Is Britney Spears the Prodigal Daughter?
I have two snapshots of Britney Spears stuck in my brain. The first is from the late 1990s. I was living in Atlanta and had started attending a cool new church. It was a church "unplugged" - the pastor was young and sat on a stool and talked about Jesus and U2 and Quentin Tarantino.
Meet Zach Hunter - The Teenage Abolitionist
Fifteen-year-old Zach Hunter is just like any ordinary American kid. He likes listening to music, reading, and running after what he is passionate about. But already at the age of 12, he had a specific passion. It was to 'be the change' and abolish slavery, just as William Wilberforce did 200 years ago. Having launched the 'Loose Change to Loosen Chains' programme in the seventh grade, Zach raised thousands of dollars with the intention of rescuing victims of slavery.

Few men have changed history as profoundly as the English parliamentarian William Wilberforce.

Come All Ye Faithful; Bring Your Bible, Hymn Book... and U2
I sit on the sofa, listening to U2's "If God will Send His Angels", not because I am Bono's #1 fan but because I want to hear what is captivating the churches lately: the "U2charist".
Philip Aspinall, Archbishop of Brisbane at Anglican Tanzania Summit
It's good to be with you again to give you a brief update on today's proceedings; as I anticipated with you last evening, we spent the morning today considering further the Primates' responses to The Episcopal Church's reactions to the Windsor Report and the Dromantine requests from the Primate.

Giant St Columba Statue a Good Thing
The UK has never been big on big. Even Canary Wharf in London, home to the UK's tallest building at a mere 50 floors, huddles on the edge of the city where its towers can safely cast their ballooning shadows over the half-empty streets of nearby housing complexes.
Rick Warren: Don't Let Legalism Kill Your Joy in Ministry
Legalism is a ministry killjoy. It destroys the natural joy that comes from serving others in ministry like nothing else I've seen. I've seen more ministries ruined by legalism than anything else.
