My mom and dad offered me a wonderful model of married life (as I wrote here). They led our family as partners. Interestingly, my dad (though not a religious person) nonetheless related to my mom in a way that I later found was very consistent with a biblical perspective. And what did I find?
Within some Christian circles today, this is not always the way things are viewed. But even though my father was not a religious person, as I looked more closely at Scripture in the years ahead, I found out how close both of them were to a truly biblical perspective.
Today, May 15, 2024, is the fortieth anniversary of the death of Francis A. Schaeffer (1912-1984). To mark the occasion The Gospel Coalition released a retrospective piece on this influential twentieth-century Christian apologist by long-time Schaeffer associate Dick Keyes .
The 2018 Cigna health study reported that nearly half of all Americans said they sometimes or always feel alone or left out. Younger generations are even lonelier. And that was before Covid! Other countries report the same.
Much of this is because we are isolated and have forgotten how to talk to each other. How do we get out of this cycle? As someone who is not a great conversationalist, I found The Six Conversations by Heather Holleman, associate professor at Penn State, to be wise and practical. The place to start, she says, is with four mindsets.
The cause of our increasingly polarized society is not primarily due to political conflict but to loneliness. That is the surprising conclusion of four books from four different authors I mentioned in my last post.
Because more and more of us in society feel isolated and disconnected, we are drawn to twisted forms of community to fill the void. These tribes are bound together by a common enemy rather than by the common good.
Of the four authors, Sasse has the most practical ideas to offer. In addition to a chapter on technology in Them, he has three constructive chapters on re-educating ourselves on how democracy works, putting politics in its place, on finding ways to be rooted even in our nomadic culture, and more (pp. 133-256).
Yes, cable news and talk radio hosts have taken advantage of our situation. And yes, there are more than 50,000 Russian-linked social-media accounts fueling outrage by sending automated messages on both sides of issues. But these only feed on a pre-existing condition.
Second, conservative commentator David Brooks made the same point in The Second Mountain. Brooks thinks our increasing isolation from one another has led us to gravitate toward twisted forms of connection. As Brooks says, tribalism is the evil twin of community. The first is defined by who is our foe. The second by who is our friend.
Adam Grant in Think Again suggests one reason can be our frame of mind. When we are locked into a cycle of pride, conviction, and confirmation bias, we are likely to learn little and grow little.
For teachers and managers, Grant also explores in two separate chapters how students can be taught to constructively rethink information they receive, and how businesses can break out of comfortable but stale processes.
A variation on this is to affirm those you disagree with whenever possible. Tell them that you believe they are people of sound judgment and that their motives are good. The temperature in such a discussion will go down as well as the defenses.
The most effective persuaders ask many more questions than average persuaders. By honestly trying to find out what someone thinks, we can learn more about what motivates them, where we can affirm them, and thus work toward ideas that will meet their concerns and ours.
And Wilson fills in his premise with impressive amounts of fascinating detail, vigorous synthesis, and penetrating insight. All the while he brings in contemporary illustrations from Hamilton and The Hunger Games to The Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
Grace. We do not bear the impossible burden that our (enlightenment and romantic) world places on us of creating our own identity, status, and value. Rather, God shows his favor to us regardless of our accomplishments, intelligence, or wealth.
Truth. Reality is not lodged in abstract, impersonal, scientifically verifiable principles. Rather truth is graciously personified in the Father, Son, and Spirit. Jesus, who was full of both grace and truth, again is our model. We dare not separate the two.

After Limoges, New York and Taipei, the 140 contemporary ceramic ornaments in Un peu de terre sur la peau arrived at the Muse des Arts Dcoratifs de Paris in March. (After it closes in August, the exhibition travels to Toronto, Canada.)
The general problem that the exhibition develops is the importance of a technique to a field that has not traditionally been concerned with this material or the skills required to use it. Ceramics (a material and a process conventionally and mainly devoted to the arts of the table) when transposed to the world of jewelry and in its four possible types (earthenware, stoneware, porcelain and bone china) allows the manufacture of unusual and new objects. In a slightly purple ambience, modules have been placed (one for each artist) against the walls and in the center of the space. The directional spotlights ask the viewer to shift slightly in order to see and, placed very low, the labels are barely visible. However, the visitor flows easily from one showcase to the other, from one jeweler to another. A total of eighteen jewelers and 140 objects demonstrate masterfully what contemporary jewelry can be.
The objects that catch the eye immediately are the imposing necklaces of Dutch jeweler Willemijn de Greef: those long hemp ropes, with their orange terracotta modules, representing the texture of the rope, threaded one after the other, are particularly spectacular. Walking around with such strings on the neck creates a certain visual effect that you cannot see in photographs of the work. The jeweler says he was inspired by the kraplap, a piece of clothing from the Dutch traditional costume, very colorful and enveloping the shoulders. The long necklaces of the Finnish jeweler Tiina Rajakallio are similarly surprising, with dark and uncertain contours and human hair, clay, cotton and rubber amalgamated and painted. A notable strangeness emerges from these hairy objects.
Dimension, recovery, technical operation, manipulation or provocation . . . this exhibition highlights some creative levers of contemporary jewelry. Applied to jewelry, the implementation of this specific material highlights its wealth of creative possibilities. This demonstration of beneficial innovations is economically vital for a company like Bernardaud and for contemporary jewelry, which is always ready to experiment but which has no real space to expose its strengths and creative resources.
Lucileee Bach is an art critic based in Paris. She has a PhD from the Sorbonne, which is an anthropology of the jewel as it relates to fashion and contemporary art. She has written a book about the history and design of the ring, and is co-curating an exhibition about French contemporary jewelry that will take place at the Schmuckmuseum in 2014.
Jeux de peau, an envelopping, warm and sensual perfume in Serge Lutens' Flacon de table collection .
Notes: Apricot note, Spicy notes, Floral notes, Sandalwood, Olibanum, Wheat, Toasted notes, Rye, Labdanum Ciste, Iris, Liquorice note, Milk accord
The primary essence of a Serge Lutens perfume does not reside in the assembly of a list of ingredients, but in an experience, a sensitivity. Doubts, anger, fragility, joy (also)... each of them represents a moment of ourselves. Discordering, torturing raw materials to make them confess, Serge Lutens has not made a profession of it but an art!
Serge Lutens favours the use of premium grade raw materials of natural origin to make its fragrances, driven by the conviction that these alone can ensure full and complex evolution of the perfume on the skin. To use, spray your chosen fragrance directly onto the skin and let it sit for a few minutes. This allows the composition to take on its full character and reveal its truest, most seductive form. Serge Lutens essences always end up confessing to their deeds!
