...cultural and a stylistic gap that has come into play on this issue," Obama said Saturday. "I haven't figured out exactly how this is managed ... But I am confident that we are going to be able to find a church we feel comfortable with and that will reflect our concerns and values...
...nation's recent history was a series of avalanches in the 1990s that killed over 30 people. But if the hundreds of volunteers, the dozens of converted emergency 4x4s, the strategic maps and the shelter tents seem like overkill in response to the day's minor toll, they also reflect the fragility and communal sense of responsibility fostered by Iceland's isolation.

The goal is to save money...
...There was a peculiar offhandedness to the way Warren invited the conference, at the very end of the proceedings, to join his coalition - an approach that may reflect concern about getting drawn too deeply into the specifics of a plan that promises to be extremely complicated and possibly controversial. The PEACE program is an attempt to radically re-engineer Evangelicalism's huge missionary culture, connecting individual churches in the U.S. to congregations in target countries rather than funneling aid and evangelism through agencies that send trained professionals into the field. One of the coalition's theoretical benefits would be efficiency...
