From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia"Pride of Man" is a 1964 song by Hamilton Camp. It is Camp's best-known composition.[1]Rife with apocalyptic imagery and religious language ("Can't you see that flash of fire / Ten times brighter than the day... Shout a warning to the nations that the sword of God is raised / On Babylon that mighty city, rich in treasure, wide in fame... Oh God, the pride of man, broken in the dust again"), the song was written shortly after Camp's initiation into the Subud spiritual movement.[2][3]"Pride of Man" debuted on Camp's 1964 album Paths of Victory, but achieved more notice when covered by Gordon Lightfoot on his 1966 debut album Lightfoot!.[1][4] "Pride of Man" was the opening track on Quicksilver Messenger Service's eponymous 1968 debut album and was released as a single on the B-side of "Dino's Song";[5][6] Rolling Stone described this version as having been "carr[ied] off admirably".[7] Quicksilver Messenger Service regularly performed the song in concert.[1]Gram Parsons' cover was included on the album Another Side of This Life: The Lost Recordings of Gram Parsons,[8] released in 2000 but recorded in 1965 and 1966. The song has been covered by other musicians, such as Tony Rice on Church Street Blues[9] (1983), Ted Quinn on Help Wanted,[10] and Punch Brothers on Hell on Church Street.[11] Camp's version of the song was re-released on the 2006 five-disc compilation album Forever Changing — The Golden Age of Elektra Records - 1963-1973.[12]

