...launched in 2002 to subsidize the development and expansion of the division. The notes also provide a rare window into the inner workings of efforts by the Harvard development machine to maintain its donor relationships. The donors’ names were revealed in a December 2004 document containing prepared text to be used in handwritten Post-It notes from DEAS Dean and Armstrong Professor of Engineering and Applied Sciences Venkatesh “Venky” Narayanamurti. A similar style of notes will be included in holiday cards to donors and other individuals important to the DEAS this year...

...churches skews female, provoking a search for strong masculine Biblical role models and ways to create church-based male bonding, especially between younger men and mentors. Joseph is the original Promise Keeper. Also, Jenkins sees a shift in even conservative Evangelical preaching from stringent exegesis, or analysis of text, to more free-ranging storytelling. "There are guys who can spend an hour just talking about one verse, and that happens to be my favorite form of preaching," he says. "But there is a marketplace of ideas. People now have access to iPods and TV and movies." Christian fiction is booming...
