...America, where Christianity and politics are so often intertwined. Atheist Gina Welch wanted to bridge that gap. So she went undercover for two years, joining a megachurch and revealing her nonbeliever status to no one. She eventually became a true part of the community, even going on a mission trip with people she now considers friends. Welch details her journey in a new book, In the Land of Believers: An Outsider's Extraordinary Journey into the Heart of the Evangelical Church. She talked with TIME about pastor Jerry Falwell and why even atheists can respect Christian evangelism. (See 10 surprising...

Many of his family and friends will be in attendance, and Duxbury High School’s lacrosse team will play a game at Harvard Stadium earlier...
...while Hu can't expect to win much in the way of U.S. concessions on Taiwan and Tibet, his trip to the U.S. could prove valuable on other fronts. China has traditionally stood on the sidelines of major international gatherings of political leaders, in keeping with the dictum of former leader Deng Xiaoping that the Chinese should "disguise their ambitions and hide their claws." As a result, Chinese economic clout now outweighs its diplomatic leverage and soft power. "China has been reluctant to be put in the traditional order," says Xingdong Chen, the chief China economist for BNP Paribas Securities...
