hmm\u2026 a little contest\u2026 For a 12oz bag of Millstone ground Chocolate Velvet Decaf coffee and \u201cRoaring Silence: Discovering the Mind of Dzogchen\u201d mailed to you from me\u2026<\/p>\n

Who said:<\/p>\n

\u201cSooner or later, the professional philosopher and the professional theologian will be forced to realize what it is that people expect of them. This expectation far surpasses the external trappings of scholarship. People expect answers to the great questions of life: deep down, what does it mean to be a human being?<\/p>\n

Theology can only be missionary when it really goes beyond all traditions, and becomes an appeal to reason itself, in complete openness to truth.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

?<\/p>\n

If no one gets it by Monday I\u2019ll post some clues and just send out the coffee to the winner \ud83d\ude42 Good luck!<\/p>\n
