Some thoughts in a at home billing ecent keynote given by Rev. Nathan Wilson: Thank you for inviting me to join this dialogue about cutting edge issues for religious leaders. First, a brief housekeeping matter. To have honest interfaith dialogue, each participant needs to identify the faith or ideological perspective from which he or she speaks. I speak as a Christian, ordained in the Christian Church (Disciples of Christ), theologically ecumenical, evangelical and progressive, engaged in interfaith dialogue and practice, in love with learning, and committed in action to issues of peace, justice and equality. My hope and prayer is that the words I say will resonate even with those who do not share my language and loyalties. As some of you know, I frequently talk about three characteristics that communities of faith should embody: true community, deep spirituality and a passion for justice. Now I know that this dialogue is about university ministry, but these three characteristics have become my mantra, and, more importantly, they add to this conversation – so allow me to briefly recap them. Communities of faith must be about forming and exhibiting true community; that is, we must be about providing opportunities to discuss, deliberate and debate, to explore, engage and empower, to hope, heal and even ask for help – and these opportunities must be in safe spaces where participants are both candid and considerate.

Alone! On a Saturday! Oh my god! So I am pre-shower, sitting in direct mail services ront of a computer that is blaring Fountains of Wayne with all its little heart, feeling good about the day. Thinking about how nice it would be if there was some kind of revelatory popular way to spread the "shocking" news that Iraq and 9/11 were not related, in the least. I'm imagining huge headlines, "NO CONNECTION! Population of Swing States SHOCKED at What We've Done" Today I'm going to spend some quality time with Ada. I just keep thinking, if I can just write my way through it, then, oh then, yes then...

Sorry for my tardy arrival at the discussion — I’ve been in the land of flow charts. But I’ve been looking telnet freeware orward to talking about this excellent & striking novel, which is one of my favorites to come over the transom this year. This may be one of those comparisons that’s more misleading than it is illuminating but as I’ve been thinking about Napoleon in Rags my mind keeps flashing on the bar scene in Ulysses . There’s some facile surface connections: Gann eschews quote marks throughout the book, a technique richly abused in writing workshops across the country when it’s inserted for no good reason except to look arty but works here, as it serves to embed the speech into the narrative to create a flow of community voice — and I agree with you , Gwenda, the novel is a tightly structured portrait of a mise-en-scene, not as the flap suggests, the story of a single “Napoleon.” And there’s the, uh, bar settings in common, of course. But beyond this, my dear G., I guess I was thinking of the diction of the novel, which you aptly describe as “ornately straightforward” and which is one of the most intriguing parts of the book. It seems to me that Gann is interested, like Joyce, in locating the mythic-poetic in everyday life, of finding the grandeur in dilapidation — cue the name of “that sumptuous dive,” the Don Quixote, etc. — and language is part of how he arrives at it. With the city of Montreux, Gann is working a “funhouse” Louisville, not Dublin.

… We had a bird flu pandemic? I was thinking this would be (from a financial standpoint) a life insurance and perhaps health insurance catastrophe as death claims and medical claims would be quite high. What if your recently sick or deceased loved one didn’t have life insurance or medical insurance? What other potential payer exists? Insurers are already worried about workers compensation as being a source of claims. I am not a workers comp expert, but it would seem to me that one would have to obtain the disease within the scope of one’s employment. However, it is a work place injury the workers comp plans baby shower thank you cards ere designed to protect against? Mr. Ulrich [ a modeler at Risk Management Solutions] said in an interview today that with 40 million workers hit by the flu, “some people are going to file claims,” and just as Hurricane Katrina produced an avalanche of litigation, a flu outbreak would likely have the same outcome because “people will look for deep pockets.” In addition, he said, some occupations, such as teachers and health care workers, may have a case to argue that they should have comp coverage for injuries resulting from workplace exposure. Even if claims are not upheld, it could result in significant legal defense costs for insurers, said Mr. Ulrich. Wouldn’t it be smart to get a deal on the scope of workers compensation coverage up front where it could be priced and managed rather than on an ex post basis? via The National Underwriter
