Prison Reform – As a board member of a prison ministry, I have seen first hand the good, bad, and ugly of America’s prison system. Several articles worth reading – Prison and the Poverty Trap; Incarceration in Fragile Families; Collateral Costs of Incarceration; The Sentencing Project; and Incarceration and Cutting Crime.

Scholars and the Church – Krista Dalton writes a personal account of the tension often encountered by scholars in the church. Really enjoyed it especially since it was on my mind this week also.

Seminary as a Cemetery – Amanda says maybe it should be.

Congrats to Marc Cortez and Nijay Gupta for new jobs. I hope they both keep blogging!
