Frank Warren, founder and cura- tor of www.postsecret.com, spoke Sept. 25 at Luther College’s Center for Faith and Life in Decorah, Iowa. Begun in 2004, Warren’s project invites people to anonymously mail a secret of theirs to him on a home- made postcard. Of the more than 500,000 postcards received so far, he shares select entries with the PostSe- cret community via his website and five books, including PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death, and God (William Morrow, 2009). Because so many submissions convey suicidal thoughts or emotional distress, the site also promotes suicide-prevention resources.


Lenoir-Rhyne University, Hickory, N.C., sponsored Bach Festival Days, four days of music concerts, lectures and worship in October. Church musicians and Bach experts Russell Stinson from Lyon College, Bates- ville, Ark., and Michael Costello, cantor of Grace Lutheran Church and School, River Forest, Ill., per- formed.
