		<title>NOTRE DAME’S MUSEUM OF BIODIVERSITY AND MORAL LEADERSHIP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The South Bend Tribune ran a fascinating cover story this week on the Museum of Biodiversity housed on the campus of Notre Dame University. Closed to the public, this climate-controlled museum features a priceless 150-year-old collection of plant specimens from around the globe. The entire herbarium collection is now numbered at 280,000 specimens.  But the goal of [...]]]></description>

		<title>CLASS OF 2013: A CALL FOR MORAL LEADERS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Earlier this month I had the privilege of speaking for ten minutes to the Andrews Academy student body for one of their morning worships. I had actually spent an hour and a half the night before writing up a devotional for that worship. But as I was praying before leaving my study that night, I [...]]]></description>

		<title>DRIP, DRIP, DRIP</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Drip, drip, drip. There are two ways to empty a tankful of water. You can crank open the faucet and let the water flow. Or—and this method is much slower, but just as effective—you can let the faucet drip one drop at a time. Either way the tank will eventually empty. Two government disclosures this [...]]]></description>

		<title>HELD AGAINST HER WILL</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We’re all still shaking our heads with disbelief and joy over the headlines out of Cleveland, Ohio, this week. On Monday afternoon the 911 dispatcher heard the plea of a breathless female voice: “Help me. I’m Amanda Berry. I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years now and I’m, I’m here, I’m free [...]]]></description>

		<title>GRADUATE TO THE WORLD</title>
		<description><![CDATA[What does the collapse of the Bangladeshi clothing factory have to do with this graduating class of our “best and brightest”? More than meets the eye. I was stunned to watch the now-arrested owner of the doomed factory in Dhaka declare on camera just hours before the collapse that there was no problem with his [...]]]></description>

		<title>SOCIAL MEDIA’S WILD GUESS</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Twin events in the past few days have revealed the catapulted status the social media now enjoy in our society. The Boston Marathon bombings and their aftermath last week and the hacked and tweeted hoax about a White House attack this week are a sobering reminder of the power wielded by a host of cyberspace [...]]]></description>

		<title>HERE WE GO AGAIN</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We were in the middle of our staff meeting Monday afternoon, when my phone beeped a text message. It was from Karen: “Bombs at the finish line of the Boston Marathon.” Everyone around the table grabbed their phone, as with the rest of the nation we watched the first pictures from the marathon finish line.

		<title>SHALL WE BECOME A CHRISTIAN NATION?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[According to a recent Huffington Post/YouGov poll of Americans, 32% of us expressed our desire for Christianity to become the “official” religion of the United States. Forty-two percent of respondents opposed that notion, with 32% of them “strongly opposed.” I share their strong opposition. That’s why it really isn’t so inconsequential that a group of [...]]]></description>

		<title>MY MOTHER WAS BORN IN NORTH KOREA</title>
		<description><![CDATA[It’s true. She was born in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea. Only it wasn’t North Korea back then—it was simply Korea. My grandparents, Ralph and Mildred Watts, were young missionaries in Korea when Mom was born, and they ended up serving seventeen years in that country. So having grown up as a missionaries’ kid [...]]]></description>

		<title>A NEW POPE FOR EASTER</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I’ve been amazed—on two counts—over the public reaction to the recent election of a new pontiff for the Roman Catholic Church. The global press has been awash in accolades for Pope Francis. No doubt the dramatic contrast between the personalities of this new pope and his predecessor, Benedict XVI, has fueled the news media’s complimentary, [...]]]></description>