“We all kinda secretly at some level wanna use power against our enemies.” — Stephanie Slade Earlier this week, Silicon Valley heretic Paulina Borsook railed against libertarianism. Today, the libertarians get their turn. Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason and the author of Fusionism in which she lays out a contemporary path for American conservatism. For Slade, libertarianism is captured by that New York City intersection where Church Street meets Liberty Street. “Fusionism” = Hayek + Aquinas. It marries the classical liberal defense of individual freedom to the Judeo-Christian tradition of moral virtue. And it's a polemic against what she calls “will-to-power” conservatism of America-first statists like JD Vance and Tucker Carlson. These are Slade's enemies. The real threat to the future of American conservatism. Slade might be politically homeless but is hardly a moderate. She is radically committed to limited government, a pro-life Catholic and, in her words, a “free market girl.” Ronald Reagan championed trickle-down economics. Stephanie Slade fuses that with trickle-down morality. Sladeian rather than Borsookian. Five Takeaways •       Church & Liberty Street. Fusionism, defined: the marriage of the classical liberal political tradition — individual rights, limited government, rule of law — with the Judeo-Christian understanding of virtue as the habits that let human beings flourish within an objective moral order, a lineage running from Aristotle through Aquinas. It is not sectarian: the irreligious Hayek counts as a fusionist for his respect for the tradition's inherited wisdom, and virtue is not partisan either — Hayek and Keynes became close friends at wartime Cambridge, and “Keynes could be a virtuous person.” Slade herself is a practicing Catholic in a famously secular, even atheistic movement — a minority within a minority, which is where the whole fusionist project began. As for William Buckley: conservatism's founding father, not libertarianism's — and, against Andrew's Vidal-flavored skepticism, she defends him as a man who evolved, renounced his early racial views, and declared in the eighties that “America needs a black president” — “imperfect and flawed the way we all are.”•       Economic Liberty Is Individual Liberty. Libertarianism spans freedoms coded right (markets, trade) and left (drug legalization, the bedroom) — and Slade's core claim is that the economic ones are not a separate category: the right to make a living, dispose of your property, and trade across borders is individual freedom, full stop. Crony capitalism — government picking winners — gets no defense. On the culture wars, the fusionist rule is coercion-last: preach from pulpits, persuade, change the culture, and reach for law only when someone's basic rights are violated — which is why she finds abortion restrictions consistent with a hands-off philosophy (two lives in the equation, on her view) while rejecting laws against how others live. Against Mill, via the scholar Jacob Levy: hers is pluralist rather than rationalist liberalism — defending the right of internally illiberal associations, the Catholic Church included, to exist free of the state. And popes get free speech too: she has disagreed with them in print.•       Will-to-Power Conservatism. The book's target, named: a rising creed — especially among the young right — that says “politics is war, and the only question is who's gonna acquire and wield state power against their enemies.” Trump practices it without theory (“not a philosopher… he's just doing what he wants to do” — and, to Andrew's wannabe-mafia-leader framing, “all of the above”); JD Vance theorizes it self-consciously; Tucker Carlson preaches it — “we wanna defeat them and destroy them… unperson them.” Her Reason essay “JD Vance and the Politics of Victimhood” tracks the mechanism: the right adopting the left's victimhood politics — “it works for them. We should do it too” — with straight white men recast as the aggrieved class. The siege mentality underneath is real but “blown out of proportion,” and now functions as “a permission slip to do the things that everybody secretly wants to do.” Hence the episode's pull quote — the most honest line of the hour, because it implicates everyone, herself included.•       What Trump Voters Actually Believe. Slade's data point against the populist-economics story: an Ethics and Public Policy Center poll of 2020 Trump voters found them scattered on economics — split even on trade, with a majority calling international trade good for America, against their candidate's signature position — but united at roughly ninety percent on the cultural siege questions: Christianity under attack, media as an arm of the Democratic Party, rising prejudice against white people. Trumpism, on this evidence, is a cultural phenomenon wearing economic clothes. The deeper commitment survives underneath: at the Heritage Foundation, she asked a man celebrating the GOP's working-class turn whether the party should rethink free markets — he was horrified: “Of course not. We're conservatives. That means we believe in freedom.” Recovering that buried instinct is what she cheerfully calls her quixotic hope. DOGE gets no credit toward it: all for shrinking the state, she had “zero faith” in an initiative that started breaking institutions before understanding them.•       Trickle-Down Morality. Where fusionism meets the moment. On abundance: Klein, Thompson, and past guest Marc Dunkelman share her critique of red tape, but the goal inverts — they want efficient government so it can do more (high-speed rail, Medicare for All); she wants government to do less, and would rather the market decide than “some Ezra Klein type podcaster.” The New Deal, she argues, set America back; China's rail proves only what command economies mandate. On AI and data centers: techno-optimist — the backlash is “quite misguided,” built partly on water-use misconceptions — but with a caveat rare in her camp: “you have to build democratic legitimacy for anything you wanna do in a democratic country.” Kids not writing their own papers is a real problem; the answer is evolved norms, not top-down rules. (No, she didn't use AI to write Fusionism: “Not at all.”) For 2028: Cruz and Rubio are closer than Vance; the true fusionists — Ben Sasse, Justin Amash — were driven out. Her bet is on reviving the ideas and letting them trickle down — which handed Andrew his closer: Reagan had trickle-down economics; Slade has trickle-down morality. About the Guest Stephanie Slade is a senior editor at Reason magazine, where she covers the ins and outs of the American conservative movement. Her writing has also appeared in The New York Times, America, and U.S. News & World Report. A fusionist libertarian and practicing Catholic, she lives in Washington, DC — the belly of the beast, she concedes, but a journalist has to be where the subject matter is.

Clarification: The Free House was incorrectly called a former Anglican church in this audio. It is a former Reformed Church. A popular Nelson pub in a 100-year-old church could face closure under one of the city council's options for a new library, community hub and civic centre. The Free House has become a regular meeting place for many groups including knitters, singers, domino players and mountain bikers. The council is asking people which of three options they prefer - redeveloping the existing council building, or new buildings in Collingwood Street or Church Street. Samantha Gee reports.

In this episode of the Dover Download podcast, Deputy City Manager Christopher Parker chats with Director of Media Services Mike Gillis about what Dover's boards, committees and commissions took up in July.The City Council met twice. They discuss additional scope of work approved at Maglaras Park, tied to the Cochecho waterfront project and paid for with previously identified funding, an approach meant to shorten construction along River Street, Payne Street and Henry Law Avenue. The Council also approved added outdoor pool expenses within the original bonded amount, awarded a bid extending pedestrian-level lighting south along Central Avenue, and directed Dover Business and Industrial Development Authority land sale proceeds to the Light Up Dover initiative and to a new Dover Arts Commission program placing rotating sculptures at ten downtown locations. Councilors also funded ADA improvements at Sullivan Field and Woodland Park, set 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. voting hours for the September primary and November general election, and held annual property appraisal hearings. Separately, after City Manager J. Michael Joyal Jr. announced his December retirement, the Council said it will first look internally for a successor.At its single July meeting, the Planning Board continued talks on the cottages at Back River Road, approved a Church Street conditional use permit and a Dover Point subdivision, and posted annual zoning amendments, including proposed transfer of development rights changes that would tie density to neighborhood character.The School Board approved a one-year teachers' contract to stagger bargaining cycles and reviewed the first year of the school device ban.

