The Coddling of the American Mind

Recently John Little sent me a link to an article in The Atlantic entitled "The Coddling of the American Mind" which merits thoughtful reflection by those of us at CUCC. While the article is directed primarily at trends in higher education, some of the trends cited in the article have also been observed within our own church.

Articles on this topic have been appearing with increasing frequency. (Recently I publicized a similar article from The New Yorker.) Such articles tend to be long, in part because there are so many examples that can be brought to bear, as well as so many questionable aspects of this trend.

I hope you will take time to read this piece and to reflect on it.  -- Lavon Page
