In the news...
I have been busy being musical and have not posted links to some interesting news articles. The vast majority of these is religious in subject, but I thought you might want a peek.
* Satellite images renew interest in search for Noah's ark
* More Baptist churches looking to Lent for community, confession, cadence I know of the pastor from River Road. It is the church located very near my alma mater. I come by this AngloBaptist thing honestly.
* Ordination variations: Some wonder is it baptistic? Is it biblical? And here I thought that my ecumenical efforts had changed the face of baptist life. Well, back to the drawing board.
* Cincinnati leaders change direction on homosexuality discrimination 8-1 is a pretty steep defeat.
* House passes resolution condemning Russian religious-freedom violations Hey, someone tell me what such a respolution accomplishes.
*Students Flock to Seminaries, but Fewer See Pulpit in Future Thanks for sending this, Crawford. It is interesting. I wonder if some of the younger people who choose not to serve a pulpit will find themselves choosing to try one on when they are in their 30's.
*Judges Overturn Bush Bid to Ease Pollution RulesAh...state and federal competition again. The judge they interview is a Clinton appointee. That makes some difference, I guess. But what is interesting is how this judgment is more about states' rights in working with corporations.
"Satellite image of the Mt. Ararat 'anomaly' in 2003. The anomaly is surrounded below by very rugged-looking strato-volcanic rock, however, the texture of the feature in question is relatively smooth and appears to be made of a different substance."
