Read the rest of the article here… Kruse makes a keen observation about emerging Evangelicals:
One of the most ironic things I’ve seen in this election is the broad embrace of Obama by so many Emergent or emerging church folks. The vary name “Emergent” comes from the philosophical notion of “emergence,” which Wikipedia explains refers to, [...]

Canada rated world’s soundest bank system: survey

Jonathan Kay:
Four points need to be made here:
(1) Never have I been more grateful for this country’s prudent, risk-averse national character.
(2) Canadians are obsessed with their rank in the world. They should take a bow on this one. Surely this is more important than, say, junior hockey or the pommel horse.
(3) A year ago, the [...]

Donald Miller’s “Blue Like Jazz” (6 of 6) – Don on: Love

***You might want to read part1, part 2, part 3, part 4 and part 5 first***
“I wish Ani DiFranco wasn’t a Lesbian.”

Live Blogging the (Canadian) Debate

I hadn’t planned on doing this… in fact, I’ve never live-blogged anything before.  And also, I kind of forgot the debate was going to be on so I didn’t prepare at all, but I found myself at the computer, watching TV and figured “Why not?”.

Donald Miller’s “Blue Like Jazz” (5) – Confession is a Two Way Street

***You might want to read part1, part 2, part 3, and part 4 first***
I’m quite certain Don’s chapter on confession is unlike anything you’ve read before.  The subtitle of this chapter is “Coming Out of the Closet” and in it Don recounts the experience of setting up a confession booth in the middle of the [...]
