What Is Your Practice?

On Our Way Rejoicing
To celebrate its sesquicentennial, Central (1858-2008) has gathered a collection of histories, memories and musings from its members as well as former staff and their families. The result is a colorful patchwork quilt of both research and recollection that captures this venerable Atlanta congregation's rich array of ministries, programs and activities through the years. Members and visitors alike receive a warm welcome at Central Presbyterian Church in Atlanta--a church well known for its inclusive hospitality. Within this historic place, at the heart of the old city, all receive strength from the ministries of worship, education, and congregational nurture, and leave equipped to respond to the ever changing needs of the community and the world. Central as it appeared in 1937 provides a backdrop for the Palm Sunday march on Capitol Hill.
The Irrational David
In The Irrational Jesus: Leading the Fully Human Church, Ken Evers-Hood explored how our predictable irrationality can trip us up and how we can adjust for biases. But irrationality isn't all bad.

Because we are like small rational riders astride enormous emotional elephants, leaders must learn how to sing to elephants even as they speak to riders.

Managing Public Computing
"Computers have been a major resource in libraries for many years. From the first OPAC terminal to librarian-assisted DIALOG searching, the role of computers in service to library patrons has come a long way. Today, library public computers serve many different needs of patrons. Public computers are OPACs; gateways to databases, e-books, e-journals, video and audio content; information resources about the library and its many services; e-mail kiosks; and a destination where patrons find numerous software applications. All of these resources are often loaded on each public computer, and patrons flock to them. These computers are fully networked and often configured for, or attached to, numerous peripherals. This public computing environment presents a wide range of challenges to academic and research library staff and administrators. In an environment that demands more of the resources, the infrastructure, and the staff who work to keep public computing the stable and reliable door to all things digital in the library, how are libraries managing and supporting public computing to meet the needs and expectations of today's library user?" --Publisher's Website
Elizabeth Blackburn and the Story of Telomeres
The story of molecular biologist Elizabeth Blackburn and her groundbreaking research on telomeres and what it reveals about the resourceful opportunism that characterizes the best scientific thinking. Molecular biologist Elizabeth Blackburn—one of Time magazine's 100 “Most Influential People in the World” in 2007—made headlines in 2004 when she was dismissed from the President's Council on Bioethics after objecting to the council's call for a moratorium on stem cell research and protesting the suppression of relevant scientific evidence in its final report. But it is Blackburn's groundbreaking work on telomeric DNA, which launched the field of telomere research, that will have the mo...
