Theology
Ok, I’m a bit excited, and its a bit silly. I would love to get a PhD in Christian Ethics under a guy by the name of Stanley Hauerwas. Unfortunately he is not really accepting PhD students anymore. But, I wrote to him and asked him who I should study under who is continuing on his legacy. He pointed out four profs at two schools: Marquette University (Milwaukee, WI) and University of Dayton (Ohio). I was super stoked to get a letter from Hauerwas (would it be cheesy to frame it?), and now Emily and I are going to have to consider Wisconsin and Ohio. They seem pretty boondocks. Plus, I don’t think I know anyone who has ever lived, much less been, to those states!Tags: Hauerwas

Theology“The greatest sacrifice of war is not the sacrifice of life, great as such a sacrifice may be, but rather the sacrifice of our unwillingness to kill. That sacrifice, that is, the sacrifice of our unwillingness to kill, is why war is at once so morally compelling and morally perverse.”
