Manifest Destiny Revisited: Social Media and Racial Violence
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2015/08/social-media-and-racial-violence.html
Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Social Media and Racial Violence. Two weeks ago I got pretty involved in a social-media exchange after a neighbor was killed by a stray bullet. What really upset me, and caused me to start contacting Facebook and the local media about their comments policies, was a post from a pseudonymous stranger from Alabama on a local TV station’s comment section, for which that station uses Facebook. So I followed up:. 8220;My comments were juvenile, hateful and stupid and I apologize for ...

Manifest Destiny Revisited: November 2014
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2014_11_01_archive.html
Wednesday, November 19, 2014. A Good Use for a Quarter Million Dollars. What’s the right way to use $250,000? Saturday Sally and I took a behind the scenes tour of ProjectHome Indy. One of the neighborhood non-profits that Trinity Episcopal Church supports. PHI rents from Trinity, for about a dollar a month, a home around the corner from the church that the organization has nicely restored and now maintains as a place that offers shelter and life-skills training to homeless pregnant teens and teenage moms.

Manifest Destiny Revisited: Pharoah's Dream
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2014/12/pharoahs-dream.html
Monday, December 15, 2014. I've decided to name my next blog Pharoah's Dream. I'm just posting here for the time being.). The purpose of this blog is to talk primarily and specifically about church finance, but also about non-profit finance in general. My primary intended audience is the lay leadership of churches like the Episcopalian congregation of which I'm a member; although much of this will also pertain to all non-profits. For 3400 years, this story has been used to demonstrate the wisdom of prude...

Manifest Destiny Revisited: Some thoughts on Iran
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2015/03/some-thoughts-on-iran.html
Wednesday, March 11, 2015. Some thoughts on Iran. Man, can we hold a grudge. But even then, even with a history degree, I didn’t fully appreciate the backstory on Iran, or Persia. The early Arabic Muslims had no such teachings, however, about other religions; which is why in Persia, Zoroastrianism did die out. It does seem that in Persia and points east, the locals may have been converted to Islam at the point of a sword. Most of what we Westerners now know about ancient Persian culture comes to us throu...

Manifest Destiny Revisited: July 2015
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Wednesday, July 22, 2015. Flags and Lost Causes. I own a Scottish flag, as well as three kilts and related accoutrements - all part of showing off a Scottish heritage that I didn't know I had until 15 years ago. My great-grandfather Harry Cummins had been in the United States so long that none of HIS descendants even know their name was Scottish. So I've been thinking about some comparisons. Of course the Scotsman, King James, moved to London, commissioned a Bible to be translated to English, and pretty ...

Manifest Destiny Revisited: Curating Lincoln: Another Look at "So Costly a Sacrifice"
http://newlinsmanifestdestiny.blogspot.com/2015/06/curating-lincoln-another-look-at-so.html
Sunday, June 21, 2015. Curating Lincoln: Another Look at "So Costly a Sacrifice". Reprinted by permission from The Urban Times. Is the sesquicentennial of the Civil War is coming to a close with more of a whimper than a bang? A handful of Lincoln items are on constant rotation through the State Museum's permanent history galleries, but a key to Indiana's success in maintaining the collection was the commitment to mount periodic special exhibitions based on the collection. Right now, the fourth such e...
