Niko Karvounis has an interesting post (it’s a week or two old) over at Taking Note. Some snippets to tease:
Taken together, the numbers from Isaacs and Hertz make for a compelling one-two punch: the richest folks in America are no more self-made than their international peers, and our poorest citizens have less of a [...]
The New York Times has an article by Diana Kraft and Laurie Goodstein that discusses a “wider split” between conservatives and the rest of the Episcopal Church. I wonder how long it will be before everyone finally acknowledges that the real purpose of this group is not to “widen a rift” but to split [...]
Reverend Mother is questioning the simplicity of simple living. Her question is worth pondering - what can communities of faith do to make it easier for members to consider all of creation in their actions?
The first thing I have to do is say that I think a lot of the sound and the fury [...]
Timothy Egan writes that Rick Warren’s church will be breaking ground by opening its doors to a group of homosexual dads on Father’s Day. Of course, the postscript makes it clear that Egan didn’t even get the topic of his article right, so why worry about the rest of it? Rick Warren won’t [...]

Stupidity.
Is it possible to worship the Prince of Peace by starting a fistfight?
God forbid.
I’m a relative newcomer to the Episcopal Church/Anglican Communion. It’s quite possible that I don’t understand all of the subtleties that are causing fractures in the worldwide church (I certainly am not immersed in it as this site), but I think it can be represented rather simply as three major issues: 1) Some diocese [...]
That’s the science part - Francis Collins, Director of the Human Genome Project, talking about his personal faith and the role of science - here’s the religion vs. religion part.
Eboo Patel talks about addressing “Q” - a gathering of Evangelical Christians “dedicated to exploring “the church’s role in positively engaging culture”.”
I think [...]
A few weeks ago, some folks made a fuss over John McCain’s endorsement by John Hagee. Hagee is what is roughly referred to as a “Christian Zionist”. He believes that, in the end-times, Israel will become the focal point for a new wave of prophets and that the world will descend into war [...]
