...father's church. Moss moved his wife and two children to Chicago, where he was to serve as an associate pastor at Trinity during the two-year transition. By most accounts, Moss quickly energized Trinity, particularly with his easy, unself-conscious references from the pulpit to both hip-hop culture and deep biblical scholarship. However, in an August 2007 Cleveland Plain Dealer article, Moss seemed to foreshadow his troubles in Trinity. The generation gap plaguing such institutions, Moss said, is "a gap of language, values.

...computer all day and not doing normal exercise. In previous generations when we were digging ditches or pitching hay, there was a type of what we would now call functional exercise where we're exercising the whole body.

To be fair, Sarkozy had nothing to do with Dion's selection, which was made in 2005. Nor is there anything new in the Legion inducting honorees whose selection induces a blanching response among people of taste. While professional cynics such Porte lavishly mock a national joke...
