The Russian Orthodox Scene
*Sightings* 5/5/08 — Martin E. Marty Conflicts over religion in American politics and among forces of “the religions” and the threats these pose (e.g. Muslim/Hindu) are so preoccupying, so headline- and primetime-grabbing, that many tense subjects of great import get overlooked.

Jim Wallis: Justice Revivals
From a friend: Jim Wallis has been conducting Justice Revivals – I’m pasting a report of a recent successful city-wide Justice Revival held in Columbus Ohio in April.

Creationist Bias
A creationist wrote: http://img233.imageshack.us/img233/2764/sciencevscreationismjd7.gif From the cartoons presented in the website it can be said both methods are means of assessing what is the truth as to which facts fit best.

Where do you live [in Australia]?
[From a friend, Brigid Walsh] Where do you live? What do you know of the history of your locality? Getting to know this history is important.
