Dreher, that is, with a new blog at The American Conservative website. Congratulations to both, and especially all of us, who have missed his voice over the past year. We’ll be working to get him to write over here on occasion as well – there’s always been a nice rocking chair ready for Rod on the Porch.
Hurrah! Thanks for the heads up, Patrick.
Yep, just saw his piece on the GOP debate.
By the way does anyone know what has happened with his sister (she was ill with cancer)? Many of us were praying for her regularly, and when the Templeton Foundation muzzled Rod last year we got no more news of her.
JonF,
See this post by Rod: http://www.amconmag.com/dreher/2011/09/05/rod-dreher-is-back-let-joy-be-unconfined-c/, where he writes: “One more thing: so many of you were incredibly kind to me and my family back when my old blog was up, offering to pray for my sister Ruthie, who was diagnosed in the beginning of 2010 with lung cancer. I am pleased to be able to tell you that she has beaten the odds, and is still with us. She is so overwhelmingly grateful for your prayers (as are we all), and she still needs them, as she has been unable to keep weight on lately.”
Happily, it would seem our prayers were efficacious.
Thanks Patrick! This has put a smile on my face on a rainy and otherwise rather grumpy morning
