Interested in the corporate links and allignments between churches and the worlds of investment and insurance. And the ethical and conflict-of-interest questions that these affiliations, whether formal or cultural, might raise. So much ground for greater public awareness in this I feel - and it's interesting to see how little presence this has on wiki.

I am not alone in finding the glassware of Michael Harris powerfully evocative and magical. Just wish I could afford to buy his originals. Although I do have one 'angelfish vase', incorrectly called axehead vases by some specialists and collectors. These things matter.

There are several unread Slavoj Žižeks on my bookshelf. I enjoyed "The Fragile Absolute: Or, Why Is the Christian Legacy Worth Fighting For?".
