Living and leading from our mortality
“Yearning for life is a part of what it means to be human.”
The precarious position of evangelical women celebrities in the church
“These women are a puzzle hidden in plain sight.”
Old prayers for the new year
For this end-of-the-year post, we asked our favorite historians and writers to share prayers from the past that could serve as guides for our present.
Advent in post-Ferguson America
Thanksgiving is over in post-Ferguson America, and it can’t come too soon. A national celebration of country, family and freedom from want follows on the heels of protests, frenzied media, and the deployment of the National Guard over the failure of a grand jury to indict a police officer over the shooting of 18-year old Michael Brown. In an America deeply divided over race and debate over individual character vs. systems, bad apples vs. rigged games, the long dawn of Advent has begun. Thank God.
