• Leonardo Boff – How to Avoid the World’s End

  Boff has been an advocate for ecological sustainability for quite sometime. Here, juxtaposing our present actions with the cycles of apostasy found in the Hebrew bible, he calls on us to learn from those on the periphery (e.g. Evo Morales) and to change our course. Good piece.

• Phyllis Tickle – Redefining “church” and “Church” – Emergent Village Weblog

• Chris Hedges – The Best and the Brightest Led America Off a Cliff

  Excellent column on the failure of American education, especially among the “Ivy League” schools. Rather than teaching students how to think, these institutions have taught them how to maintain the status quo. One of Chris Hedges best pieces.
