I like his talk about also embracing the three opposite virtues of diligence, patience, and humility.

Incidentally, Wall is a member of the Church of the Nazarene, which is one of the Wesleyan holiness denominations.

I’m proud of Christianity—Stack Exchange which so far has done better than most places where Christianity is on-topic in terms of civility. I wish I could disagree so that I could write a more interesting comment!

This post is a great segue into next month’s topic: Christianity in the workplace.

“Humility, gentleness, and patience” reminds me of Larry Wall’s trio of programming virtues: “laziness, impatience, and hubris”. (See http://c2.com/cgi/wiki?LazinessImpatienceHubris)
