Amit Green's List: Yeshua

"Now there probably was another side of this, see Kenny is courting Sarah so in evangelical culture sharing the gospel with strangers can be akin to slaying a dragon or bringing home the bacon" ...

Nice. I imagine Sarah's brownies were pretty good as she was out to impress the new "man".

This story just in: A New Hampshire judge has ordered a 10-year-old girl to be sent to public school because she seems too committed to her mother's religious views and hasn't learned to be critical enough of them. As she gets older, she needs to learn to explore new ideas, etc. This quotation from the court order is especially telling:

Combine long hours, limited finances, and each congregation's unique dysfunctions, and it's no wonder an estimated 1500 pastors leave the ministry each month. Worse, the problem isn't limited only to pastors. Ministry workers of all sorts suffer in their vocations: Clergy, volunteers, office staff, those who work in para-church ministries and other non-profits, and their families.