Tyler Anbinder examines the remarkable industrial success of Phelan and Collender, who mass-produced high-quality billiard tables. Their innovation in table cushions led to a dominant market position, and they famously gifted a custom gold-ornamented table to Ulysses S. Grant. Their massive factory on 10th Avenue symbolized the pinnacle of Irishentrepreneurial achievement. Anbinder concludes by debunking the myth that the famine Irish were permanently stuck in poverty. His research reveals they were a highly ambitious and determined group who successfully utilized networking and grit to climb the socioeconomic ladder in the United States. (8)1861 CHURCH STREET

Pastor Zach Stiefel sits down with Dr. Kave Green to continue our Holy Week journey through the Gospel of Matthew. Today's discussion focuses on Matthew 27:15–26 as they reflect on Good Friday. Zach and Kave explore powerful questions from this passage: How did God speak through Pilate's wife? What happened to Barabbas next? In what way are we like Barabbas? As we remember the depth of Christ's sacrifice, we invite you to join First Grapevine Methodist Church this Easter Sunday for a time of worship and celebration. Easter Sunday Services: 7:30 AM – Sunrise Service (Botanical Garden) 8:30 AM – Traditional Service (Sanctuary, full orchestra & choir) 9:45 AM – Contemporary Service (Botanical Garden) 11:00 AM – Traditional Service (Sanctuary, full orchestra & choir) Come celebrate the hope and victory of Easter with us!

Pastor Zach Stiefel and Dr. Keva Green have a discussion on one of the most intimate and weighty moments in the Gospel narrative—Gospel of Matthew 26:17–28, the Last Supper. That scene isn't just a historical event; it's written in a way that invites you to feel what it was like in the room. First, imagine the setting: a Passover meal, something deeply familiar to every disciple. This wasn't random—it ties directly to Passover, a celebration of deliverance. Then Jesus reframes it in real time. Bread and wine—ordinary elements—suddenly become symbols of His body and blood. That shift alone would have been disorienting and profound. Then comes the emotional weight: When Jesus says one of them will betray Him, every disciple asks, “Is it I, Lord?” That question reveals something deeply human: uncertainty about their own hearts. They don't point fingers—they look inward. Judas' presence adds tension. Jesus knows yet still shares the meal with him. That's a powerful picture of grace offered even in betrayal. Zach and Keva continue their discussion with Jesus washing the disciples' feet (from Gospel of John 13). When you place that alongside Matthew 26, it deepens the moment: the one they call Lord takes the posture of a servant. In that culture, foot-washing was lowly work. The shock in the room must have been real confusion mixed with awe. Being “plugged into” Jesus—connects directly to what's happening there. The Last Supper isn't just about remembering; it's about participation: Staying close. Receiving from Him. Letting Him redefine what life, leadership, and love look like. A helpful way to think about it: the disciples were physically in the room, but even they were still learning what it meant to truly abide. That idea gets fully expressed later in Gospel of John, “abide in me.” Imagining the room isn't just about visuals—it's about tension, humility, confusion, love, and an invitation: to move from just being near Jesus… to being deeply connected to Him.

