democracy.

Hi. I'm Rondall Reynoso. I teach art & art history at an evangelical school in TN. I have an MFA in painting, a masters in art history (both from Pratt Institute), and am in process on a Ph.D. in art and religion (Gradate Theological Union). I also publish and write at FaithonView.com. I've been loosely following your blog for years and in 2020 we started a daily newsletter that shares Christian news and commentary. Your website and now substack is one of the 200+ sites that we monitor for the newsletter.

I don't have any specific questions or suggestions. I just tend to appreciate your perspective.
