	JBS Haldane-Science and the Supernatural
		And I should be only too happy if, as the result of this correspondence, I had contrived to persuade you that it shows a certain failure of perception to bracket in the same sentence the doctrines of Catholicism and Hinduism.
		DEAR LUNN, How unfortunate it is that a reading of The Inequality of Man has diverted you from your exposition of the arguments for the existence of God.
		I venture to suggest that some of the statements in that book to which you object, for example, the alleged corpulence of St. Thomas, are irrelevant to the large issues which (as I had hoped) we were going to discuss.

		Of all the great English converts to Catholicism this century, Arnold Lunn was perhaps the most unlikely.
		Here, with the same disarming wit he had once used against the Church, Lunn comes brilliantly to her defense, refuting the leading errors and idols of the age.

	BOOK REVIEWS - Edifying and Entertaining Conversions - by Eric J. Scheske - November/December 2000 - Catholic Faith
		Especially entertaining are stories of a few converts who were particularly antagonistic to the Church in their younger years, such as Arnold Lunn, a prolific writer and downhill ski enthusiast who is largely credited with getting downhill ski racing introduced into the Olympics.
		This “Catholic Intellectual Revolt,” as publisher Frank Sheed dubbed it, was too much for Arnold Lunn, a devout skeptic, who wrote a scathing attack on Ronald Knox’s book A Spiritual Aeneid, and subsequently, in 1924, published his book, Roman Converts, a critical study of Newman, Manning, Chesterton, Knox and Tyrrell.
		Lunn’s studies and intellectual plowing also brought him to study Scholastic philosophy, which in turn contributed to his growing distrust of modernity’s skepticism, subjectivism, and bogus philosophies like Marxism and Freudianism.

		Sir Arnold Lunn, working with the Austrian ski instructor Hannes Schneider, developed the control gate.
		Sir Arnold also founded the first ski club that promoted organized racing, The Kandahar Ski Club, and developed the first codified (regulated by specific rules) race discipline, the "Special" Slalom.
		Therefore, the rules for gate passage are based upon the fundamental concepts laid down by Sir Arnold Lunn and the legendary Austrian, Hannes Schneider.

	Kandahar - The Lodge at the Big Mountain - Near Whitefish, Montana, USA
		The driving force behind the Kandahar Ski Club was Sir Arnold Lunn, the man who invented and named the slalom ski race.
		Strangely enough, Sir Arnold always regretted his attaching the old Norwegian name slalom to his invention, recognizing that the German world torlauf (gate race) would have been far more appropriate.
		On March 3 and 4, 1928, Sir Arnold and his friend Hannes Schneider inaugurated and supervised the first Arlberg-Kandahar race in St. Anton, Austria, a full two years before the FIS recognized downhill and slalom racing and three years before the first World Championships in the Alpine Combined.

		One origin of the Naftzinger name can be found on page 74 and 92 of Arnold Lunn book "Switzerland." The first Zahringers were from the Village of Baden, Germany.
		After some years, some nephews of the Zahringer family or house moved east of Bern district and founded their own estate, for which the Canton of Schwyz was a part of the place of Nafels.
		I recently purchased a copy of "Switzerland: Her Topographical, Historical, and Literary Landmarks" by Sir Arnold Lunn (1928), which seemed the best candidate for the above reference.

	Arnold Lunn
		"The Church as it now is", wrote Dr. Arnold in the early years of the nineteenth century, "no human power can save." Within a few years the Oxford Movement had revolutionized the situation, and refuted the pessimists.
		When I was a boy Anglican and Nonconformist churches were fuller than they are today, and there was far less open repudiation of Christian doctrine and morals among those who never attended a place of worship, but I do not think that the number of genuinely convinced Christians was much larger.
		The scientific approach to this problem is less uncommon in scientific circles than was the case in the nineteenth century, but the man in the street is still influenced by the negative dogmatism of the old-fashioned secularist who repeated with simple faith Matthew Arnold's remark, "miracles don't occur".
