The spiritual saga of William Lobdell
Occasionally — but rarely — daily journalism can result in a piece that rocks the reader to his emotional roots. Such an article is printed today in the Los Angeles Times. It’s by the paper’s religion reporter, William Lobdell, on why he lobbied hard for the job — and why at last he asked to be relieved of it. In powerful ways it is mindful of the Confessions of St. Augustine.
