When I consider the heavens…

Our good friend, Adam Hincks, S.J., has an article in the Jesuit weekly America in which he reflects on the relationship between contemporary cosmology and Christian faith:

Through much of Western history, it was thought that the motions of the heavens were regular and unchanging. The Christian notion that the cosmos had a beginning in time had to be accepted as an article of faith. With the advent of the Big Bang theory, it might seem that science corroborates revelation, but it is not that simple.

The article is temporarily available to non-subscribers. Read the whole thing.

Friends

A couple of friends have web sites which they feel could use a little more exposure. These links are my meager offering:

• My good friend Daniel Bader runs an informative site about bipolar disorder called Bipolar Today, including a very active and characteristically fascinating blog.
• Another friend, Daniel Santoro, is a lawyer, and a good one.

The three prayers

Good news! Our friend Janet Cupo — known hereabouts as simply “Janet” — has gone and started her own new blog: The Three Prayers. Janet has been reading and commenting here for a long time, and I, for one, am looking forward to returning the favour. I will add her blog to my blogroll just as soon as I get a chance.

House of Words

Friend-of-this-blog Jonathan Potter, who blogs (under a cunning pseudonym) at Korrektiv, has just had a volume of poetry published, entitled House of Words.

We all know that getting a book published is a major accomplishment.  I extend my sincere congratulations to Mr. Potter. Here’s hoping the book is as successful as those other Potter books.

Meanwhile, the public relations manager at the Korrektiv Public Library, who bears my initials, shares my interests, and is pretty much exactly like me in every respect, is taking his job too seriously. That man needs a vacation.

Miscontinuity

My friend Daniel Bader, whose excellent blog The Lyceum has fallen dormant of late, has recently launched a new blog dedicated to a long-standing passion of his: comic books.  He calls it Miscontinuity, and he posts comic book reviews regularly.  I know him to be an astute judge and a fine writer, so if you’ve an interest in such things I encourage you to take a look.  I’ve added a link from my blogroll.
