Honorary Members
Members of The Zacharias Club
Mark Zacharias
Neither the smartest, tallest, or handsomest of the boys; but the most athletic; "zig-zagging (as C.S. Lewis claimed he himself did) down the straight and narrow."
Victor and Marilouise Zacharias
Married in December 1952 and still going strong.  Always faithfulTrue to the truth.
This is where the rubber meets the road.
Francis Schaeffer
(1912-1984)
Scott and Ramona Zacharias
Scott is the tallest, and mechanically most gifted of the boys, by far!!  I should also mention that he has been, is, and always will be a businessman with unusual integrity; he's honest as the day is long.
When all is done, when all the alternatives have been explored, "not many men are in the room" -- that is, although world-views have many variations, there are not many basic world-views or basic presuppositions.
-Francis Schaeffer,
How Should We Then Live
Bryan Zacharias
Mark and Scott's elder brother; the smartest and handsomest (yes, this is a word) of the boys.  Bryan is also a devoted family man who loves his wife and children, and through thick and thin has done his best to be a good husband and father.  He has a level of commitment that is exceptional.
Picture coming soon!
Hugh Nibley
(1910-2005)
A professor is not one who knows, but one who professes to know, and [thus] is constantly in the position of inviting challenge.  He professes publicly where everyone is invited to come and challenge, [and] at any time he must be willing and able to defend it openly against all comers. The degree is originally a chivalric device-a gauntlet of defiance to all rivals-and not a safe rampart or dug-out for a scholar to hide behind in safe immunity from any challenge.
-Hugh W. Nibley, "
Intre-Ancient Records," p. 24.

Read Jeff Lindsay's Mormanity blog entry: "

Jeff Lindsay
Many years ago when I (Mark) was researching the LDS Church, I came across Jeff Lindsay's website, then known as the "Cracked Planet".  I was immediately drawn to the site because of it's honesty, openess, sense of humor, and no nonsense approach to many issues, including the teachings of the LDS (Mormon) Church.  As I studied Jeff's site, I realized what a good man he is, and on several occasions I've sent e-mails with questions and comments, which he graciously and thoroughly answered.  Here's a link to Jeff's website:  http://www.jefflindsay.com/ where you will, according to Jeff, "wade in an ocean of knowledge" -- and here's a link to some recent photos of Jeff and his wonderful (and incredibly attractive) family: http://www.jefflindsay.com/photos05.html.  Not long ago, as I was working on The Z Club website, I thought, "Hey, I should invite Jeff Lindsay to join my new club"!!  The invitation went out, and Jeff has officially accepted.  I'm grateful for his friendship and all the good he's doing via his website in cyberspace; and all the good he and his family are doing in "real life".  Thank you, Jeff!
