Monday Miscellany
Shall we begin the week with a couple of interesting reflections on practical theology? Here, Phil Johnson offers his thoughts on the evangelical movement: thought provoking as always. And here is an interesting reflection on evangelism itself. (Thanks to TC)
On the education front, note this interesting article on how universities are making (or failing to make) the grade with regards to transferring education to their customers. This time, they are being evaluated by the American Council of Trustees and Alumni. Don't miss their website here, and check out your favorite university. (Thanks to SD)
And speaking of the education (or lack thereof) of the masses, how about this not-surprising article about the "MySpace" generation, and their lack of interpersonal communication skills?
And in a slightly, if tangentially, related note, how about the poor guy who was sentenced for yawning? (No, I'm not making it up.) Wonder where that judge went to college...and no wonder we have the highest incarceration rate in the free world...
Lastly, check out the video below. It's always a better week with a little john Clease... (Thanks to TB)
