Coming Soon

Some new material I’m kicking around that will be up here next week:

-The End of Values Voting: please, let freedom and liberty be the values that inform your voting.  Yes, questions like “freedom for who? liberty from what? ” mean that we’ll need to employ other values to get to political decisions, but can we stop voting for people because they seem like they share our social values in broader strokes?  I also happen to think that Mark Sanford’s press conference was one of the more apolitical political affairs I’ve ever seen.  

-Churches in the Green, pt. 3: this will be about art as spiritual fellowship/mystic experience/grounding for common life

-Quaker meeting:  I think I’m going to a Quaker meeting this week.  If I do, I’ll probably write about it here.  That’s not the point of going, though.  

Also, I’ll have an interview with our friend Nathan Key here soon.  We’re interviewing each other for our respective blogs, something I’m really looking forward to.

    What social values are you thinking of that do not pertain to liberty or freedom?

    for example, does this or that politician have a “good marriage”? Does he “go to church” or “belong to the Rotary Club” or “believe in God”? etc.
