From Mere Comments:
About Rick and Nancy Pearcey:
J. Richard Pearcey is editor and publisher of the report. Rick has worked as a journalist, writer, and editor in the Washington, D.C., area since the late 1980s.
Best-selling author Nancy Pearcey is editor-at-large. Her most recent book is TOTAL TRUTH: Liberating Christianity from Its Cultural Captivity. She is also the Francis A. Schaeffer Scholar at the World Journalism Institute.
About the site content:
The information component (of the Pearcey Report) opens the door to the wider world of U.S. and international media -- and to a life beyond the crisis of the moment. Thus, in addition to websites for columnists, think tanks, and activist groups, also available are resources for further study, travel, world cities, and more.
From The Pearcey Report Welcome Statement:
"Our idea of a good time includes the arts, controversies in science, palpatations in politics, plus a timely and strategic look at the news, events, people, and trends of this moment in history. So there is a serious component to what we do in this pages.
And yet, nothing written here shall be deemed more important than how each one of us live and work day in and day out -- How we raise our kids, the choices we make, the culture we create, the assumptions we think through, the behavior we affirm or let slide. A disconnect in areas such as these has been known to turn fairly normal people into seedbeds of opportunism for PR sharpshooters, image magicians, money-grubbers, and influence-mongers of all stripes of religion and irreligion (and ever the twain shall meet). We would just as soon see a world without that junk littering the landscape."
I am in the midst of reading Nancy Pearcey's book Total Truth. I'll write more as soon as I wiggle my thoughts into a coherent lump, but so far, I love it and find myself challenged in a good way. I do recommend it, that much I know.
Nancy Pearcey also spoke at Gutenberg College's Oktoberfuss this last weekend. We spent a foolish fifteen minutes trying to figure out if we could get there, but if you start multiplying gas prices by the number of gallons required to get to Eugene, Oregon, the answer (NO!) becomes perfectly clear. But, we would have chosen to be reckless fools if our soulmates that are moving to Salem, Oregon had already settled in. Nancy Pearcey + Dear Friends at Gutenberg and in Salem + the fresh Oregon air? We could have stolen some grocery money for the journey. Maybe next year we'll join in the fuss.
