The Chicks just returned from a lecture by Cardinal Walter Kasper- a friend of Joseph Ratzinger, an accomplished theologian, and a man dedicated to ecumenical dialogue with non-Catholics worldwide. His talk entitled “The Timeliness of Speaking of God” was brilliant, I think. I say that because, quite frankly, Chick A and I admitted to only [...]

I’m a native Atlantan living in the city of Atlanta. I know - there aren’t many of us left. Because the city has grown exponentially in the last few decades, I really can’t afford to venture too far out of my zip code if I want to have any chance of staying out of [...]
