Am descoperit-o pe Nancy Pearcey (o fostă studentă a lui Fr. Schaeffer) la recomandarea lui Emil Silvestru. Citind-o, pur și simplu simt că m-am îmbogățit. Tocmai zilele astea citesc Total Truth.Liberating Christianity from its Cultural Captivity (Crossway Books, 2004). O lectură absolut necesară!
Alături de Total Truth, recomand și ultima ei carte, Saving Leonardo: A Call to Resist the Secular Assault on Mind, Morals, and Meaning (B&H Books, 2010).
Iată o scurtă prezentare a acestei cărți:

Foster parent ban: ‘no place’ in the law for Christianity, High Court rules
There is no place in British law for Christian beliefs, despite this country’s long history of religious observance and the traditions of the established Church, two High Court judges said on Monday.

Photo: UPPALord Justice Munby and Mr Justice Beatson made the remarks when ruling on the case of a Christian couple who were told that they could not be foster carers because of their view that homosexuality is wrong.
The judges underlined that, in the case of fostering arrangements at least, the right of homosexuals to equality “should take precedence” over the right of Christians to manifest their beliefs and moral values.
In a ruling with potentially wide-ranging implications, the judges said Britain was a “largely secular”, multi-cultural country in which the laws of the realm “do not include Christianity”.
Campaigners for homosexual rights welcomed the judgment for placing “21st-century decency above 19th-century prejudice”. Christian campaigners claimed that it undermined the position of the Church of England.
The ruling in the case of Owen and Eunice Johns, from Derby, is the latest in a series of judgments in which Christians have been defeated in the courts for breaching equality laws by manifesting their beliefs on homosexuality. (emphasis mine)
Nimic nou sub soare! Același opiu pentru popor:
What if a pill could make you rich and powerful?
Atenție când întinzi mâna spre pomul interzis. Șansa de a fi nu doar un “supra-om” ci un “hyper-God” cere un preț. Ce fel de preț și cât de mare? Să nu-l trecem doar la “side-effect”!
Everything is possible when you open your mind!
Oare suntem destul de deschiși la minte să vedem că atunci când ești “open mind” de dragul de a-ți cuceri o libertate prometeică, e foarte posibil să te fi închis în cauzalitatea unor procese entropice și să devii un Sisif?
There are two ways through life: the way of nature and the way of grace. You have to choose which one you will follow.

Some day we’ll fall down and wait…, and we’ll understand it all …, all things.

Am descoperit (via Lydie) o algeriancă care explorează foarte bine o legătură organică între jazz și ritmurile arabe tradiționale. E o reală încântare să o asculți pe Karima Nayt și să descoperi și alte orizonturi muzicale.
