Their bodies, ourselves
We’ve looked at a few mainstream media articles covering the Body Worlds exhibit that has been traveling around the country. In March of last year, Eric Gorski had a great feature in The Denver Post. In January of this year, Jeffrey Weiss ran an insightful Q&A with the exhibit’s creator in The Dallas Morning News .

The very last Baptist congregation that I called home, on my road to the ancient church of the East, was Myers Park Baptist Church in Charlotte, N.C., which hails itself as an “ecumenical church” in the “Baptist tradition.”

Missing the other Presbyterians
A reader of ours, Fred, left us a note about a pretty shabby story out of the Contra Costa Times, a Walnut Creek, Calif.-based daily newspaper, about declining membership in the Presbyterian church. As a side note, I encourage readers to keep sending us stories like these, the good and the bad. There is no way the four of us can canvas every single media outlet out there, and even some obvious stories in the major outlets slip past us from time to time, so please use that Contact link frequently.

The controversy ignited after comments from team Chaplain Jon Moeller were published in a rather excellent Washington Post feature on the Bible in baseball.

Hear no evil? (Spoken with a British accent)
I asked on Monday if it makes sense for journalists to use the word “Islamic” as an adjective to describe nouns such as “militants” or “terrorists.”
