I am a recent graduate of Duke Divinity School and am emailing you to let you know that I will be visiting Harvard on Monday and Tuesday to talk to students who may be interested in seminary or theological studies at a graduate level. In the past, we have had some exceptional students come to Duke from Harvard, and we would like to continue to strengthen that relationship. I will have a small seminar room setup from 12 to 1:30pm on Tuesday through career services, but I wanted to let you all know in case you knew of specific students who might be interested in talking a little more about Duke Divinity’s program. If you do, I would be happy for you to pass on my information and let them know that I would be available to meet for coffee throughout the day.

I Will Seriously Consider Paying Your Tuition if You Write Your Thesis on Religion in The Simpsons

by David Sackstein

Dear Friends, I never stopped loving The Simpsons. I nearly died laughing when I saw this: http://youtu.be/Gkf4E19Lzyk Enjoy and please let me know what you think. L'shalom, David P.S. I'm serious. Religion in the Simpsons is incredibly well developed. Check out what the most reliable source on the web, Wikipedia, has to say about it. I especially like the development of the Presbylutheran Church.
