2007-10-23 21:55 Halo-lujah
Once upon a time, when I was a young boy, pinballs and table football (and the basketball playground on sunny days) were the top attractions at the oratorio (impossible to translate: it should be something like "parish youth centre"). Nowadays, Protestant churches in the US are using a... [ continua ]

Carátula de libro sobre Grass. Fuente: hqmedia Fünf Grass'sche Jahreszeiten es el título en alemán que ha escrito Margarethe Amelung sobre Gunter Grass. Un libro más en la extensa bibliografía del autor, ciertamente, pero no un libro cualquiera. Esta vez se trata de las memorias de la nana de Grass, una chica que entró a trabajar a los 16 años a la casa de los Grass y que lo ha seguido a lo largo de su vida. Describe ahí su vida sin muebles y sin colomural (¿), su enorme apetito y la anécdota de …

2007-10-18 18:59 Howdy, Pilgrim
If I were to ever run for the office of the President of the US of A, I can assure you that I would never get elected. Okay. We can all breathe a huge sigh of relief over that one. But I'd like to talk about one of the big reasons why, and no it's not about whether or not I ever inhaled. Or whether I ever enjoyed inhaling. Or how many times. See, one of the things we really care a lot about in these fine United States of ours is what religion a candidate is. When JFK was elected, if my history t …

2007-10-18 07:57 New York is schizophrenic on higher ed and welfare
Starting in 2009, local college enrollment will start to decrease, a function of fewer children being born in the last generation or so. As Annie Karni writes in the New York Sun, "We're beyond the baby boom, we're beyond the baby bust, and now we have the baby bust echo effect," the director of Cornell University's program on applied demographics, Warren Brown, said. If colleges don't begin recruiting students from new markets, they can expect a 10% decline in the number of applications they re …

A Skeptical View of Climate Models By Hendrik Tennekes, retired Director of Research, Royal Netherlands Meteorological Institute, Here in the Netherlands, many people have ranked me as a climate skeptic.

2007-10-17 03:41 The Conscience of a Conservative
by Christopher L. Webber [Editor's Note: This essay was accepted for submission on October 6. Biographical information about the author is available here, where we published his earlier essay.] Traditional Anglican Catholicism is hardly a œliberal system. We shape our pattern of worship by a centuries old Prayer Book and, when questioned about our faith, we refer the questioner to fourth- and fifth-century creeds. How then have I, who bristles at the word œProtestant, come to be identified w …

If Christians depended on their feelings for faith, every one of them would probably be atheist. Spiritual fee …

The "Vice-Pope" may already be making his voice heard on a New York appointment of a more prominent sort, but one Gotham move that garnered a bit of attention over the summer was Cardinal Edward Egan's appointment of his well-loved auxiliary, Bishop Gerald Walsh, as rector of the archdiocesan seminary at St Joseph's, Dunwoodie. A veteran pastor and onetime secretary to the saintly Cardinal O'Connor dubbed "St Gerry" by one of his former students, Walsh's naming to head the Stateside seminary tha …

2007-10-15 00:32 Hold Fast the Traditions
I ve been asked to comment on 2 Thessalonians 2:15 regarding the Roman Catholic and Orthodox argument(s) against the Protestant rule of faith. Our opponents state the question generally: Paul tells the Thessalonian church that to hold fast the traditions, therefore, this proves that Paul told them to hold fast to unwritten things, thereby disproving Sola Scriptura. The argument may take several forms, sometimes embedded in a farrago of irrelevant argumentation. For example: Paul is discussing hi …

2007-10-13 17:33 Presbyterians Splintering Over Scripture
The Episcopal Church isn't the only mainline Protestant group shaken by open conflict between theological liberals and conservatives. The Presbyterian Church (USA) is facing similar trials, with traditionalist congregations planning to bolt and a conservative denomination preparing to take them in. About 30 of the almost 11,000 Presbyterian congregations have voted to leave the national church since the denomination's national assembly session in 2006, according to the Layman, a conservative Pre …

Indonesian government recognizes 4 other major religions beside Islam: Catholic, Protestant, Buddhism, and Hinduism. The Islam in Indonesia in general is a moderate one, therefore Indonesian people enjoy a relatively peaceful co-existence between religions. However, there were from time to time violent attac …

Rather than directly confront the increased weight given to concerns about global warming with the award of the Nobel Peace Prize to Al Gore, Saturday's Wall Street Journal runs through a list of causes -- carefully chosen to not be anything that George W. Bush might be against -- that did not receive the prize this year. Indeed it is true that with only one prize per year, the committee has to decide on one that is of particular global significance. It's not as if the other causes lose legitima …

That the Nobel œPeace Prize is really the Nobel Political Prize has been obvious for a long time. I suppose that one has no right to complain. The universe has room for many and varied prizes. One for the individual or group that most admirably advances, or suffers in behalf of, œprogressive ideals is fine. It does, however, tell us a bit about the current state of the progressive mindset when one considers, as the weekend Wall Street Journal did, a list of those who did not receive the acco …

She conceded removability, though she also argues that she applied to extend her visa. But, on the merits, the First says that she just didn t make her case that she actually was persecuted by the government. The First does note that: Furthermore, although the Indonesian government's human rights record is admittedly far from immaculate, the evidence of record …

America is usually regarded as the home of the biggest and the best. Well, the biggest, at any rate. So it should come as no surprise that some of the biggest churches in the world are to be found there. Of course the world s biggest is actually found in Seoul, South Korea. The Pentecostal Yoido Full Gospel Church, headed by David Yonggi Cho, has nearly a million members. But outside of a few giants such as that one, most of the megachurches are found in the US. Of interest in this regard is the …

2007-10-08 19:58 Happy Thanksgiving Day
Today, us Canucks have the holiday that Americans have to wait several weeks for. That's because of Martin Frobisher's celebration on Baffin Island in 1578, which was before the American pilgrims' feast in 1621. Or maybe not. Turns out Canadian Protestants swiped it, but everything worked out fine : To Protestant clergymen, the early history of Thanksgiving is, perhaps, a tragedy, since they lost control over the holiday. From another perspective, it is a story of triumph. Catholics, workers, et …
