** An apology and an excited share
------------------------------------------------------------
In last week’s email, I accidentally messed up one of the links. Many of you who tried to read our new article about Taylor Swift were sent elsewhere. I’m sorry! I hope you found your way to the piece, but if you didn’t, here is Amy Julia Becker’s reflection on the religious experience of attending a Taylor Swift concert ([link removed]) .
I am so, so happy to share one of our new pieces with you this week. It is a list of recommended Christmas gifts ([link removed]) from the team here at the Century. Part of the reason I love the piece, I’m sure, is that I know and admire the staff here. But I also like the fact that through these quirky (and let’s be honest, often nerdy) gift ideas, you will get to know them a bit more too!
Plus more great new content. Scroll down for Debie Thomas’s ode to learning church history ([link removed]) , Yolanda Pierce’s essay on following her vocational calling ([link removed]) , and much more.
Email me: What is a gift you’re excited to give someone this year?
