Some Thoughts after Nine Lessons and Carols, with Apology for Rambling
Dec 2, 2012 | Richard Lee MC ’14
I don’t always visit Battell Chapel, but when I did, I was almost overcome with emotions at the Nine Lessons and Carols Service. This service, originally conceived at the King’s College Chapel in Cambridge, has been (at least during my three year at Yale) a regularity attended by many students and University faculties. If you have never been to this service before, I strongly implore you to do so next year, or watch the Cambridge live broadcast on BBC.

Proverbs 6:17 Here are six things God hates,and one more that he loathes with a passion:eyes that are arrogant,a tongue that lies,hands that murder the innocent,a heart that hatches evil plots,feet that race down a wicked track,a mouth that lies under oath,a troublemaker in the family.
Submission
Dec 2, 2012 | Jeanni Hwang TD ‘14
I thrive in solitude. I loved independence. I'd convinced myself I was a natural at serene self-assurance. Like a swan.
Often when I'm puzzled about where certain traits of mine come from, I just need to look back a bit. I grew up learning to handle most things myself. My parents never asked me if I had finished my homework before going to bed, if I had documents for them to sign that permitted me to watch PG-13 clips of films in class, which flight I booked online before I booked them.
Kneeling and Hanging: Maundy Thursday and Good Friday
March 29, 2018 | Unkown
It is the Feast of the Passover.
All of the sudden, Jesus gets up from the table, takes off His garments, and girds Himself with a towel. He pours water into the basin and kneels before His closest friends, His twelve beloved disciples. As a servant would to a master, He begins washing the disciples' feet and wiping them with the towel.
“Close Reading”
Nov 29, 2012 | Markus Boesl TD '14
Christians have throughout history maintained the importance of a proper understanding of the scriptures. Hermeneutics, the study of interpretation and interpretive methods, largely originated in an attempt to rightly interpret and understand the Scriptures. Indeed, much of the field we now call Literary Criticism traces its methodological roots to attempts at historical Biblical interpretation.
