Make time for Sabbath, Bluffton students urged

Dr. Norman Wirzba

American culture generates restlessness, telling people through advertising that what they have-including other people in their lives-isn't good enough. As a result, many get on a "treadmill," always looking for something better, Dr. Norman Wirzba said Nov. 1 at Bluffton University.

Sabbath sets restlessness aside, though, telling those who take time for it that they, and the ones they're with, are gifts from God, added the Duke Divinity School professor.

Nov. 15 Forum to examine Internet's effect

Streeter is the author of the 2010 book "The Net Effect: Romanticism, Capitalism, and the Internet," a study of the role of culture in the social construction of Internet technology.
