Today’s post features excerpts from a sermon by Dr Gregory L Jackson, retired pastor, university professor and great friend of this blog. Some readers will know him as the blogger at Ichabod, which addresses issues concerning the Lutheran synods in America.

In 2010, Dr Jackson featured a thought-provoking sermon, ‘Thanksgiving is Medicine’, inspired by two texts, 1 Timothy 2:1-8 and Luke 17:11-19.

The Scripture passages and sermon excerpts follow, emphases mine. More here.

University president James Ammons sent band director Julian White a termination letter, citing White's inability to stop the suspected hazing in the band and music department....

FAMU officials acknowledged that 30 students have been kicked off the band this semester due to hazing incidents. There are currently three investigations.

On Tuesday, officials at the Florida A&M University in Tallahassee suspended the famed Marching 100 band and any other ensemble that performs under the supervision of the FAMU music department. The move affects more than 400 students.
