Well, it's been a hell of a ride, laying rubber all over the road for the past decade. But it's time to call it a day and park the Rogue in the garage. Effective today, I am shutting down my blog to focus my attention on other endeavours. My thanks to the more than 2.7 million people who regularly joined me on these sojourns through news stories over the years that dealt with the places with issues of religion and faith intersecting with public affairs. May God bless you with a continuing desire to learn about and help disseminate the issues of faith throughout the public square. Happy trails in your continuing travels! Fr. Tim Moyle, p.p. Diocese of Pembroke
Reflections from the pastoral ministry of an Evangelical Catholic Priest.
Indeed the one sidedness of science would lead to a stifled existence. We need to balance that out against art, literature, music, all creations of the human mind that fully explore our shared humanity. What we need to guard against is the exclusion of science (of which Fr. Tim certainly does not) or the sole reliance only on religious literature. I know of very few scientific people who shun the humanities. Richard Dawkins has numerous references to poetry and literatire, Daniel C Dennett loves Bach's Cantatas and the late Christiopher Hitchens was an ardent avocate for the teaching of the Bible as literature in schools.
