I really enjoyed doing this podcast with @juliafspa. We talked about my work on saints, the meaning of vocation and a "journey faith," what I learned from Dorothy Day and Sister Wendy, and just about everything. Apologies for starting slow, but it heats up fast!

Eighty years ago today, Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans were beheaded for their part in resisting Nazi crimes.
On Feb 22 1943 Sophie Scholl and her brother Hans, 21 and 22, were beheaded by the Nazis for their part in the White Rose, a small circle of young people in Munich who tried to provoke a moral awakening by distributing leaflets denouncing the evils of the Nazi regime.

Read this excerpt from James Cone’s “The Cross and the Lynching Tree,” and then order the book at discount from @OrbisBooks
Like Niebuhr, King believed that the cross was the defining heart of the Christian faith. Unlike Niebuhr, his understanding of the cross was inflected by his awareness of the lynching tree, and this was a significant difference.

There's a certain Slant of light,
Winter Afternoons –
That oppresses, like the Heft
Of Cathedral Tunes —…
When it comes, the Landscape listens –
Shadows – hold their breath –
When it goes, 'tis like the Distance
On the look of Death –
—Emily Dickinson

Feast of the legendary St Julian the Hospitaller. His name was taken by the Church of St Julian in Norwich, from which the anchoress Julian of Norwich, it is believed, derives her name. My reflection from @GiveUsThisDayLP
