Stephanie Paulsell on the community worship life at Harvard Divinity School: "When I first came to Harvard, the weekly
worship service was recognizably Protestant but flexible and welcoming. Over the years, our students have urged us toward
new ways of gathering." - David Heim on Rick Santorum and subsidiarity: "The subsidiarity
principle is far from a slam-dunk argument against state intervention in
schools, corporations or families. It is, instead, an argument for appropriate
state intervention. So what's appropriate? - Cynthia Weems's lectionary column for Sunday, January 22: "We read the gospel stories describing the call of the disciples and
