Letter To The Editor: About ‘Civility’ In Public Discourse
By RICHARD NEBELThis is in response to two columns by Father Glenn (link, link), two letters to the editor by Khalil Spencer (link, link), a column by Pastor Granillo (link), along with contributions from the prophet Isaiah, St. Luke, St. Paul, and everybody else who has recently written in to the Los Alamos Daily Post discussing “civility” in public discourse.
Now, who could possibly be opposed to “civility” in public discourse? Well, it depends on how it is defined, who defines it, and most importantly, how it is implemented.
The simple fact of the matter is this: “civility” Read More

Los Alamos Stands With Jewish Communities Across America With Candlelight Vigil Monday Evening
COMMUNITY News:
Just since the beginning of this year, 77 Jewish Community Centers (JCCs) — nearly half of all JCCs in the United States — have received bomb threats, as have eight Jewish schools. Jewish cemeteries in St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Rochester, New York have been vandalized. And a bullet was fired into the window of a (thankfully, empty) synagogue classroom in Evansville, Ind.
This surge of anti-semitic acts has left many American Jews, including members of the Los Alamos Jewish community, feeling new anxieties about their own safety and the safety of their communal institutions. Read More

Fr. Glenn: Civility And Graciousness…One More Time
By Rev. Glenn Jones
Immaculate Heart of Mary Catholic Church
Los Alamos
During Lent we read a lot from the prophet Isaiah at our Catholic Mass, and part of our reading Saturday was:
If you remove from your midst oppression,
false accusation and malicious speech;
If you bestow your bread on the hungry
and satisfy the afflicted;
Then light shall rise for you in the darkness,
and the gloom shall become for you like midday;
Then the LORD will guide you always…
(Isaiah 58:9-11 NAB)
That “malicious speech” thing continues to hit home. I rather like the Revised Standard Version (RSV) better; it seems a bit Read More
Pastor Raul Granillo: We Are Missional
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of those who bring good news, who proclaim peace, who bring good tidings, who proclaim salvation, who say to Zion, “Your God reigns!” Isaiah 52:7 (NIV)
It often seems like there is more bad news being broadcast than good news. It’s refreshing when we hear about people selflessly helping others or news about situations that have been changed for the better. The Christian has the opportunity—even the responsibility—to be a part of that good news.
The third core value of the Nazarene church is that we are missional. Read More

Letter To The Editor: IHM Initiates Feasibility Survey
By Rev. Glenn JonesOur community is unique in that so many people come from all over northern New Mexico to work here at LANL—from Chama to Belen and beyond. One of the things lacking in our community is a Christian-based school, which parents might opt to utilize should they feel moved to do so.
Not infrequently, parents—Catholic and not—have queried us as to whether we might one day start a school here at IHM for this purpose.
This letter is to inform parents and our extended community that IHM has initiated a feasibility survey in which Read More

Pastor Raul Granillo: We Are Christian
By PASTOR RAUL GRANILLO
Los Alamos
The disciples were called Christians first at Antioch. (NIV, Acts 11:26)
In the Nazarene Church, one of our core values is that we are a Christian church. Let me be clear to begin with, there are many Christian churches that bring many beautiful, and distinctive characteristics to God’s Church. We have differences, but we are bound by some common beliefs that make us Christian. So, what is a Christian?
The short answer is simply that a Christian is a person who puts their faith and trust in Jesus Christ. This sounds like the obvious answer, but it demands that Read More
