Word on Fire

The Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) craze has produced massive casualties. Cambridge professor Jason Arday is the latest. Arday took his life amid revelations of a long history of academic plagiarism and biographical fabrication. His death is tragic, especially since he leaves behind a wife and children. But the scandal that preceded it was entirely avoidable. Critics of DEI have rightly focused on its victims.

Four years ago, in my first piece for Evangelization & Culture Online, I discussed the then announced conversion to Catholicism of one of the most popular Christian apologists on Youtube, Cameron Bertuzzi. One of the salient features of Bertuzzi’s conversion was the role that apologetical argument played in it. In particular, Cameron was convinced of the doctrine of the papacy by the biblical typological argument connecting St. Peter with Eliakim, an Old Testament figure mentioned in Isaiah 22.

As I was lecturing earlier this week to a classroom of mostly native Tennesseans, a couple of students suddenly burst aloud: “Dolly Parton is dead!” I was explaining the concept of the “common good” and identifying possible common goods that people share across left and right (in a class pretty evenly split between left and right).
