Several
writers addressed topics of faith this week – a number of issues are fermenting
(and I have not included a single link to anything about Bruce Jenner). Andrew
Wilson talks about the disproportionate impact that business culture has had on
the church. Tyler Huckabee writes a kind of obituary for contemporary Christian
music. A gay atheist is wondering when the church is going to defend
traditional marriage. And what happens when you’re insurance company will not
pay for your cancer treatments but will pay for your suicide pills?
Shaun
Groves talks about his father-in-law, a pastor afflicted with depression who
took his own life. Mick Silva talks about the pain of daily life. Bill Coffey wonders
who the poor folk really are.
Two
wonderful poems. Arresting photographs and art. And he may be 89 years old, but
Dick Van Dyke’s still got it.
