-- Beliefnet.com The Rev. Wilson wags his finger not at Christianity per se but at the ritualistic nature of modern Christianity, which he feels focuses unduly on idolatry and dogma at the expense of genuine spiritual enlightenment. The Rev. Willie F. Wilson, a Baptist minister and community activist in Washington, D.C., believes that most Christians, and especially African-Americans, are victims of a spiritual illness. A Baptist minister's book urges Christians, especially African-American ones, to reject 'brainwashing' www.beliefnet.com /frameset.asp?pageLoc=/story/25/story_2509_1.html&boardID=2822

Brian McLaren: An Open Letter to Chuck Colson The postmodern culture is the world in which many of us live and work and minister, sharing the good news and following the good ways of Jesus Christ. What you describe as postmodernism — a claim that “there is no such thing as truth,” a rejection of all moral values, or their reduction to mere preferences — may have been purported by a few crazed graduate students for a few minutes at a late-night drinking party. You suggest that Christians who don’t share your views are “dumbing down” and moving from a “Word-driven message” to an “image and emotion-driven message.” True, there’s plenty of dumbing down out there, but I’m sorry, that blanket assessment is not worthy of a person of your stature. www.anewkindofchristian.com /archives/000018.html   (3477 words)

Kulanu: Conversos Surfacing Among Southwest's Hispanics Atencio, whose father is a Protestant minister, believes many of the people drawn away from Catholicism may have been searching for a form of Christianity that allowed their Jewish remnants to exist more comfortably. Families who swept the floor to the middle of the room instead of past the door (because they did not want to defile the mezuzah), circumcised their male children or refused to cook with pork or lard were often brought before the Inquisition. During the 15th and 16th centuries, these new Christians were watched closely by the Holy Court of the Inquisition. www.kulanu.org /crypto/cryptoforward.html   (791 words)

PEACEMAKERS FOR JESUS - Frequently Asked Questions It seems much more logical for me to shoot the burglar, have him arrested if he survives my gunshot, and then minister to him! Some years ago I met a German migrant to this country, whose father was one of those German Christian Conscientious Objectors who were shot by the German authorities, for refusing to go to war. I guess the GERMAN Christians who fought against "our side", and who were on the receiving end of all those "Thousand Bomber" air raids, and the aftermath of D-DAY, are still wondering about that! home.pacific.net.au /~amaxwell/pacifist/pacifaq.htm   (1604 words)

Excerpt From "Wolves In Sheep's Clothing" I have delivered sermons as a lay minister and have served as a Deacon in a fundamentalist "born-again" Christian church. That a deep confusion be resolved concerning the puzzling contradictions observed between creed and practice in extreme conservative religion, certain Christian faiths, and the Fundamentalist Christian Church. This is presented to the group as "obedience to God." Learning and adopting "the Christian life," as defined by the group's leader-ship, is stressed over the individual's unique and personal discovery of a personal relationship with the divine. www.religiousaddictionandspiritualabuse.com /site/749804/page/375551   (1179 words)

Watkins, senior minister of the Disciples Christian Church of Bartlesville, Okla., has been nominated to become the next leader of the Indianapolis-based Christian Church (Disciples of Christ).

CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: France France's national heroine was thus heralded by the fancy of her contemporaries, by Christine de Pisan, and by that Venetian merchant whose letters have been preserved for us in the Morosini Chronicle, as a heroine whose aims were as wide as Christianity itself. The allowance made by France to the auditor was discontinued in 1882, but the office has survived, and the reorganization of the tribunal of the Rota made by Pope Pius X (September and October 1908) was followed by the appointment of a French auditor. Piety had been for the kings of France, set on their thrones, set on their thrones by the Church of God, as it were a duty belonging to their charge or office; but in the piety of St. Louis there was a note all his own, the note of sanctity. www.newadvent.org /cathen/06166a.htm   (4250 words)

Japan Prime Minister Obuchi died of a stroke in May 2000 and was succeeded by Yoshiro Mori, whose administration was dogged by scandal and blunders from the outset. Suspicious of Christianity and of Portuguese support of a local Japanese revolt, the shoguns of the Tokugawa period (1603–1867) prohibited all trade with foreign countries; only a Dutch trading post at Nagasaki was permitted. These setbacks led to the resignation of Prime Minister Ryutaro Hashimoto in July 1998. www.infoplease.com /ipa/A0107666.html   (1680 words)

Church News from Denmark - February 1997 Interviewed by the Christian Daily she points out that the negative attitude to the church in the last century when the socialist pioneers spoke of the clergy as 'preaching actors with a good salary and safe pensions for themselves and their families' was not meant as an attack on Christianity. At a reshuffle of the Cabinet after Christmas the Minister of Education, Ole Vig Jensen, was appointed in addition to be Minister of Church Affairs. Significant of their standpoint is this passage from the book, 'In consequence of the widespread dogma among the members of the Danish Church that nobody can speak on behalf of the church, the church is speechless.' They want a renewal of the structure in the church and argue for the establishment of diocesan committees. www.interchurch.dk /cn/feb97.htm   (420 words)

Liberal Christians who aren't Christians Liberal Christianity is nothing more than applying the wisdom of man in the realm of the spiritual through the rubric of Christianity. Gardner is a former long-time Methodist minister, current Unity church pastor, the chaplain for abortionist George Tiller (www.drtiller.com), and a self-described "Zen Buddhist Hindu with Christian overtones."

Québec and Constitutional Change He or she can regain grace and renew his or her Christianity through what might be called the ordinary operation of the Church. In 1987 Prime Minister Mulroney called a federal/provincial conference which unanimously endorsed a package of constitutional changes, including the designation of Québec as a distinct society. The final conference was rocky, but some premiers, with Jean Chretien, a federal minister, hammered out a compromise that would weaken the absolute power of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms and would readjust the amending formula. www.ola.bc.ca /online/cf/module-5/q&c.html   (6249 words)

FrontPage magazine.com :: Islam’s Nazi Connections by Serge Trifkovic SS chief Heinrich Himmler was known to remark that he regretted that Germany had adopted Christianity, rather than "warlike" Islam, as its religion, and there is a disturbing amount of twisted but very real logic in his remark. The Nazis began by attempting to exploit Arab resentment of the British and French colonial rule that they were under during the 1930’s, colonial rule which, in light of the subsequent bloody and tyrannical history of the region, it is hard to condemn today as worse than the likely alternative. When he met Hitler, on November 21, 1941, he declared that the Arabs are Germany’s natural friends, ready to cooperate with the Reich with all their hearts by the formation of an Arab Legion. www.frontpagemag.com /Articles/ReadArticle.asp?ID=4934   (1570 words)
