A concerned voice from Canada (1)

1 day, 22 hours ago permalink

Writing in the Anglican Journal (Canada), Walter Deller, Principal of the College of Emmanuel and St. Chad, Saskatoon says: More depressing, in my view, is that despite all protestations to the contrary and arguments about confrontation with Islam in Africa and elsewhere, the evangelical side of Anglicanism is leading us more and more toward a form of Christianity which is simply another variant of fundamentalist Islam. This is most evident in the insistence on treating ...

Episcopal Cafe (2) 2 days, 13 hours ago permalink

New York Times: Even as the increasing Web fluency of religious organizations has flung their doors wide to a new world of potential followers, it has also opened the gates for all to see what may have been intended only for the faithful in the pews. Now, I.R.S. investigators, as well as groups that monitor churches’ political activity, can do much of their work with a simple Google search, or a surfing of YouTube posts. ...

Boing Boing (4277) 2 days, 20 hours ago permalink

Over on Making Light blog, my friend Elise Matheson, resident of Minneapolis-St Paul, has some skeptical questions about the supposed anarchist looters among the RNC protestors: I cannot help but remember some people I knew in college, one of whom turned out to be an informant and provocateur who infiltrated antiwar and other related groups. I thought of it again, sharply, when I read this LiveJournal post about a past event. I look at that ...

McCain's VP Wants Creationism Taught in School (112)

by Brandon Keim (90) on

Wired Science (76) 1 week, 1 day ago permalink

Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin wants creationism taught in science classes. In a 2006 gubernatorial debate, the soon-to-be governor of Alaska trotted out the usual creationist education canard: "Teach both. You know, don't be afraid of education. Healthy debate is so important, and it's so valuable in our schools. I am a proponent of teaching both." Teaching evolution and creationism in a scientifically balanced way is simply impossible. Evolution is accepted by scientists as ...

My big fat straight wedding (1)

Episcopal Cafe (2) 2 weeks, 1 day ago permalink

What’s the difference between homosexuals and heterosexuals? Andrew Sullivan remembers his own wedding and says, after the California Supreme Court ruling last May, that American culture and law are at last acknowledging that there is none. What if gays were straight? The question is absurd—gays are defined as not straight, right?—yet increasingly central to the debate over civil-marriage rights. Here is how California’s Supreme Court put it in a key passage in its now-famous May ...

The Times Online reports on the Dexter cattle breed, “the world’s most efficient, cutest and tastiest cows." For between £200 and £2,000, people can buy a cow that stands no taller than a large German shepherd dog, gives 16 pints of milk a day that can be drunk unpasteurised, keeps the grass “mown” and will be a family pet for years before ending up in the freezer. The Dexter, a mountain breed from Ireland, is ...
