Acton University 2008 is in full gear as we proceed with the second full day of classes. Our staff is working hard at capturing audio from the conference, which you can keep abreast of here.
And our attendees are continuing their excellent work in their commitments to attend each session and bring critically thoughtful engagement with the topics. Highlights of the blogging from Day 2 include:
- Hunter Baker, blogging at the American Spectator blog and Southern Appeal,
- “The Next Big Center-Right Think Tank.” Hunter manages to include a goodly number of compliments to the Acton Institute in a brief bit of (cyber)space.
- Tex at Mere Orthodoxy,
- “Christianity and Globalization: A Unity in Diversity.”
Tex produces and extended reflection on the contemporary Christian response to the globalization phenomenon, taking a point of departure in Dr. Samuel Gregg’s morning lecture, “Theology and the History of Globalization.” - “Mustafa Akyol on the Basic Compatibility of Islam with Free Market Economy.” Tex blogs about a talk given by Mustafa Akyol, a Turkish journalist and blogger.
- “Christianity and Globalization: A Unity in Diversity.”
- Fr. Z at WDTPRS,
- “Acton University: Day 2.” He takes note of the “scuffle” going on in the comment boxes on the Day 1 post.
- Troy Camplin at Interdisciplinary World,
