A very light day.

The Buddhist nation of Bhutan Proposes an ‘Anti-Conversion’ Law that will punish “proselytizing” that “uses coercion or other forms of inducement,” a law Christians fear is so broadly worded that they will be falsely accused.

Adam Kirsch’s takes on the man he calls “the most despicable philosopher in the West” , Slavoj Zizek, who complained that Hitler “was not violent enough.”

An enclosed order of nuns in France now has a record deal after they won a competition with 70 other convents around the world.  The label’s head called their chanting “an immediate escape from the stresses, noise and pace of modern living,” which is true but perhaps not quite the point.

While other nuns go on the run over a threat to send them to retirement home .
