- I was listening to NPR and they were talking to a professor of the University of Chicago who recently lectured in Tokyo. When someone asked where he was from, he mentioned Chicago, and that person’s response was “Oh, Al Capone.” And here I thought Dallas was the only city that was tied to a negative past.

- Quote that caught my attention and reminded me of my Baptist roots in which I was taught that I could not be “of the world”:
“Religions that grow are the ones that are hard-core in some way—they have something that differs sharply from the culture in which they operate. “That’s the problem with mainline Protestantism: It’s not different enough from mainstream America. Evangelicals have been able to pitch themselves as the alternative to mainstream culture.”
Stephen Prothero, a religion professor at Boston University
