Soft pick. I thought I would have enjoyed this more than I did.

One of the greatest investigative books of all time. What a story!

“I used to think that Christian contemplation was reserved for white men who leave copies of C.S. Lewis's letters strewn about and know a great deal about coffee and beard oils. If this is you, there is room for you here. But I am interested in reclaiming a contemplation that is not exclusive to whiteness, intellectualism, ableism, or mere hobby. And as a Black woman, I am disinterested in any call to spirituality that divorces my mind from ⤵️

BarbaraJean (Cont‘d) …my body, voice, or people. To suggest a form of faith that tells me to sit down alone and be quiet? It does not rest easy on the bones. It is a shadow of true contemplative life, and it would do violence to my Black-woman soul.” 2w

I learned of this book from a podcast. The guest was reminding listeners how individuals and churches are called to help the poor and the marginalized and how having secure housing can help stabilize the issues that contribute to homelessness. I was compelled to track down his book. For me his work is a five ⭐️ pick. It is teaching me how a change in perspective and a willingness to do small and big things may make a difference.

A SECULAR AGE | Charles Taylor

My beloved finally noticed this morning that everything in the world is terrible before I‘ve had a cup of coffee. Shout out to observant partners everywhere. ☕️#chatterday

May all the protesters stay safe today— if you don‘t have any homemade revolution, store-bought is fine. Reading books fights fascism, too.

Charles Taylor again today. It‘s brilliant & won lots of awards for it, all rightfully earned.

The author's account of how as an adult his Catholicism re-asserted itself and what that meant as the Church hierarchy threw itself into the fight against even secular civil gay marriage in the mid 2000s. ⬇

rwmg In the beginning I thought the author was trying a bit too hard to be witty but once he settled down, this became an interesting and readable account of a tumultuous time. The book dates from 2008 and it does show sometimes with its cultural references to celebs I'd forgotten about if indeed I was ever aware of them. I would read another edition with a retrospective afterword as a properly edited ebook - this one had far too many OCR mistakes. 3w