Pastor Zach Stiefel sits down with Children's Director Lucy Magill to continue our series of Holy Week discussions as we walk through the Gospel of Matthew. This conversation reflects on “Silent Wednesday” during Holy Week—a day that feels quiet, almost uneventful on the surface, yet deeply meaningful beneath it. Zach and Lucy begin with Jesus' teaching in Matthew 22:34–40, where He gives the greatest commandment: to love God—heart, soul, and mind. This sets the tone for everything that follows. Before the intensity of the cross, Jesus centers things on relationship, not activity. They then move to Matthew 26:1–5, where the tension is building behind the scenes. While not much appears to be happening publicly, significant things are unfolding quietly—plans are forming, and Jesus is preparing internally for what's ahead. Key ideas from the discussion: 1. The meaning of “Silent Wednesday” It's called “silent” because there's no major recorded public event. But that silence isn't emptiness—it's intentional. Jesus uses this time to rest, reflect, and prepare for Passover and ultimately the cross. It reminds us that not all important spiritual moments are visible or dramatic. 2. A deeply personal commandment The phrase “You shall love the Lord your God…” isn't abstract—it's relational. Lucy highlights how even a simple prayer like “Hey God” shows that faith starts with personal connection, not performance or perfection. 3. Trusting God in the quiet One of the hardest parts of faith is when nothing seems to be happening—no clear answers, no big emotional experiences. Silent Wednesday represents those seasons. The question becomes: Can you trust God when He feels quiet? 4. Spiritual formation isn't always loud Not every moment with God is powerful or obvious. Some of the most important growth happens in stillness, waiting, and unseen preparation—just like this day in Jesus' life.

Pastor Zach Stiefel sits down with contemporary worship leader Gary Edwards to continue our Holy Week journey through the Gospel of Matthew. In this episode, they reflect on Chapter 21 and the unfolding tension of Tuesday—a day marked by overturned tables, a cursed fig tree, and mounting conflict that points toward the cross. This conversation explores what it means to be “mid-bloom”—that in-between space where growth is happening, but fullness hasn't yet arrived. It's a place of tension, testing, and transformation. Gary shares practical and thought-provoking insights for ministry and everyday faith: Repetition brings assimilation — spiritual growth requires consistency. There's a difference between working your gift and working your gift with God — calling without connection leads to emptiness. Mastery doesn't mean relationship — skill alone isn't intimacy with God. This ain't Disney—this is real life, and real life requires real relationships — faith is not polished perfection, but authentic.

Pastor Zach Stiefel and Youth Director Josh Ingram kick off a meaningful Holy Week series by walking through Matthew 21, setting the stage for the days leading to Easter. They reflect on the powerful reminder: “If you're not plugged in, you're not powered.” Just like the fig tree Jesus curses, a life disconnected from God may look alive—but bears no real fruit. The conversation also highlights the sharp shift from the celebration of Palm Sunday to what they call “Fist Monday”—a moment where Jesus turns over tables in the temple, revealing His passion for true worship and a heart aligned with God. They also introduce the idea of a breath prayer—a simple, intentional way to stay connected to God throughout your day by pairing short prayers with your breathing. A thoughtful and practical start to reflecting on Holy Week and what it means to stay spiritually connected.

In this session, Pastor Zach Stiefel and Dr. Keva Green walk through Gospel of John 6:35–40, unpacking Jesus' declaration as the “Bread of Life.” They explore what it means to hunger and thirst for righteousness, the promise that those who come to Christ will never be cast out, and the assurance of eternal life for those who believe. They also introduce and discuss the SOAP method as a practical tool for daily Scripture study: S – Scripture: Write out the passage you're reading. O – Observation: Note what stands out—key themes, repeated words, context, or questions. A – Application: Reflect on how the passage applies personally to your life. P – Prayer: Respond to God in prayer based on what you've read. Together, they model how John 6:35–40 can be studied using SOAP, encouraging believers to develop a consistent, thoughtful approach to engaging with Scripture on a daily basis.

Welcome to our new segment, Sydney @ 6. Oscar Piastri sent Sydney Olympian Phoebe (from Castlecrag) the sweetest good luck message ahead of her first Winter Olympics competing in Slalom and Giant Slalom, and it brought her to tears. A developer just paid $1.25 million at auction for a 4-metre wide, 110sqm driveway on Church Street in Newtown—yes, just the driveway—because Sydney's property market is completely cooked. Chappell Roan annoyed Sydney fans at Laneway Festival by refusing to do a shoey, which is honestly un-Australian. And Bad Bunny announced his Sydney tour dates at ENGIE Stadium for February 28 and March 1 right after his Super Bowl halftime show performance. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
