What's the Bible Got to do with Board Games? You would know if you've been hearing the sermons at the Grace United Methodist Church lately.
Board games are also a popular activity to attract young people to church functions. Like here. And here. And here. And just about everywhere.
On a different topic, but still speaking of religion, the New York Times as an excellent long read on the intersection of politics and religion.
LifeLearning, a resource for homeschooling, has discovered some introductory Euros and is looking for more suggestions.
Rachel is leaving for Toronto this week; she and I will be visiting each other a few times over the next nine to ten months. Sigh. I'll be in Toronto Nov 1 until the Tuesday before BGG.con.
Kids are starting school. Life goes on.

I saw the Mark Lilla piece the other week; much more intelligent than most commentary on the subject. He actually takes the time to consider the dynamics of Islamic culture which is a pleasant change from presupposing "religion is evil" and not getting any further. :D
Why he felt it necessary to title his book "The Stillborn God" though is a mystery... do the publishers believe that only atheist-themed book titles will sell these days? *shrugs*
I would have thought this book would have benefited from a positive title that could sell it to all parties, but I guess one cannot have everything.
Best wishes!
Thanks for the comment, Chris.
The Stillborn God is a pretty cool name, I guess. Academic research is always atheistic, while popular self-help style books are the opposite. It depends on the audience.
