New today (and yesterday) from the Century:

  • Brad Hill on people who hijack church meetings: "In many cases, shouting 'Elephant in the room!' is an attempt to avoid other,
    lesser, lurking creatures." (subscription required)
  • Craig Barnes on the pastor as sheepdog: "I am cherished, and called by the Shepherd to serve the flock. But I can save no one." (subscription required)
  • Amy Frykholm on the morning communion rush at the Chicago Temple: "When John Wesley sent missionaries to America, he said
    simply, 'Offer them Christ.' That's what the Chicago Temple sees itself doing,
    no questions asked."
  • Steve Thorngate on the National Prayer Breakfast: "My problem isn't simply a secularist one, i.e.
    government officials should avoid any event with a smack of
    sectarianism. What I object to is the political exploitation of the
    importance of prayer in American life."
  • Ryan Dueck on updating his religion
  • "Pietà," a poem by Maria Garriott
