Christianity 101

Clock 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

Clock August 27 2010 by Stephen Whitty, Religion News Service

Living Ultimate Life

Norman Jameson
We live in a culture of emotions. Feelings rule and we’re encouraged to “Go with your gut.” Our young people can be discouraged from planning because that might prohibit a fairytale serendipity from carrying them down a gilded path of joy and fulfillment. In fact, each person faces three very important decisions early in life. The effect of those decisions will have a great deal to...
