…ledge where Baumgartner realized his own finitude.” His remarks come as a welcome contrast to the hubris of so many technology elites.

It’s sort of a magical moment where people just are connecting and seeing each other, when they break it down, and they’re not trying to be a big-time performer, putting on a big show.

…ews who have sought a place at the Jewish table. We have been made to feel welcome; not only as “others” but as full members of the tribe. (As long as we kept other communal norms, like making monogamous family units, preferably with Jewish partners and children, but that’s another story.)

…y that all children are beloved of God, entitled to saving ordinances, and welcome to participate in the life of the church.
