A new school for Kabala
A new school for Kabala
Oct 9, 2024 3:23 AM

Oprah isn’t the only one opening a school in Africa. Fraser Valley Christian High School and Surrey Christian School in Canada have partnered together with Christian Extension Services in Sierra Leone, Africa to build a Christian Primary School in Kabala. This partnership is one of the initiatives I highlighted in a previous Acton Commentary.

The partnership has released its first newsletter (PDF here), which chronicles recent news and events, including prayer requests and special opportunities for donation.

Also be sure to keep up with the project at the blog administered on location in Sierra Leone, “A New School for Kabala.”

China has a lawless government
There’s rarely a day when China isn’t featured prominently in the news. Once upon a time, most of that coverage was about China’s rise out of poverty. Now, however, greater attention is being given to some decidedly negative developments. These include the country’s growing economic problems, its systematic violations of religious liberty, or the efforts to suppress protestors in Hong Kong. In one sense, the theme linking all these problems is that of authoritarianism, verging on totalitarianism. That in turn...
The 101 greatest philosophers of liberty (and Lord Acton is #70)
The Acton Institute’s namesake, Lord Acton, finds himself honored in a new book about the philosophers who cultivated the intellectual seeds that blossomed into Western civilization. Lord John Dalberg-Acton ranks at number 70, not because he had less influence on liberty than 69 others, but because the new collection unfolds in chronological order. Eamonn Butler provides brief, encyclopedic entries of figures from Pericles to Gary Becker in his newest book, School of Thought – 101 Great Liberal Thinkers, published by...
Musk vs. Ma on AI: Why the future of work is bright
Given the breakneck pace of improvements in automation and artificial intelligence, fears about job loss and human obsolescence are taking increasing space in the cultural imagination. The question looms: What is the future of human work in a technological age? At the recent World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, China, Tesla’s Elon Musk and Alibaba’s Jack Ma weighed in on the topic—offering conflicting perspectives and predictions. For Ma, machine learning offers an opportunity not just to improve products and services,...
Rev. Robert Sirico discusses Kanye West on Fox News (video)
His very public conversion and groundbreaking Gospel CD have made Kanye West perhaps the most conspicuous, and unlikely, champion of faith and moral values in America today. Yesterday, TV’s most-watched cable news channel turned to Acton Institute founder Rev. Robert Sirico to analyze West’s sincerity and impact on America’s most secular generation. West’s public witness “goes right to the heart of what is wrong in our culture – the materialism, the oversexualization of the culture, the disrespect for the dignity...

Public school installs stained glass window celebrating ‘Christian socialist’
When a public school receives a stained glass window from a church, it typically stirs controversy about the separation of church and state. Yet an elementary school has recently installed a window celebrating a self-described “Christian socialist.” Willard Elementary School in Winchester, Indiana, has festooned its cafeteria with a window donated by the town’s First United Methodist Church, depicting the woman whose name the school bears. Frances E. Willard (1839-1898) so empowered women through education that the Evanston College for...
The temptation of propaganda
Law & Liberty just published a talk I gave at the Philadelphia Society meeting earlier this year on conservatism and the future of truth. We live in an age of propaganda. We are saturated by it from advertising, intrusive technology, and the latest politically correct fashion. We also live in a time that requires us to make lots of distinctions to plex problems, which propaganda makes almost impossible. While all ages and people are tempted by what Josef Pieper calls...
The myth of the young entrepreneur
Jeffrey Tucker wrote a good piece at The American Institute for Economic Research. It is an important reminder about how hard business is and how the idea that most entrepreneurs are young is a myth. When I mention to people that the average of age of entrepreneurs is not the twenties, but around forty, they are at first surprised. After all, is Mark Zuckerberg young? Yes, but he was the outlier. Of course, once we think about it, it makes...
College student sets himself on fire for socialism
On Friday, November 8, a 22-year-old French college student set himself on fire outside the government agency that administers university housing and living allowances. The reason? The government had revoked his monthly benefits after he failed his courses for the second year in a row. His suicide attempt touched off violent national protests that the government is perpetrating “violence” against the students of France’s tuition-free universities, because it reduced students’ monthly living stipend by $10 a month. The 22 year...
Guarding our hearts in an age of mass and social media
I try to guard my attention closely for, as King Solomon admonishes, “Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it.” (Proverbs 4:23). I don’t always succeed, but on my best days I focus on things I truly wish to understand through diligent study and things which I am able to do something about. The rest I trust to God and His providence. As Eli Lapp instructs his grandson in the film Witness, “What you take...
