Everybody goes list-crazy on December 31st. Seeing as how it’s the end of a year whose digits terminate in “10,” we seem to have gone list-crazy for the decade as well. No one with a web site is immune, as evidenced by the fact that even the Café editorial staff couldn’t help putting in its $0.02 as to what mattered the most to the Anglican Communion in 2010.
Here, then, a list of lists celebrating/bemoaning/lambasting/lamenting the year and the decade. Some deal with the Café’s usual concerns; some don’t. But they all share the common trait of looking over one’s shoulder at a significant moment on the calendar before one looks ahead.
Remember, “You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream” (C.S. Lewis).
