Reader R.L.A. Schaefer of Dubuque, Iowa has some further thoughts on Brian Lamb:

Matt May's fine article on Brian Lamb called up these thoughts: Lawrence Cunningham's book, The Catholic Heritage, pinpointed dominant models of holiness in historical eras. I concluded that a model for the next kind of saint would be Brian Lamb, who started C—Span. He is a meditator in various senses of the word. Protestant theologian Karl Barth said one should preach with the Bible in one hand and a newspaper in the other. One could amend that and say "a newspaper or a book or tv content."
