December 8, Advent 2A (Matthew 3:1–12)
Standing in the remains of the death camps in Poland
A playground bully, her victim, and their God
To avoid risk, don’t get close to God
December 1, Advent 1A (Matthew 24:36–44; Romans 13:11–14)
Saying good-bye to my congregation
The problem with specialization
Our legislators’ silence is a failure of moral courage
Pastors, friendship, and the limits of boundaries
How Sister Helen Prejean became a “social justice sister”
What moral fusion organizing can do that callout culture can’t
The man who volunteered to be imprisoned at Auschwitz
Reading the creation story in a dying world
Children’s books for tough conversations
“Self-interest seemed almost omnipotent”
When the chapel is the most open place on campus
The gift of relying on others
How I learned to love the doctrine of total depravity
