First, I have a new post on 843 Acres discussing euthanasia: "Euthanasia and the Right to be a Burden." 

Second, two years ago, I went out to Calvin College's Festival of Faith and Writing, and I'm headed back in April. I'll be leading a "circle" on Writing as Ministry, and I want to invite any and all readers of this blog to join me at the Festival and for this discussion. If you can't make it to Grand Rapids, of course, you'll get to be there vicariously through me, as I'm sure it will provide fodder for sundry blogposts.But just in case there are readers and writers out there who might be interested in gathering with other people of faith who love writing, here's the invitation. Join us!
