Provocations is the online journal and weblog of The Trinity Forum.
Just as ideas have consequences, so faith has implications for life. Our journal is designed to provoke reflection and conversation on faith’s implications for the way we think and act in all the various spheres of life, public and private.
We operate from a broadly Christian perspective, but as with all the activities of The Trinity Forum, we welcome participation from people of all faiths as well as seekers and skeptics.
Most articles will be open for comments, and we invite your thoughtful responses. We don’t expect you to agree (in fact, we hope you won’t always) but we do expect comments to be respectful of the authors and other respondents. We reserve the right to edit or remove postings at any time.
Articles and opinions that appear on our site are the responsibility of their authors and will not necessarily represent the views of The Trinity Forum or its Fellows and Trustees.
Please note that all comments submitted may be posted for public viewing on our website, but submission of a comment does not guarantee it will be posted.
We welcome general comments or other correspondence with the editors at .
Writers guidelines are available on request. We do consider outside submissions for short takes (500 words) as well as longer reviews and feature essays (up to 3000 words).
Housekeeping, Sun 27 Aug 2006
At any given moment there is an orthodoxy, a body of ideas of which it is assumed that all right-thinking people will accept without question. It is not exactly forbidden to say this, that, or the other, but it is "not done" to say it . . . Anyone who challenges the prevailing orthodoxy finds himself silenced with surprising effectiveness. A genuinely unfashionable opinion is almost never given a fair hearing, either in the popular press or in the high-brow periodicals.
George Orwell, introduction to Animal Farm, 1945
