Catching up...

The past few weeks have been a bit sparse around here. Sorry for that! The new job is really eating into my blogging time :-) Anyhow, here’s a quick review of some interesting things I’ve come across recently.

Father Jake points out a new book that should be a very good read – Gays and the Future of Anglicanism: Responses to the Windsor Report. The book isn’t just about its titular issue, though. The writers come from a range of viewpoints including justice for gays, opposition to centralization and the need for legitimate moral diversity within Anglicanism.

Richard over at Imagine takes an interesting look at the book of Job.

Mike of Waving or Drowning? pointed me to an article that talks about how three-quarters of Americans apparently believe that “God helps those who helps themselves” is a quote from the Bible (hint: it’s not!), and about what the consequences of that are.

Finally, Sven is starting a mini-series of blog posts on the Orthodox approach to prayer.

I often think that many people appeal to ‘the Bible says…’ on dozens of issues but no one ever knows where the Bible actually says what they think it says, ‘God helping those who help themselves’ being a good case in point.
