Daniel Jepsen on “Promethean Faith”
Promethean Faith by Daniel Jepsen * * * I saw the SF movie Prometheus last week. I won’t review it or summarize it here except to note that it featured a creature far rarer than aliens in Hollywood’s universe: a practicing Christian.

Note from CM: One avenue of interest that I like to explore as I write is the craft of writing itself.

Guest Post: Quiet Desperation
NOTE FROM CM: Here is another email I received in response to the Driscoll post. This one is personal, poignant — a real challenge to the church. Having two sons in their 20’s, I often wonder how to help them deal with the kinds of issues today’s author brings to us. The author of thisContinue reading “Guest Post: Quiet Desperation”
The AMiA Leaves Rwanda: What Happened?
Note from CM: Perhaps you’ve read stories in recent days about the separation of the Anglican Mission in the Americas (AMiA) from its majority-world leadership in the Church of Rwanda. The AMiA (founded in 2000) is based in South Carolina, and has been under the oversight of the Rwandan province. It has grown impressively, havingContinue reading “The AMiA Leaves Rwanda: What Happened?”
