Chicago is buzzing over the abrupt announcement by controversial sportswriter Jay Marriotti that he is leaving the Chicago Sun-Times because the newspaper business is dead and doesn’t want to go down with the ship. While there is a little more to the whole thing, I think his observation of the Olympics coverage was telling. The […]

After much waiting, here’s a new podcast and its a review of the bestseller The Shack.

I recently finished The Shack by William Young. A viral best seller, I would describe it as the heart of Mitch Albon (Five People You Will Meet in Heaven) and the offbeat, relational faith of Don Miller (Blue Like Jazz) with a Christian core that would make sense to an Greek Orthodox Christian.

I just found this article online from First Things: The Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life. The death of the mainline, highlighted by the aging of its members and of its clergy, has been much talked about but this is an exceptionally good evaluation of the situation. At 44, I’m still young by my […]
