It’s one thing to find views repugnant. It’s another thing to claim that — to hear them constitute a kind of injury that no reasonable person should be expected to stand up to. That’s theatrical because it’s not true. Nobody is hurt in that immediate, lasting and intolerable way by some words that a person stands up and addresses, in the abstract, to an audience at a microphone.
— John McWhorter, interviewed by Chris Martin for Episode 17 of the “Half Hour of Heterodoxy” podcast, “John McWhorter, Politics and Protest”, Heterodox Academy, December 14, 2017
The full transcript of this interview (“John McWhorter, Politics and Protest”) can be found here.
We are currently having a full service on the first Sunday of each month, and discussing a different short reading each of the remaining Sundays.
On Sunday, 22 September, we will open with a very brief service and chalice lighting, after which members will guide us through our discussion. This week’s reading is John McWhorter’s 2017 interview “Episode 17: John McWhorter, Poitics and Protest“. I encourage all to read the full source of the excerpt included in this announcement.
