Boycotting church
March 17 2010 by Tom Ehrich, Religion News Service
Let’s agree with television blowhard Glenn Beck that some churches need to be avoided. Ah, but which ones? Beck, of course, wants the righteous to shun any congregation that preaches “social justice” or “economic justice.” Terms like these are “code words” for Nazism and communism, he claims. His net of scorn caught up most major Christian denominations, conservative and liberal al...

Celebrate St. Patrick while it’s still legal
March 16 2010 by Phyllis Zagano, Religion News Service

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.

GCR report — more questions than answers
February 26 2010 by Joseph Bunce, Baptist Press
ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. — This week I was in Nashville, Tenn., attending meetings of our beloved Southern Baptist Convention. Monday night I heard the report of the Great Commission Resurgence Task Force, a special committee appointed by Johnny Hunt, president of the SBC. I listened with interest to the progress report of this committee. You might wish to watch a pre-recorded video of the repo...

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...
