And if I bring personal reminiscences to this discussion, it's only in order to understand her better as a writer. .... She was supremely interested in moral choices and then how these could be rendered in fiction " (p. [1]).

- "The current state of Christian discourse is a shambles. .... Over the past hundred and fifty years or so, we have managed to put the astonishment of the Gospel proclamation not just in the shade but in deep darkness. .... What has occurred, I think, is this. First, we allowed ourselves to be lured into the dull business of answering people's questions about religion instead of throwing ourselves into the fascinating job of astounding them with the bizarreness of what God in Christ has actually done. Second, we bought into the entirely non-Gospel notion that Jesus is the official Boy Scout teacher of morality and that we as his church, therefore, could safely volunteer ourselves as the moral police force of the wrold. Finally, having thus become distracted from our real work, we found ourselves mired instead in the twin dismal swamps of religion and morality -- or, to put a finer, gentler point on it, in the profoundly marginal subjects of apologetics and ethics." -- p. [1-2].

The lecture, published here, develops themes from Senator Danforth's long legislative service to his state and nation and his thoughtfulness about the nation as a whole". -- inside front cover.
- "My intention tonight is to describe as clearly as I can an impending national crisis, to note the political paralysis in dealing with this crisis, and to suggest the role that you, as people of faith can and indeed must play if we as a nation are to address this crisis effectively. ... The issue centers on a single word: entitlements. .... The hard truth is that the entitlement problems concern only four programs. ... They are Social Security, Medicare, and the government retirement programs for military and civil servants. The fourth out-of-control program is Medicaid -- health care for the poor" (p. [1]). "Sixteen years from now [in 2012], mandatory spending will consume all federal revenue. Nothing will be left for discretionary programs -- those which are appropriated by congress" (p. [2]). "The work of holding American together has always been difficult. And it is difficult today. We are fractured along many lines -- racial, regional, economic. One of those fracture lines was not known in earlier times: it is generational and this break gets more serious as our retirees get more numerous and our young people more concerned about their futures" (p. [8]).

- "[By] Robert Kinloch Massie, Jr."
- "Public Lecture, the University of Tulsa, October 15, 1995".
- "In this essay I will argue that individuals merge moral deliberation and policy formulation by translating their values into a defined group of organizational principles. In combination these principles provide a common structure that underlies the distinctive moral languages of different organizations. In brief, I contend that when members of organizations are asked to deliberate about policy they appeal to five different core principles, or `organizational imperatives' : survival, growth, efficiency, legitimacy, and consistency. While under normal conditions participants in policy discussions rely most heavily on the growth and efficiency imperatives, conditions of crisis transform those deliberations in such a manner that legitimacy, consistency, and survival emerge as the most important. At the end I will offer some reflections on the implications of these insights, suggesting that with this typology we can 1) better understand policy debates taking place within organizations 2) craft more effective arguments to influence the direction of policy and 3) reshape our institutions so that they are more likely to take ethical considerations into account as they establish and implement their plans". -- Intro., pp. [1-2].

- "Tonight I would like to suggest that the layers of emptiness we encounter at every level of existence, from the biological to the so-called mystical, not only are related intimately to one another, but also open onto the same boundlessness that is the nexus of all we truly are. Or, to use another metaphor, they are lenses that line up, as it were, fusing into a refractor, a sort of telescope or microscope -- it does not matter which -- that helps us to see beyond the prison of our conceptual universe into one that is without limit" (p. [5]). "To free us from our fear and to foster the integration of fecund emptiness into our lives is one of the primary functions of religion and of many of the texts and practices religion generates. And however else religious texts may be interpreted, they show us that empty spaces offer the opportunity for a fusion of act and being, where the truth of our selves may fully emerge, even as it is being spoken from silence" (p. [7]).
