CCBlogs thinking critically, living faithfully

Bob Cornwall has a number of good posts about Charles Darwin's thoughts on God. Here is a link to a Lijit search that will show you all of Bob's Darwin articles. In this post he presents an article by rofessor John Hedley Brooke of Oxford University.

Anthony David Jacques grew up in an Assembly of God tradition. Bothered by perceived abuses in healing services, he takes a careful look at faith healing and faith healers. I find his posts all the more fascinating, given his background. Part one and part two.

Will Willimon reviews the new Wesley Study Bible.

Jan Richardson finds a fascinating parallel between an event in the first chapter of Mark and the 19th century Bible quilts of freed slave Harriet Powers.

Drew Smith writes about a pending piece of Arkansas legislation that would LIFT a current state ban on bringing firearms into houses of worship. Legislation doesn't happen in a vacuum; clearly some of the faithful are unhappy about being forced to check their guns at the door of the church.

Mark Powell tells a story that is familiar to every pastor. The couple that want a church wedding but want nothing to do with the Church.
