Great story about Jesus and a gay man, right from the bible, sort of.

Just an interesting fact, I thought: At the beginning of the 20th century 75% of the worldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Christians were in Europe and America. At the beginning of the 21st century 60% of the worldÃ¢â‚¬â„¢s Christians were in Asia, Africa and Latin America. I found that here.

I put this one here just so I could keep track of it.

A good article by the Internet Monk about the meaning of the gospel.

This one is also mostly for me. Some talks by Brian McLaren.

Excellent article by the internet monk. We will have to discuss sometime.

I just read the internet monk article. Favorite quote: "They are clueless, even with their Bible's open, because their pastors have found ways to shut Jesus up and make him the servant of the American dream." I love how the sayings of Jesus can still make people uncomfortable. Spencer mentions Jesus' encouter with the rich man where he tells him to sell everything and give it to the poor, then Spencer describes how quickly a group studying this passage gets nervous and jumps to the point that we don't have to do this today. I've seen that played out so many times.
