Second Round of Questions.

It is time to move into our second week of dialogue.

While we have yet to see the hoped for levels of explicit participation, our mini-seminar continues unabated. Feel free to jump in anywhere, but please do follow the format so as to avoid clutter.

The method this week is identical to the last. This week we are reading chapters 5-8, with questions by Friday and responses by Sunday.
