A story on the front page of our local paper caught my attention last Saturday. The headline annouced that Alabama judge Roy Moore (of 10 commandments in the courtroom renown) is joining the fight in a Pennsylvania case over hate crimes law. Two local evangelists for Repent America were charged under the hate crimes law for [...]
Ron Sider has a new book (see excerpt here) that looks like an important read. I also found this endorsement by Scot McKnight for the upcoming conference at Eastern University.
After observing the divisiveness of the 2004 election season, even within Mennonite congregations, John Roth proposed that Mennonites take a 5-year sabbatical from political engagement. I was a delegate [...]
G.K Chesterton once entered a public debate on the state of the nation by writing a letter to The Times. In response to the question of what was wrong with the world he wrote this:
