Dr. Haykin recently had the opportunity to address a gathering at the University of Louisville sponsored by The Campus Church on the question: ”Do Muslims and Christians Worship the Same God?” Audio of this lecture is available online here.
Katharine Tynan (1861–1931), the voluminous Irish poetess and novelist who was friends with Gerard Manly Hopkins, that greatest of all 19th century poets, and W.B. Yeats—whom she knew well enough to call “Willie”!—once observed—whether rightly or no, I shall leave for the reader to judge—that when it comes to lectures and debates:
“The Englishman likes to sit still and have his mind improved. The Irish want to improve other people’s minds.”
[Twenty-five Years: Reminiscences (London: Smith, Elder & Co., 1913), 142].
Another new feature of the website is called “Fuller’s Gold.” This page will feature recommended books ready by the Center Director, Michael Haykin, and/or the Junior Fellows of the Center (Paul Brewster, Joseph Harrod, Jeff Robinson, Steve Weaver, and Ryan West). The first posting is an annotated list of favorite books ready by Dr. Haykin and the Junior Fellows in 2010. You can access Fuller’s Gold here.
Dr. Haykin has decided to add a new feature to this page. It will be called “A few acres of snow.” The title of this new feature comes from Voltaire’s evaluation of Canada as “a few acres of snow.” This new feature can be accessed by clicking on the title in the left sidebar. The most recent posting will be visible underneath the heading “A few acres of snow.”
This new page will allow Dr. Haykin the opportunity to reflect as a Canadian Christian on his nation’s history. It is hoped that this feature will benefit Canadians and American readers of this site to learn more about Canada’s rich history and serve as a means of stimulating prayer for the nation. To read more about Dr. Haykin’s desires for this endeavor, please visit the main page of “A few acres of snow.” From there you will be able to access all the posts in this series by the list on the right sidebar of that page. The first post is already up, Claire Welch’s Ontario. Please check this site often for updates to this page, and . . . Enjoy!
