What I Learned During a Difficult Night in Saint Paul

Last Monday I learned of a student’s tragic death in Saint Paul. This morning I read this remarkable reflection. The writer and blog are new to me. I’ve chose to “follow” this site.

About Gordon C. Stewart

I've always liked quiet. And, like most people, I've experienced the world's madness. "Be Still! Departure from Collective Madness" (Wipf and Stock Publishers, Jan. 2017) distills 47 years of experiencing stillness and madness as a campus minister and Presbyterian pastor (IL, WI, NY, OH, and MN), poverty criminal law firm executive director, and social commentator. Our cat Lady Barclay reminds me to calm down and be much more still than I would be without her.

  1. Gordon, I read the whole post, then (as it’s my very time-consuming habit to do) read a lengthy portion of the comments. There is a very long (at a guess, a bit longer than the post itself) comment by Rebecca Scott (otherwise unknown to me) that presents another view of the tragedy and of Central and of public schools generally. Her take is valid, I think, but as with many subjects it is easy to find the cracks, potholes etc., it is much harder to find the proper cure. Anyway, two interesting views of the tragedy.
