Conspiracies Theories and the Illiterate

In 2003 a best selling novel, second in a series, titled: The Da Vinci Code was released to the masses in a chart-topping feat of literature. I was in high school. Now, it probably wouldn’t surprise anyone to know that I was never the most popular guy at the time. I was pretty quiet and when I made any noise at all it was only to get attention from those around me. But for the most part I seemed

Historically the church has undergone tumultuous battles with competing theological movements.

There’s a lot of talk about the fact that Barack Obama has selected Rick Warren to deliver the inauguration address. This decision doesn’t surprise me much; although it is, as one activist put it, a kick in the gut to gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and transgender people everywhere. Lets face it, with the official Democratic platform on Gay rights narrowing and the push in the Obama administration to

The Call 2

Well the election is over. The first African American President elect was welcomed by the tears of both adoring fans and McCain supporters. On the local stage, the ever-controversial Proposition 8 passed 52% to 48% reserving marriage strictly for any heterosexual couple that should want one. The passing of this measure took the statewide collaborative efforts of more than a hundred churches of
