I only got to know Paul Farmer over the last year while serving on a committee at our university, but every interaction revealed his generosity. He helped so many people in need around the world. The light shone through that man. May God keep him in peace. nytimes.com/2022/02/21/obi…

An alarming account of how politically driven misinformation fueled by absolute dedication can split communities and crush preservation efforts. What does it take to counter unsubstantiated claims repeated as gospel truth?
