[The Christian faith] ought to mitigate the self-righteousness which is an inevitable concomitant of all human conflict. The spirit of contrition is an important ingredient in the sense of justice." Wonderful, just wonderful! Humility is always the first casualty of conflict. Thank you for these terrific musings. I appreciate you reading and paraphrasing Neibuhr for me. I love him and have not had the chance to revisit his writings lately.

This happened in our house, to someone I will not name (it was not MY mistake, thankfully.)

I'm looking forward to watching the McKibben lecture. Thanks for the links, and for this blog, and for taking the time to clean out your refrigerator!
