Perhaps because it is not really even news in the strict sense of the word; mainline protestantism has for a long time drifted increasingly into greater engagement with liberal politics. Christianity does not follow one side of the political spectrum or one political party because Christianity bears witness to truth: the truth of Gods revelation, of Gods love, and the truth that Christ suffered, died, was buried, and rose again on the third day in payment for our sins. These are truths wholly independent of political issues, and they are the central concerns of any serious Christian believer. Although they...
...evacuees, the constitutionality of assistance matters far less than the assistance itself. The day before Katrina hit, Albert and Anne Betz moved with Jane Todd, 10, and Owen, 7, out of soon-to-be drowned Pass Christian, Miss., and into a condo in Sandestin, Fla.

Pamuk hopes his case will not count against Turkey's bid. "This is without doubt an example of utmost intolerance," he told Time. "But I don't want that intolerance to be an obstacle in Turkey's road toward...
...break the bank of the federal budget that is currently running about an $8 trillion national debt, about $26,000 per family.? While House Republican leaders do not necessarily disagree with Pence, they have been publicly supportive of the White House. Pence?s official biography says he is ?a Christian, a conservative and a Republican, in that order,? and the interplay of those last two priorities will be in sharp relief this week. House Republican aides said Sunday that leaders would look for ways to satisfy the conservatives of the Republican Study Committee, which Pence chairs...
