It was heartening to see the Southern Baptists changing their position on global warming. The story that broke on Monday reports that forty-six influential members of the Southern Baptist Convention, including three of its past four presidents, criticized their denomination for being “too timid” in confronting global warming. It is encouraging to see the Church able to change, [...]
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 [...]
