...games till somebody loses his head. As anybody who has even looked sideways at the Internet knows, anonymity has a disastrously disinhibiting effect on human behavior. Freed of any possibility that their words will be connected to their actual identities, anonymous Internet posters have charted historic new depths of verbal offensiveness. Andrew Keen, author of The Cult of the Amateur: How Today's Internet Is Killing Our Culture, has called for posters to own up to their Internet alter egos, arguing that "if we are to save the Internet, we need to confront the curse of anonymity...
...both substance and significant promise. Four new host congregations will announce themselves in August, and more are in the pipeline: NSM has received hundreds of calls from interested congregations and participated in 33 phone conferences and 15 visits working out the details. The movement draws from an actual grass-roots network but has also garnered support within bodies as big as the United Methodist Church. Its solid biblical underpinnings make its issue particularly promising for the resurgent religious left, and it may peel conservative Protestant Hispanics from the right.

Ultimately though, the actual net worth of the worldwide Church, over which the Pope always holds the last word, is indeed vastly greater than the Vatican operating budget would indicate. Indeed, simply weighing the value of certain works of art inside St. Peter's brings estimates to the word "priceless." Another reason, perhaps...
...HRST’s actual production of “The World Over” was very impressive, particularly the set design by Thalassa G. Raasch ’09. The ship, with which some of Adam’s travels take place, was extremely well constructed, even beautiful. At the beginning of the play, a map of some of Adam’s travels was projected onto the ship’s white sails. This extremely professional construction proved useful throughout the play, particularly during the hurricane scene that HRST impressively portrayed at the end of the first...
