My inspiration for this resolution came from an unexpected source: the Faunce Arch Preacher, one of College Hill’s most active evangelicals. Assuming that the Faunce Arch Preacher’s goal is to convert members of the Brown student body, it feels like he is pursuing a fruitless endeavor. And yet, the Faunce Arch Preacher is consistently standing outside the arch — Bible in hand — speaking what we can only assume to be his truth. While preaching isn’t necessarily the next activity on my to-do list, the Faunce Arch Preacher should inspire us all to pursue our own fruitless passions, whatever they may be. We should all be inspired by the Faunce Arch Preacher to break down Brown’s culture of hyper-productivity in favor of one that embraces the power of leisure.
