Dr. Philip Lehman has no theological training so Philables are 'Layman stories' (pun intended) not sermons. Philables are intended to help believers see 'every act is an act of worship'. To see everyday events as teachable moments...little vignettes that can lead to moments of praise, reflection and encouragement. For several years Phil's morning devotions have frequently included writing short stories. Stories that are based on the day's scripture passage or some recent event. This allows him to bring Biblical values and lessons into his daily life in short, relatable stories. Several friends asked him to share these daily stories with them and have since encouraged him to have them published as they have shared them with their family and friends. Each weekday he also emails the new Philable to his niece, a missionary in Thailand and translates them into Spanish and emails them to a pastor in Peru. Other than scripture, ideas for these stories come to Phil in sermons, daily interactions with others, and comments and current events. Philables avoid politics and cultural concerns and conclude with a brief synopsis of a lesson to contemplate or scripture to bring the story into daily life. For example the first Philable ends: "Moriah returned from her mission trip in Australia with a serious fungal foot infection. Her friends and family saw dirty, smelly feet, her doctor saw infected feet, God saw beautiful feet." 'As it is written 'How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the Gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things' (Romans 10:15). Go get your feet dirty...get off the sidewalk. Be in the world but apart from the world. Don't worry about what man sees. Follow Jesus' example.
Evagrius of Pontus (ca. 345-399) was a Greek-speaking monastic thinker and Christian theologian whose works formed the basis for much later reflection on monastic practice and thought in the Christian Near East, in Byzantium, and in the Latin West. His innovative collections of short chapters meant for meditation, scriptural commentaries in the form of scholia, extended discourses, and letters were widely translated and copied. Condemned posthumously by two ecumenical councils as a heretic along with Origen and Didymus of Alexandria, he was revered among Christians to the east of the Byzantine Empire, in Syria and Armenia, while only some of his writings endured in the Latin and Greek churches. A student of the famed bishop-theologians Gregory of Nazianzus and Basil of Caesarea, Evagrius left the service of the urban church and settled in an Egyptian monastic compound. His teachers were veteran monks schooled in the tradition of Clement of Alexandria, Origen, and Anthony, and he enriched their legacy with the experience of the desert and with insight drawn from the entire Greek philosophical tradition, from Plato and Aristotle through Iamblichus. Evagrius and His Legacy brings together essays by eminent scholars who explore selected aspects of Evagrius's life and times and address his far-flung and controversial but long-lasting influence on Latin, Byzantine, and Syriac cultures in antiquity and the Middle Ages. Touching on points relevant to theology, philosophy, history, patristics, literary studies, and manuscript studies, Evagrius and His Legacy is also intended to catalyze further study of Evagrius within as large a context as possible.

Camp William Penn, established in 1863, was the largest federal facility to train black Northern-based soldiers during the Civil War and is steeped in Civil War history. Almost 11,000 troops and officers trained at the sprawling facility outside of Philadelphia and a special officersAa' training school in the city. The camp, backed by the Union League of Philadelphia, was located near the home of antislavery abolitionist Lucretia Mott. The area, today known as Cheltenham TownshipAa's LaMott, was also instrumental in the Underground Railroad, with such great abolitionists as Harriet Tubman and Frederick Douglass addressing the troops. The soldiers were a part of Abraham LincolnAa's Bureau of United States Colored Troops, and several earned the Congressional Medal of Honor for heroics during battle. The vintage photographs in Camp William Penn were obtained from government agencies, universities, historical organizations, and the personal collections of soldiersAa' descendants.
