		<description><![CDATA[This past weekend I participated in a Christmas ritual that many parents struggle with: a visit with Santa Claus. Why the struggle? For some parents, Christmas and Santa Claus go together like white and red striping on candy canes. You cannot separate the two. Santa is everywhere and just about every culture. For others, Christmas [...]]]></description>

This week, President Obama was called the &#8220;Anti-Christ&#8221; as a protester shouted directly to Obama from the front row of a fundraiser speech.

Robert Schuller founded the church and recently retired as the church&#8217;s senior pastor.  In turn, the church never fully recovered from Schuller&#8217;s pastoral departure. Though he stayed on the church&#8217;s governing board, two of his children took a [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve made the case many times on this blog that several Baptist/evangelical/congregational churches are becoming more liturgical: printed prayers, responses, confession, creeds, lectionary, robes, candles, and hymns.  Evangelical and Baptist churches are following the Liturgical Calendar and worshiping in several non-traditional worship styles.  Notably Taize and Iona.
