- I’m at a local supermarket drinking coffee and writing my dissertation. Right now I’m focusing on the emergence of social science departments at evangelical colleges and new urban churches such as Church of the Savior in Washington, D.C. Lisa is watching the boys this morning. In a few hours we switch places; she’ll spend the afternoon on campus.
- Yesterday Lisa took here first statistics exam of the semester. She said it went fairly well. I looked at the exam afterward. The only words I recognized were the occasional articles like “a,” “the,” and “an.” Click here to see the exam:
Here’s a photo of Andrew. He’s playing peek-a-boo with Jonathan. They’re separated by a glass door.

Nice pic! What an interesting topic. Does that coincide with the development of an evangelical conscience?

Yes, Cris. The period I’m looking at right now is the 1950s. A lot of fundamentalist students went to graduate school and got intrigued with academic disciplines like sociology and political science. Then they returned to evangelical colleges with moderate politics and started up social science departments. A decade or two later is when the evangelical left I’m researching really got going.

Hegel would be uber-happy that your research confirms his thesis about the developement of self-consciousness in individuals and groups.
