Flotsam and jetsam (8/24)

I’m off to a faculty retreat this morning, so just some quick links today.

• iMonk continues its discussion of the new evangelical coalition, with a post on Robert Webber, the ‘father’ of the ancient-future stream. There’s also a good discussion of John Armstrong’s appreciation of Tradition.
• Justin Taylor offers a really nice summary of comments and resources on Martin Luther that Carl Trueman has recently made available.
• Jason Goroncy reflects on the cost and grace of parish ministry.
• Brian LePort wrestles with the question of whether the reference to Quirinius in Luke 2:2 is an error. He’s gotten some good suggestions for resources and I hope he’ll post his conclusions when he’s done.
• The Catholic Mass will be undergoing its most significant revisions in 40 years.
• If you need to waste some time this morning (dont’ we all?), here’s a quiz to see how well you know your Crayola colors.
• And, apparently the world is running out of helium. Is that bad?
