Today @ProvMagazine, I reflect on civilizational significance of the work universities do--and this seems like a good occasion to report a professional update. For the next year, I'll be a Senior Fellow at @AshbrookCenter here @Ashland_Univ.

Looking at everyone to have been "influenced" by Reinhold Niebuhr, it's telling that it's basically everyone post-WWII. This is a strength and a weakness, indicating that Niebuhr basically set the terms of the debate, but not where this mode of thought should terminate

"Nona’s entreaties for Iraqi Christians unity are not only out of spiritual concern, but also recognition of the reality that if the Christian community does not stand united, it will cease to exist."
Excellent coverage by @ProvMagazine.

"These militias seize land in Batnaya, Tel Keppe, and Bakhdida through forged deeds, registry intimidation, and squatting. They also control transit checkpoints, reconstruction contracts, and the lucrative Mosul–Erbil trade corridor."
Though the threat from ISIS has abated, Iran-backed Shiite militias continue to terrorize the Christian minority in Iraq. The US must push Baghdad to protect the few Christians left in Iraq. @realSamuelBenUr @FDD

Though Iraq just installed a new Catholic Patriarch, the Christian community he inherits has been all but destroyed by decades of nonstate violence - and today by rogue Iraqi military institutions.

This was a very fun-to-edit article partially responding to an earlier essay I wrote titled "What Do Conservatives Mean by 'Western Civilization'?" It is a privilege to get to edit a publication so engaged in serious discourse around the meaning of the West
The Crucifixion was the moment Western civilization began, with the sign on the cross written in Hebrew, Greek, and Latin functioning as the birth certificate of the West

Haven’t read any Shakespeare since high school so figured I’d go all in and get his complete works. Will hopefully finish before the end of the year. Pretty thick but I think l I’ll enjoy it. Will return to this tweet periodically with Shakespearean reflections.
