On June 8, 1942,
C.S. Lewis walked into the University Church of St. Mary the Virgin on High
Street in Oxford and delivered one of the most famous sermons of the 20th
century – “The Weight of Glory.” Justin Taylor at Evangelical History has the
story (and a link to the sermon online).
The Atlantic has two photo essays – one of the earth
from above, taken aboard the International Space Station, and the other of the
earth down here – cowboys in the 21st century. Both are magnificent.
And The Telegraph has the first color
photographs of England.
A trio of
writers posted articles on, at second glance, may very well be the same thing. James
Clark asks if you can have conscience without faith. Thomas Sowell wonders if personal
responsibility has become obsolete. Samuel James discusses the politics of
never growing up.
Good poetry,
good photography, and a time-lapse video of New Orleans that’s wonderful.
