New Links
If you look at the sidebar you will find a new catagory and a couple of new links. I wanted to give a description of them and why they are on the site as they branch out beyond the narrowly sectarian and purely bible links I started with. It won’t be a common thing, but these two seem to deserve a nod.
The first one is GetReligion. It is a blog by a group of religion beat reporters whose main beef is that scare-quotes ‘mainsteam reporters’ just don’t get religion or the religious. The lack of understanding colors all the news that we receive as their metal filters never get or even inquire about the religious angle. This site is their attempt to point eggregious examples and to encourage better understanding.
The second site is On Faith. This is a response by the Washington Post and Newsweek to ‘get religion’.
Neither site is written from a strictly Christian viewpoint (GetReligion might be closer than On Faith), but both are well written attempts to treat religion as something other than a ghetto or subculture story.
