The Durham Chronicles– Castle College

Ben Witherington - Bible and Culture - Mon, 05/20/2013 - 02:24
They say a man’s home is his castle, but what if a castle is a student’s home. Yes, it’s true, the castle which used to be where the prince bishops used to dwell, is now the residence of a whole lot of Durham students, to some of whom I had the pleasure of listening to [...]

A Flowery Day

Missionary Blogs - Sun, 05/19/2013 - 13:01
Last Sunday was Mother's Day in the USA. It was not Mother's Day in Mexico.  Every day is Mother's Day in Mexico, of course!  No, actually Mother's Day is always on May 10th in Mexico.  The occasion...

This past week he told stories from his last trip overseas–around a table and over sandwiches– that still-fresh ink crawling out from under his shirt sleeve. I'd heard the story several times before,...

The Durham Chronicles– Visit to York Part Two

Ben Witherington - Bible and Culture - Sun, 05/19/2013 - 02:08
I have a confession to make— I am a stained glass window junkie. I just love those things. I go to exhibits and museums and cathedrals and ordinary churches just to see them.
