New today from the Century:
- James Harnish on a lawyer's journey to church: "There was no hostility in Larry's question. He had not rejected
religion; he simply didn't need it. He had moved along the typical path
of an upwardly mobile professional, his life consumed by work." (subscription required) - Carol Howard Merritt on the pastor as writer: "After a couple of years of sweating over each syllable, I suddenly
needed the words. I hungered to write them. On vacations, my family
urged me to take a break and I
became cranky. What happened? How did the words begin to grow like
wildflowers
that I no longer had to coddle?" - Mark Labberton's lectionary column for Sunday, November 6: "I love being free. I especially love autonomous freedom—the delight
of pursuing and doing what I want. The problem is that autonomous freedom is near the root of what the Bible calls sin." (subscription required) - What's the gospel in seven words?
