Sorry Jonathon - Jonathon asks Are there circumstances in which intense feelings of hatred and animosity towards other human beings can be justified in the Christian tradition? Whilst one could cite many examples of hatred and animosity towards human beings in the Christian tradition, unfortunately Jesus said "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'Do not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with his brother will be subject to judgment." [Matt 5:21-22] and "But I tell you who hear me: Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who mistreat you..."

A second citing - I was pleased to receive an email this morning from the Library Manager at St. Louis Community College, Florissant Valley, MO seeking permission to quote and distribute an extract from my book "Leadership and the Perfect Outpost." Seems my chapter on Why you can't recruit leaders and How to recruit leaders was just what was needed for a paper being delivered at the Special Libraries Association conference, an international organization of corporate librarians and information specialists from a variety of disciplines being held this weekend. Seems my material will be sharing the platform with none other than managment expert Peter Drucker! 8:21:02 AM    Comments ()
