This is the kind of regretful squandering-of resources, time, ambition, and land-that underpins Jenny Offill’s latest novel, Weather. The rugged, sacred terrain that, in Bears Ears’ case, had been protected from coal mining and other destructive activities just a year prior was once again made vulnerable to extraction. By executive order, Bears Ears’ territory was slashed by nearly 85 percent, and Grand Staircase-Escalante, another national monument, was reduced by almost 45 percent and separated into three units. ![]() ![]() Then there was the assault on Southern Utah, with its red rock canyons, juniper groves, and countless artifacts of the region’s indigenous people.

All I could see was Cas-Cas fighting ghosts, Cas pining after Anna, Anna fighting for their love just as strongly as Cas was, Cas’s broken whispers for Anna…it was unbelievable how strongly I fell in love with these characters. I would be typing invoices at work, but I wasn’t really typing invoices at work. It would still be years before I’d go up against ghosts of any real strength-ghosts like Anna Korlov, the girl who could have torn out my spine anytime she liked, but wound up saving me instead.Ī beautiful fantasy created to both appeal to your imagination and tug on your heartstrings, Blake succeeded by invading my mind and clouding my vision-this series was all I cared about and all I could see. ![]() What appeals to your taste, your style, your mood, and ultimately what makes you happy.Īnd these books made me so sooo happy.

Tutu danced across the theological discord and poignantly proclaimed African and Black theology to be “soulmates” in his essay “Black Theology/African Theology-Soul Mates or Antagonists?” He writes: Where Cone felt that African theology was often apolitical and had little to offer the political and existential struggles of Black peoples, Mbiti argued that Cone’s Black theology was too concerned with Blackness and political liberation, and thus lacked Christianity’s salvific joy and theological revelation. Cone, the giant of Black Liberation Theology, and Kenyan-born John Mbiti, the father of African theology, at a high point for global Black solidarity. ![]() At issue was the discord between American James H. Two years after Ibrahim and Dyani sounded “Ntsikana’s Bell”-the sonic invocation of the complex and often conflicting theological relationship between Africa and Afro-Diaspora-the late Tata Desmond Mpilo Tutu, a theological jazzman known for his lively preaching and improvised dance, intervened in a simmering theological divide.
