It was grating just to read the text! <BR/><BR/>Still, it never ceases to surprise me how "culturally insensitive" I can be, even in my own family, as I deal with learning about the depths of another person's heart.

Zondervan, not so much.<BR/><BR/>Then again, it's easy to sit at my keyboard and throw stones. Maybe the best response to this situation is just to examine my own feelings and attitudes about race.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-73011235704002061442007-03-07T08:06:00.000-06:002007-03-07T08:06:00.000-06:00Yep, Zondervan's silence is deafening.

My guess is that they're hoping it'll all go away soon, but I think that eventually they're going to have to make some sort of statement about their role.Al Hsuhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04407264726681695790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24215087.post-12190793885263504292007-03-06T16:37:00.000-06:002007-03-06T16:37:00.000-06:00Wow.

Marko's apology and the Skit Guys apology are pretty amazing to read.<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm just being a jerk here, or maybe I don't understand publishing, but the silence from Zondervan struck me as very strange.<BR/><BR/>Marko takes all editorial responsibility. Yet the book is published and distributed by Zondervan. On their site, nothing.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
