On the border between France and Spain in the Pyrenees

On the border between France and Spain in the Pyrenees
According to legend, the Brèche was cut by Roland, supposedly a nephew of Charlemagne, with his sword Durendal, while attempting to escape the Saracens during the Battle of Roncevaux Pass. This geological gap, if you will, seems like an appropriate metaphor for my personal attempts at Sense-Making.

An invitation for clergy member participation in a research project regarding the Gulf Oil Spill

The Center for the Study of Information and Religion (CSIR), Kent State University, is conducting research regarding how clergy members around the country addressed the Deepwater Horizon oil spill incident in the Gulf of Mexico in their sermons. Findings will be presented at the 4th Annual Conference of the International Society for the Study of Religion, Nature, and Culture in December 2010. The conference theme is “Living on the Edge”.

CSIR invites and encourages clergy members who mentioned the Gulf oil spill in one or more sermons to take an online and anonymous survey that consists of 16 questions and should take less than 30 minutes to complete. To participate, please send an email message to Dr. Daniel Roland at droland1@kent.edu indicating your willingness to participate in the research project. You will receive a reply that includes a link to the survey website and the necessary password.

CSIR is a research center hosted by the School of Library and Information Science (www.slis.kent.edu). For more information CSIR, please visit our website at http://csir.slis.kent.edu/
