It seemed like whenever I posted that a bill was soon to come, there were delays. And, sure enough, when I don’t post anything, the bill actually comes out. It’s really interesting to see how much goes in to drawing up a bill like this one. The process took forever and was [...]

The Center for Faith in Politics linked to a news story about a Dutchman named Johan Huibers who is building a one-fifth size scale replica of Noah’s Ark.  His goal is to prove that it can be done–that the biblical story of Noah’s Ark could have actually happened.  I don’t quite get this since Johan’s [...]

I got an email from the GBIO main office last week about the final health care legislation set to be released by the health care conference committee tomorrow.  The email also said that a memo from Health Care For All would be posted on the GBIO web site this weekend outlining what is believed to [...]

It seemed like after we had stopped collecting signatures, that the issue of health care just faded away.  We knew that the House had crafted a bill that was similar in many points to the ballot initiative, but that the senate had not been as receptive.  That was months ago.
A couple weeks ago, the talk [...]

Yesterday, a group called the Evangelical Climate Initiative issued a statement during a press conference which, among other things, called for national CO2 emissions reductions.  One thing is certain, whoever handles PR for this group deserves a raise, because the story got out (Salon, BBC, Christianity Today).
BoingBoing also noted today that Michael Chrichton was recently [...]

For some reason, I find comparing Aslan and Hobbes extremely amusing. There doesn’t seem to be a particularly good reason to do it, other than the fact that their both fictional felines, but hey why not. Christianity today published an article about the two cats that really has nothing to with the characters themselves, [...]

Boston.com, after running several articles about health care reform, has finally published one specifically about GBIO and our involvement in the health care debate that’s going on. The article focuses specificly on Rev. Hurmon Hamiltion and Rabbi Jonah Pesner who together wrote an op-ed piece on health care in August. The article looks [...]

I wanted to post about this on Monday, but I’m just now getting the time. There was an article on Boston.com about the completed renovations on the Roxbury Presbyterian Church building and the services held on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
The article, I think, misses the most significant aspects of the weekend festivities. [...]

I’ve come across a couple articles in the past weeks that talk about the ways that C.S. Lewis’s theology differed from most Evangelical Christians. One article came from Christianity Today (which has published many articles on Lewis lately.) The article is about how Lewis “became a rock star for evangelicals,” and while it [...]

There’s an interesting article in the New Yorker that has helped me sort out some of the thoughts that I’ve been having about Narnia while rereading the books. Adam Gopnik presents some interesting tidbits from Lewis’s life that help illuminate some of the odder moments in the books. For example, Lewis’s obvious hatred [...]
