Christianity 101
August 30 2010 by Dick Staub, Religion News Service
The flap about President Obama’s religious affiliation reveals our national ignorance about religion in general and Christianity in particular. Here are some facts we ought to understand before we go around rating the Christian character of Obama or anyone else: 1.

Film review: Documentary unearths forgotten Nazi footage
August 27 2010 by Stephen Whitty, Religion News Service
Perhaps the most chilling detail of the Third Reich is the precision with which it documented its own atrocities. The timetables of trains to the death camps, the blueprints for the gas chambers, the long lists of names and numbers and ethnicities. This many arrested, this many transported, this many eliminated.

It had to happen, I suppose. After a week of mass numbers, gross results and overwhelming needs assaulting every sense — 230,000 killed in 30 seconds; 1,300 refugee camps; 3,000 helping agencies at work among victims; 80 percent unemployment; 50 percent literacy; only 40 percent with access to clean water — I thought I'd grown heart callouses hard enough to deflect any emotional tugs while I w...
