It ran something like this. People's commitment to institutions is vanishing, their suspicions and cynicism are growing, yet their beliefs are not necessarily waning. This is something which cuts across organisations, not merely the Church.Thomas O.

And some markets are much, much more receptive than others. A $10 test ad reveals a lot. There is a very keen interest in philosophy, at least my kind of philosophy, although I don't know how that translates into sales. The data I receive are very limited there.Thomas O.

It's in their gene make up. As with people who only see the 'sunny side' of every adversity, so there are people who, by nature, only see the downside.

This included some fairly tame theologians, by some standards. I went looking for a book by Karl Barth, and they said he was not approved. In those days, a seminary library was one's book world, unlike now. <br /><br />It went beyond that, though. Faculty formally questioned me once, as to how I had come to use certain language. For example, I had referred to a 'universe of discourse'. Students who seemed to become an ill fit with the seminary were suspended from giving input until further notice.<br /><br />You have experience of such things on a grander scale.
