How were people On Call in Culture 165 years ago?
How were people On Call in Culture 165 years ago?
Dec 30, 2024 2:35 PM

What is so special about 1837? That was the year Abraham Kuyper was born. September 29th is his 165th birthday. So we thought we would go back to 1837 and see how people were being On Call in Culture back then.

We don’t know if they were all believers on a mission to bless the world, but by seeing what was going on 165 years ago, we hope you are encouraged to engage your world in 2012!

How did people bless the world in 1837?

• Charles Goodyear received his first rubber patent

• Oliver Twist is published by Charles Dickens

• Samuel Morse showcased the electric telegraph for the first time

• Charles Tiffany opened his jewelry store

• The steam-powered threshing machine was patented

• Issac Pitman invented the steno system

Catharsis and ‘Catching Fire’
Today at Ethika Politika, Elyse Buffenbarger weighs in on violence and voyeurism in The Hunger Games: Flipping between reality television and footage of the war in Iraq, Susan Collins was inspired to pen The Hunger Games. The dystopian young adult trilogy has been a runaway success both of page and screen: book sales number in the tens of millions, and in 2012, the first film took in nearly $700 million worldwide. (The next film, Catching Fire, releases tomorrow.) Initially, I...
‘They’re Always Coming To You Offering You More Programs’
An exceedingly honest woman called into an Austin, Texas, radio talk show, KLBJ, to discuss why she chooses not to work. She, her husband and three children rely on tax dollars for shelter, utilities and food. She admits that her parents did not work either, and that free money and programs were offered all the time. And what’s wrong with that? [product sku=1177] ...
‘Get Your Hands Dirty’: The Importance of a Rightly Ordered Life
At the Values & Capitalism blog, Jacqueline Otto Isaacs reviews Jordan Ballor’s Get Your Hands Dirty. Isaacs explains how Ballor articulates a vision for the proper orientation for our lives: In his recent release, “Get Your Hands Dirty,” Jordan Ballor of the Acton Institute lays out a clear case for why Christians ought to have rightly ordered lives and what that might look like. While the book took shape around a collection of essays, this message was as hard to...
Israel Really Wants A King (Part I)
I recently posted some thoughts at The Power Blog on “God’s Problem With Centralized Power”, which took a macro view of what I believe to be God’s clear disdain for mankind pursuing their own ends instead of His articulated purposes when es to how we organize munally. This time I want to highlight a specific, micro-level example of that same general idea. The story of Israel’s demand for a king inI Samuel 8contains so many relevant, interesting nuggets of insight...
Don’t Fret About the Premium Increases, You Can Just Pay More in Taxes to Subsidize Yourself
Yesterday I was reading an article about Obamacare in the Washington Post. . . Whether they know about that financial help is a different question, as many have had trouble using HealthCare.gov to figure out how much insurance would cost under the Affordable Care Act. And the study does not include information on whether those subsides would lead to lower premiums for shoppers buying in the health law’s new exchanges. “There’s no question that when people get better coverage it...
‘Tea Party Catholic’ Now Available as an eBook
Samuel Gregg’s latest, Tea Party Catholic, is now available for the Kindle. You can buy this version through Amazon, or if you prefer the paper version, visit Robert P George, professor of jurisprudence at Princeton University says, “The book is as carefully and, indeed, rigorously argued as it is provocatively titled. It is a great resource for anyone—Catholic or not—who wants to know what the Church really teaches about the moral requirements of the socio-economic and political orders.” If you...
Evangelicalism, Large Cities, and the ‘Other’ Christians
One of the profound realities of theology and ecclesiastical enclaves in which American Christians live is each tribal subculture views the world as if Christianity begins and ends with their tribe. Evangelicals are a great example of this trend. Some evangelicals write as if they are the only Christians doing God’s work in the world. For example, Joy Allmond recently wrote a perplexing article about New York City asking “Is New York City on the Brink of a Great Awakening?”...
‘Good Morning, I’m A Rapist; Can You Help Me Out Here?’
How easy is it for a 33 year old man to buy Plan B for his 15 year old “girlfriend?” Not too hard at all. In fact, the folks in this video from Students for Life don’t bat an eye – even when he makes it clear how old he is and how young his “girlfriend” is. Keep in mind that there is no state in the U.S. where it is legal for a 33 year old to have sexual...
So, Why Exactly Doesn’t Healthcare.gov Work?
The Obama Administration has stated that 106,000 people have managed to sign up for health care on the Healthcare.gov site, a site 3-1/2 years in the making. Both HHS Director Kathleen Sebelius and Deputy Chief Information Officer for the Center for Medicare & Medicaid Services, Henry Cho, have been grilled by mittees as to the incredibly poor performance of the website. What exactly went wrong? NPR’s All Tech Considered breaks it down. There are two popular methods of software development....
Key Injunction Won In HHS Case
The Catholic Dioceses of Pittsburgh and Erie, along with several nonprofit groups, have won a preliminary injunction against implementing the HHS mandate. U.S. District Judge Arthur J. Schwab granted an injunction in favor of these organizations. The injunction allows them to continue to offer insurance that doesn’t include contraception, sterilization and abortion-inducing drugs while litigation continues. Without the injunction, the insurance administrators for the organizations — though not the dioceses themselves — would have had to start providing the coverage...
