Your average Chesterton fan
As the Divine Mrs. M.Z. Hemingway has been demonstrating, the mainstream press has shown quite a bit of interest in the religious roots of the anti-ACORN video reporter Hannah Giles and, in particular, the social and political views of her minister father and, to a lesser degree by inference, their home Clash Church.

Eye to eye with an Oath Keeper
At this time, I would like to join MZ Hemingway in doing something that may sound a bit strange at this here weblog. I want to praise the Los Angeles Times for writing a major, A1 story that contains a little bit of religion, but not too much. Yes, there’s a religion ghost in this whole, quote, anti-government, unquote, movement, but the ghost does not appear to be running the show.

Let us prey (on women)
The Washington Post ran a story the other day that was quite scary, if you care about the institutional church. The only problem I had with the story is that it wasn’t scary enough and, in particular, it wasn’t hard enough on one of the fastest growing forms of Protestantism in the nation (and the world, for that matter).

All the faith that fits the zip code
Every now and then I read a really great quotation or some snappy writing in a major newspaper — The New York Times, for example — and the contents and tone of words are so perfect that they stick in my might as a snapshot of a particular place, time and state of mind.

LOL! Pope vs. Dan Brown
OK, that’s a slight exaggeration. Still, with that new Dan Brown book on the loose, people here in Washington, D.C., are jumpy. We could all use a laugh.

Who were those guys?
Here in Beltway land, people are still buzzing a bit about the whole Tea Bag and Talk Radio festival — to use the most common mainstream media images — that drew tens of thousands (police no longer give specific estimates in this cautious age) of protesters to the National Mall.
