Many thanks for this rich piece. Much to ponder on. I look forward to more. I discovered your writings only recently through Rod Dreher's blogs. I saw a video of a recent interview you gave on which you touched on 'Techno-gnosticism' and the destruction of so much of England and was reminded of C.S. Lewis's 'That hideous strength' the third novel of his science-fiction trilogy first published in 1945.. It treats fictionally many of the themes in his prophetic 'The Abolition of Man'. I must have first read the novel 30 years ago and thought it a bit OTT then but now it just seems so prescient, even to the evil genius whose brain is kept alive after his guillotining. If you don't know it already I'd recommend it.

I'd also like to welcome you as a Christian.

"How to keep from becoming evil? It’s the question of our times." — Your awareness of this is what convinced me to subscribe. I believe we are in that age (or - far less likely - perhaps merely "an age") where the voice from heaven crying "Come out of her My people, lest you share in her sins, and receive of her plagues" (Rev. 18:4) calls us to disengage from the great harlot, from the maelstrom. At the same time, there is great, even eternal, value in finding voices who can see even "through a glass darkly." Looking forward to the journey with you, for as long as we can endure, or until the Lord returns, whichever happens first.
