This is definitely one of the more intriguing match-ups of the Round of the Saintly Sixteen. Beloved Spanish mystic vs. the architect of Anglicanism’s Three-Legged Stool of Scripture, Tradition, and Reason. Dramatic visions vs. theological brilliance. Carmelite Nun vs. Anglican Priest. But first, an update. John Chrysostom and Isaac Watts had to go to overt […] - Call for Submissions

Boing Boing
Like many in the insulated west, I've long been fascinated by North Korea, what life is like in there, and what will happen to the peninsula after the walls come down. (Of course, I'm half a world away, so I have the luxury of being fascinated with North Korea. Life inside the country, I suspect, is beyond rough and might get even worse in the firs […] - New York cabbies caught overcharging passengers - 1.8 million times
Gadling
Filed under: North America, United States, NewsThe New York Taxi and Limousine Commission has uncovered a massive scam/scheme in which 1.8 million riders were overcharged. The scheme netted 36,000 drivers an extra $8.3 million in cab fares, charging passengers about $5 too much for each ride. The overcharging wasn't even that hard for them to pull off - […] - Eat with your Eyes: Straight out of the Package
Candy Blog
I love opening a candy wrapper and finding a picture perfect bar inside. It’s so satisfying to get something that lives up to its name and its legacy. Nestle got kind of lazy in the 80s and early 00s, but I think they’re coming around. I’m hoping the reinvigorated Wonka line will trickle down to the standards like the classic Crunch bar.

TitusOneNine
In a tense, 43-minute phone call on Friday morning, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton told Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel’s plan for new housing units for Jews in East Jerusalem sent a “deeply negative signal” about Israeli-American relations, and not just because it spoiled a visit by Vice President Joseph R. Biden Jr. Mr. Biden, in I […] - Son House, "Death Letter" (Greatest Song of All Time of the Day)
Boing Boing
I could go on all weekend about Son House, one of the top and longest-lasting country bluesman, but I'll be kind to you and get to the music quickly. His original recordings are messages from a foreign land, his sessions and concerts after rediscovery rival Skip James' (hear an interview with John Fahey and the future Dr. Demento from that period), […] - Edward Pentin (NC Reporter):Standing Up for Priests in the Abuse Crisis
TitusOneNine
As accusations of clerical sexual abuse continue to emerge, most recently in Ireland, Germany, Austria and the Netherlands, a conversation I had recently with a Vatican official offered a timely reminder not to forget what is often overlooked: the well-being of priests in all of this. He pointed out that while each case must, of course, be treated with the u […] - Tutu op-ed calls for full human rights for African LGBT people.
The Lead
Archbishop Desmond Tutu, in the Washington Post, writes forcefully: "Hate has no place in the house of God". He takes politicians in Africa to task for fomenting hatred and fear of gay and lesbian people as a tool to gain more power for themselves. "It is time to stand up against another wrong. Gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered people a […] - A Dispute on Using the Koran as a Path to Jesus

On Feb. 3, Ergun Caner, president of the Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary, in Lynchburg, Va., focused attention on a Southern Baptist controversy when he called Jerry Rankin, the president of the denomination’s International Mission Board, a liar. Dr. Caner has since apologized for his language, but he still maintains that the “Camel Method,” a strategy […] - Talking speeds

A widening child sexual abuse inquiry in Europe has landed at the doorstep of Pope Benedict XVI, as a senior church official acknowledged Friday that a German archdiocese made “serious mistakes” in handling an abuse case while the pope served as its archbishop. The archdiocese said that a priest accused of molesting boys was given therapy in 1980 and later a […] - NPR—Christian Groups Find Way Around High Health Costs
TitusOneNine
As policymakers in Washington, D.C., debate overhauling health care, several evangelical Christian groups have found a way of getting around the high cost of health insurance. Instead of paying premiums, they simply agree to pay each other's medical bills. The groups are not regulated because unlike insurance there's no guarantee an individual […] - GSE4 Media/Press Accreditation Application

TitusOneNine
Rabbi Harold Kushner.... tells NPR's Renee Montagne. "There's always a fresh supply of grieving people asking, 'Where was God when I needed him most?' " That's a question Kushner himself confronted as a young father when his first-born child died, leading him to rethink his view of an omnipotent God. "It just seemed so […]
