Anabaptism is unique among all ecclesial frames for reference derived from the Reformation in many ways, one of which involves its Catholic roots and specifically Benedictine roots. Unlike Luther the Augustinian, Calvin the lawyer, or Zwingli the Christian humanist, the Anabaptist tradition arose largely in the soil of the Benedictine tradition. This is seen most clearly in the influence of Michael Sattler over the Radical Reformation. The earliest Anabaptist confession, The Schletheim Confession, is widely ...

I have too many religious channels on my Dish tv. Any time of the day or night, I can get at least 6 preachers. Some of these television preachers are Word-Faith, prosperity gospel charlatans and phonies. They should be arrested, locked up and the key thrown away. But several of these preachers are actually trying to teach something. They talk about the Bible, prophecy, revelations, hidden meanings, lots of numerology, angels, voices, visions, trances and ...

I don’t comment on advertisements very often, and when I do, it’s usually to skewer it, as I did with Hyundai’s “Dollars and Sense” ad campaign. Advertisements are designed to sell products, after all, and they use a lot of clever techniques to convince you to buy. Still, I couldn’t help but notice when several readers emailed me to point out ING Direct’s new “We, the Savers” ad campaign. Instead of directly promoting ING, it ...

Saturday morning, and we lead off with a joke: One sunny day in 2009, an old man approached the White House from across Pennsylvania Ave, where he’d been sitting on a park bench. He spoke to the US Marine standing guard and said, “I would like to go in and meet with President Bush.” The Marine looked at the man and said, “Sir, Mr. Bush is no longer president and no longer resides here.” The ...

We know more of Francis than of any other medieval saint. We have his own words, his Rule, Testament, letters, poems, and liturgical writings. As well the accounts of several of his disciples, written within twenty years after his death. Francis captured the imagination of his contemporaries as well as modern men by his simplicity and pure grace of spirit. Baptized John Bernardone his Father a wealthy cloth merchant nicknamed Francesco. By his own account ...

Unlike most books that I review, I actually bought this book, from England! And Rob didn’t ask me to review it. I said several times already what a pity it is that US publishers missed the opportunity to distribute and market this book in the aftermath of Lakeland and the VP nomination of Sarah Palin. It is evident based upon Technorati and google searches that many people are looking for the answers about charismatic practices ...

She really does just make things up. In last night's debate she said:"When I and others in the legislature found out that we had some millions of dollars [of Permanent Fund investments] in Sudan, we called for divestment through legislation of those dollars."Yep: you guessed it:A search of news clips and transcripts from the time do not turn up an instance in which Palin mentioned the Sudanese crisis or concerns about Alaska's investments tied to ...
