Online Reading (November 9, 2010)

Welcome to reading some of the things I’m finding interesting today:

November 11: While in my present home of Korea, November 11 is “Peppero Day”, back home in Canada, it’s Remembrance day, and there is a debate this year about the white poppy as opposed to the red poppy.

Abortion and Slavery: Thabiti Anyabwile gives some ideas about making the link to abortion while not being disrespectful about one of the millennium’s (other) greatest evils.

Gay Rights and Freedom of Religion: The Daily Mail reports on a case where the two are coming into direct conflict. I have passionate opinions on this one, but it’s a difficult dilemma to say the least.

How to Listen to a Sermon: For those of you who listen to me on the itunes feed, here are some ideas on how to get something out of the preaching of a very fallible human.

Daily Reading (March 17, 2008)

Episcopal Church: The Bruhaha about the deposing of a sitting bishop continues.

Environment: This is kinda disturbing, but why am I thinking of a Seinfeld episode?

Weather: As I finish shovelling yesterday’s snow, I hear about another snowstorm. (at least it’s only predicting HALF A METER of snow over the next 24 hours).

American Politics: Mark Steyn celebrates universal victimhood.

Standard
Calvinism, Culture, discernment, Homosexuality, textual interpretation, theology

Law: Indian court clears Richard Gere of obscenity. They did not comment on his acting ability.

Culture: Is Polyamory the next part of the Anglican “listening process”?

Conference: Video is now available for all main sessions at the text and context conference. They are really good talks, but a sizable investment of time (about 80 mins each)

Christian Life: J.I. Packer reviews his life and counts surprises.

Standard
Anglican, Homosexuality, theology

History: Consultants have reported to the government of Newfoundland and Labrador on how to commemorate pre-confederation history.

Theology: Are some evangelicals Bible-idolators? J.P. Moreland has some thoughts (read carefully).

Anglicanism: As the Anglicans react to the theological differences now becoming apparent in the communion, Lambeth publishes a scorecard of primatial responses.

More Anglicanism: Is the Catholic Church preparing to benefit from the problems?

Iraq: Some Iraqis are returning home. (Note: this is a big deal if the beeb is actually reporting it).

Anglicans: Seems the Church of my birth is inching towards full schism. Unfortunately, neither side of the schism would be an acceptable choice of a Church for me (if you want reasons, you can buy me a coffee and we can talk).

Law: Defamation law too difficult for you here in North America (making you prove real harm, etc.?) Sue in the UK!

Freak Dancing: I may be officially old now, but I’m with Al Mohler on the concept of “Freak Dancing”.
