We've just watched this documentary on BBC, available for a little while on iPlayer (UK only). For UK Christians this is almost a must-watch, and at least a highly-recommended-watch. Deborah's 13, has been brought up in a rural area with 10 siblings and is a passionate evangelist, believing in hell ...

The rain is cold and very wet. It is also much needed. And, perhaps the cold and wet day has also dampened other things. Hopefully I can be vague enough to not reveal identities and yet specific enough to speak to the issue. God himself knows that there are certainly enough examples, so protecting i...

I am not a fundamentalist.  At least I don’t think that I am.  In fact, I have prided myself on some occasions with my acerbic criticism of those who wear their fundi-wear a little too tight.  But here recently, as I look in the mirror and watch some of my friends, I wonder if we are not th...

"Sixty-two percent of New Hampshire adults identified themselves as Christians last year, the American Religious Identification Survey for 2008 reported. This is a 23 percent decline from 1990, when 85 percent of adults called themselves Roman Catholics, mainline Protestants and other Christians...N...

Look, I'm willing to argue that as a Jew I want ...

Tonight I read an opinion regarding the decline of Evangelical Christianity. The author, one who professes to be an evangelical, even describes his cyber world as a "post-evangelical wilderness." Is the world to become more antagonistic towards Evangelical Christianity? If you believe Scripture, it ...

The reaction continues to roll in as the mainstream press surfs through the results of the new American Religious Identification Survey (ARIS), the one that points to the rising wave of the post-denominational age in American religion. For background on the survey itself, click here to head over to ...

If you have never heard of our (St. Mary's Catholic Center) program called "Ask A Catholic A Question", then you can read more about it here. It is a program of evangelization that I started while I was the Director of Campus Ministry at St. Elizabeth's at Texas Tech. I brought it with me to St. Mar...
