Another source for Katrina news & views
If you are interested in news and commentary about the theological issues linked to Katrina, the Anglican Web Elves up north — wise guys in multiple meanings of that phrase — have started a blog that includes all kinds of useful links. This is the CaNN site, which stands either for Classical Anglican Net News or Clergy Against Nabobs of Negativism. I can never remember which is right. Wait, that last one would be Clergy Against Nattering Nabobs of Negativism, which would be CaNNN.

Empty kneelers in stunned London?
Until recently, Uwe Siemon-Netto was the religion writer and columnist over at United Press International. In a recent shakeup, that job went away and the veteran German journalist moved back across the Atlantic. He is still writing columns from time to time, and a very interesting one showed up on a conservative Anglican site — VirtueOnline — in the wake of the London bombings.

Progress via a Muslim Spong?
Driving back from the North Carolina mountains tonight, I heard an amazing commentary on NPR that fits into our discussion of the MSM’s heated search for a “moderate” version of Islam that it can hold up as some kind of majority viewpoint. This is part of the whole template that there are “fundamentalists” in all faiths who are equally dangerous in their often violent quest for the illusion of certainty and moral absolutes and then there are “moderates” who, if they all had their way, would all get along as they search for the Eternal Other.
