“I am interested in Scripture and theology. This is an interest that I can assume I would share with a pastor, so that makes me a little bit prone to use that kind of character, perhaps, just at the moment. Then there is also the fact that, having been a church member for many years, I am very aware of how much pastors enrich people's experience, people for whom they are significant. I know that it's a kind of custom of American literature and culture to slang them. I don't think there is any reason why that needs to be persisted in.” PeopleThinkingKnowsNeedsYearsKindLittlesI CanReasonMomentsCharacterFactsUseCultureLiteratureBitsInterestChurchShareMembersLittle BitAssumingScriptureSignificantTheologyReason WhyCustomsPastorRich PeopleAmerican LiteratureSlangChurch Members Author:Marilynne Robinson

“What a lost person needs is a map of the territory, with his own position marked on it so he can see where he is in relation to everything else. Literature is not only a mirror; it is also a map, a geography of the mind. Our literature is one such map, if we can learn to read it as our literature, as the product of who and where we have been. We need such a map desperately, we need to know about here, because here is where we live. For the members of a country or a culture, shared knowledge of their place, their here, is not a luxury but a necessity. Without that knowledge we will not survive.” IfsKnowsNeedsMindPersonsHas BeensCountryCultureLiteratureLostPositionProductsMembersRelationMirrorsLuxuryMapsTerritoryGeographyLost Person Author:Margaret Atwood
