- The Augustinian Institute at Villanova sponsors Reconsiderations, an international conference on the theology, philosophy, ethics, and exegesis of St. Augustine. Notable speakers include John Cavadini, Brian Daley, John Bowlin, Eric Gregory, and Charles Mathewes. (I still need to figure out a way to make the trip to Philadelphia so soon after moving to South Bend; someone needs to attend and blog the details.)
- R.O. Flyer on Nate Kerr and his critique of the church-as-polis.
- An interview with Joel Salatin, the Christian-Libertarian-Environmentalist-Capitalist-Lunatic farmer.
- On the occasion of Roger Federer’s record 15th Grand Slam title, David Foster Wallace’s classic piece on the great Swiss tennis player: “Federer as Religious Experience.” Everyone has their Federer Moment.

That Reconsiderations conference looks great; I hadn’t heard about it. There’s gotta be _someone_ who has a friend at Villanova to stay with, and I bet it wouldn’t be too hard to find a car-full to make the drive to Philly.

You’d think so. Of course, we’d have to drive across the apocalyptic landscape of western Pennsylvania. But I’d be down with that.

Ha, true. But I’m acclimated to that particular apocalypse–I lived in Harrisburg last year, and have made that drive many times.
