Christianity celebrates

Sheila Liaugminas | 25 December 2010

The news stories continue to trot out about individual atheists and other anti-Christians bringing lawsuits against any public symbol of the faith. "They keep chipping away, one manger scene or cross at a time, but can you imagine them shutting this down in the next decade or two?" worried my husband, as we enjoyed the magnificent Mormon Tabernacle Choir Christmas concert. "No worries," I said. "It has endured over 2000 years. It's not going away."

Remember the Resurrection

Sometimes priests and preachers remind us that we have to go through Good Friday to get to Easter Sunday. But who knew we needed to be reminded what happened on Easter Sunday?! Seems it’s quickly turning into the big secular celebration Christmas largely has become for many people, including Christians preparing their feasts and decorating their homes with bunnies and colorful egg trees. Some scholars are saying we need to re-think Jesus.

Even where people are not losing their faith, they’re losing their rights to freely express their religiously informed voices. 

Dear Google: Search for Civility

Know how you start typing a phrase into a Google search window and all sorts of possibilities pop up to help you find the search you’re after? That helps me a lot in my daily forays into web research. But they're not as helpful when you search for Christianity...

One God

Four churches in and around Kuala Lumpur in Malaysia have been firebombed in the continued reaction to a court ruling that Christians may use the word “Allah.”

Over 47,200 signatures

The Manhattan Declaration is growing and recalling Christians to conscience.

A favoured religion

Sheila Liaugminas | 21 November 2009

A newly appointed federal judge President Obama named to the Seventh Circuit isn’t getting much media scrutiny for a controversial ruling he made that, effectively, makes prayers to Allah politically correct and perfectly acceptable in the public square, but not prayers invoking the name of Jesus Christ.
