Substance & Tactics at JVP (Response to Mira Sucharov)
Mira Sucharov is one of the best writers in North America on the left about the contemporary politics in and about Israel and Palestine. Having moved off from a liberal Zionist (2 State Solution) point of political view, she … Continue reading
That Empty Church in Rural Maryland
I’ve been driving by this church for some several years now on my annual drives down to rural Maryland. This time there was time to get out of the car to get a feel for the place. I’ve always been … Continue reading

MD543 (Between MD440 and US1)
Feels like the deep South with the trees, rolling hills, and electric lines around and about in northeast Maryland. The rolling landscape is soft and giving, no doubt deceptively.
Spot the Churches (Ocean Parkway)
“Let’s play spot the churches,” quips a funny person on a drive down Ocean Parkway to Brighton Beach the other week. None were to be seen, except a single van belonging to Champions for Christ. In the meantime, here’s what … Continue reading
