Oh, that Damascus road!
As the masthead of this weblog says, we all know that there are times when reporters just don’t “get” religion. And then there are times when it seems that copy editors just don’t “get” what some religious terms mean or do not mean. It’s a puzzle.

Anglican pie fight: Update
As you may recall, I urged readers to let me know if there were any mainstream news updates on that strange event the other day at Grace Episcopal (or is that Anglican?) Church in Colorado Springs.

Newsweek's error of biblical proportions
I had one of those days today that took no prisoners. Somebody must have drawn a line in the sand at some point, and I stepped over it without knowing what I was doing. Texans and John Wayne fans will get that reference.

Amen! More candor, please
Well, I really think I have to agree with veteran columnist and media critic John Leo. The following sentences are some of the strangest I have read in a major newspaper in a long time.
