Welcome

Brothers and Sisters -

Hello, and welcome to my blog, Vicit Agnus Noster. The title of this blog is derived from an old Moravian creed: "Vicit Agnus Noster, Eum Sequamur," which translates, "Our Lamb has conquered; let us follow him." The Moravians, both past and present, represent a commitment to peacemaking and a zeal for world mission. I share these two interests, and much of my future posts will concern one or both of them (I believe they are inextricably related). I would like this blog to be a forum for the free exchange of ideas among friends. Although computer-mediated social interaction is not without its problems, I am glad to have the opportunity to communicate with far-flung friends, and to connect with new friends who share these intersets and who can offer challenges, meditations, questions, and comments. My interests also include literature, particularly twentieth-century American literature - it illumines in narrative forms the ideas and cultural myths that have shaped and mis-shaped me.

Anyhow, come post and read and contribute.

Your Friend to the Bitter End,
