The course is "Religion and Public Life in America," and I paired it with our discussion of the Second Great Awakening. A really interesting, insightful way to consider Mormonism in the past and present. Highly recommended listening for everyone!

But speaking of memoirs, YOU need to write a full account of your younger years -- how many writers grow up as one in a set of triplets to a missionary family in Nigeria? Maybe just you!

"Heretic" shirts - a vague memory, I think... hmmm...I'm thinking on that. I could add my own stories of "Mission Meeting" to your missionary mention. :) The book sounds like a great addition.M.E.Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993165348236952072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-47426046300793854972012-02-19T23:40:51.976-07:002012-02-19T23:40:51.976-07:00That's why American Presbyterians more or less...That's why American Presbyterians more or less invented modern academia, John, don't you think? (With some previous help from the Congregationalists, mind you). Usually we can't even cross the campus together with a plan, much less cross the plains.Paul Harveyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13881964303772343114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37589721331585843.post-34246758558917507872012-02-19T23:33:07.897-07:002012-02-19T23:33:07.897-07:00Ditto to Chris's comment.

We Presbyterians couldn't get the idea of crossing the plains out of committee.John G.
