In a New York state of mind
March 3 2010 by Tom Ehrich, Religion News Service
NEW YORK — I, for one, believe that global climate change and its threat to humanity are real phenomena. I also believe that our political systems are paralyzed — for now at least — by any challenge that can’t be resolved by blustery words. The days of grand projects like railroads, bridges and dams are on hiatus until partisan rancor subsides. Dealing with climate change, then, comes d...

Attracting a crowd at VBS
March 2 2010 by Diana Davis, Baptist Press

Organizing a structured quiet time
February 15 2010 by Neal Hughes, North American Mission Board
I have always liked structure. My children tease me mercilessly. Every vacation, I will have a written agenda with full detail and an hour-by-hour strategy (it drives them nuts… a little parent payback!).

Bad data skewed GCR position
In all the dialog about the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force’s study of processes in Southern Baptist life as it seeks efficiencies to get more money “to the nations,” the single most arresting fact that committee members quoted was that two-thirds of missions money and personnel allocated through the North American Mission Board was deployed in the old south states. I still remembe...
