Celebrate St. Patrick while it’s still legal

Clock March 16 2010 by Phyllis Zagano, Religion News Service
With political correctness storming the country, I’m waiting for someone to complain about St. Patrick’s Day. After all, it honors a Christian saint who spread his religious beliefs in a foreign land. Never mind that St. Patrick’s Day is the most widely celebrated Christian feast after Christmas and Easter. Christmas has been secularized: trees are OK, nativity scenes are not. And Easte...

In a New York state of mind

Clock 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.

When the best days seem behind us, not ahead

Clock February 17 2010 by Tom Ehrich, Religion News Service
My grandfather — Class of “Naughty-five” at Purdue University — was a civil engineer, builder and inventor imbued with an American “can-do” spirit. He worked on a great dam project in the Northwest, when a new nation tamed rivers, spanned canyons and enabled populations to expand. He served in the cavalry during World War I, returned to Indiana, invented a machine for canning tomat...

Bad data skewed GCR position

Norman Jameson

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...
