As the name advertises, this outpost aimed to minister to the Hurons (Wyandot); to that end, Brebeuf — who learned the local tongue well enough to write a catechism and a dictionary — composed...

Former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie seems to be keeping hope alive while looking for that mysterious lane within the Republican primary field that eluded him in 2016. As most observers would note, Christe made a mistake in his choice to pass on running against President Obama in 2012, a race that was better timed to coincide with his political stardom. He was popular at the time and his in-your-face style of politics, in the pre-Trump era, was playing well with conservatives looking for a fighter. Alas, Christie demurred in 2012 and instead joined the race in 2016 where he...

It was no accident that … our children had to show up right in the world. They carried a burden of making sure they weren’t messy, because it wouldn’t have been laughed off. It wouldn’t have been just, ‘Oh, it’s youthful, whatever.’ It would have been some bigger statement about the soul of Black folks,” Obama said in her recently launched...
