The Perfect 3-Point Sermon
“If we lived in a state where virtue was profitable, common sense would make us saintly. But since we see that abhorrence, anger, pride and stupidity commonly profit far beyond charity, modesty, justice and thought, perhaps we must stand fast a little—even at the risk of being heroes.” —Sir Thomas More, from the play, A…

I Wish You Could Have Known this Man…
I wish you could have known this man. I met him when I was fifteen years old and suicidal, and within minutes everything in my life changed. Five years before I was a ten-year-old avowed atheist living with my parents in Sacramento, California. I had a passion for nature and the outdoors—an aspiring forest ranger…

Happy Birthday Prof. ‘Tollers’
