He talked about "Speaking up for the Wronged", and about how duty-based ethical language speaks to the obligation of the acting party, and rights-based ethical language speaks to the inherent dignity of the acted-upon party. I particularly liked his explanation of the abuse of moral language. He gave the example of the Afrikaners abusing benevolence and charity language in justifying apartheid, which defended as a protective scheme for the benefit of the black population. He said a similar kind of abuse is made by those who use "rights" language to insist on certain entitled goods. I think I'll write up a summary of the whole thing. It was really great.

Except it WAS just the two of us... ...out for coffee... ...on a date. (giggle) That’s how I felt when I interviewed Steve Bartek.

I note that Wolterstorff was born in a tiny Minnesota town about 9 miles from my own hometown. You might say that Bigelow, his hometown, was a suburb of Worthington, my home. Aside from shared roots, he hung out with a bunch of Dutch Calvinists (Calvin College) so he has been exposed to good theology. I got to hear this guy. I am going to try to be at the lecture tonight.
