The origin of the term "ink zero" was the result of a brainstorming session we had towards the end of my September 2014 visit: to create calligraphic (shodo) brush-stroke paintings in the Japanese style, using sumi-e ink on drawing paper. These works likewise appear here.It's our hope that the joy and creative friendship we've experienced in weaving our hearts and minds together with poetry and visual art communicate both the spontaneity and the successive series of excessively late nights which have hatched this project. Without the energy and flow-the mysterious threading and wending of collaborative friendship-we would have each produced separate works. Instead, we find our combined effort approaches an alpha and omega of mutual lives: living whole, and for the day. It's this poignant and ephemeral spirit we wish to share, and offer our experiment here as one possible approach to haiku publication.Richard GilbertMarch 17, 2015

"I desire mercy, not sacrifice." Echoing Hosea, Jesus defends his embrace of the "unclean" in the Gospel of Matthew, seeming to privilege the prophetic call to justice over the Levitical pursuit of purity. And yet, as missional faith communities are well aware, the tensions and conflicts between holiness and mercy are not so easily resolved. At every turn, it seems that the psychological pull of purity and holiness tempts the church into practices of social exclusion and a Gnostic flight from "the world" into a "too spiritual" spirituality. Moreover, the psychology of purity often lures the church into what psychologists call "The Macbeth Effect," the psychological trap that tempts us into believing that ritual acts of cleansing can replace moral and missional engagement. Finally, time after time, wherever we see churches regulating their common life with the idiom of dirt, disgust, and defilement, we find a predictable wake of dysfunction: ruined self-images, social stigma, and communal conflict. In an unprecedented fusion of psychological science and theological scholarship, Richard Beck describes the pernicious (and largely unnoticed) effects of the psychology of purity upon the life and mission of the church.

In September of 1962 the new Jesuit high school, Brebeuf College Preparatory School for Boys, opened its doors to its first freshman class. This book tells the remarkable story of that school's precarious beginnings and the varsity football team that solidified its place as an academic institution on the far north side of Indianapolis and in the history of Indiana high school athletics. It is a story of sacrifice. It is story of faith. But above all it is a story of pride!
