New study says Internet could be why Americans are losing their religion

Last updated on: April 6, 2014 at 3:30 pm By Guest Contributor

New research from Allen Downey, a computer scientist at Olin College of Engineering in Massachusetts, shows a startling correlation between the rise of the Internet and the decline of religious affiliation in the United States. According to MIT Technology Review, back in 1990 only eight percent of the U.S. population did not have a religious affiliation. Twenty years later in 2010 that number was up to 18 percent. That is a jump of 25 million people. Americans seem to be losing their... Read more

Can the Church Get ‘Turnt’ Up? On the Hymns & Hip Hop Conference

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 8:01 pm By Guest Contributor

Can the church say Amen? Who’s ready to get “turnt up?” These sentiments and seemingly conflicting statements described the mighty movement of the Hymns & Hip Hop (#H3C) conference hosted by the historic Ebenezer Baptist Church and N.E.W. Leadership Academy in Atlanta that was held on March 28-March 30. In a word, this conference was refreshing! As a part of my thesis and graduate work I have attended various conferences that focus on the recent scholarship and issues in/surrounding Hip Hop. There... Read more

Why Martin Luther King Had to Die

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 7:39 pm By Guest Contributor

On February 12, 1968, Martin Luther King and his staff completed the master plan for what they dubbed the “Poor People’s Campaign.” The purpose of the campaign was to mobilize masses of impoverished Americans of all races and regions to descend upon the nation’s capital to “place the problems of the poor at the seat of government” and remain until the government announced substantive measures to address their plight. King was uniquely positioned to lead so bold a challenge to... Read more

Love and Limits

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 7:18 pm By Guest Contributor

by Peter Gathje R3 Contributor Hospitality isn’t all sweetness and light. Mark came in for a shower at Manna House today. But he was drunk. So I had a short conversation with him, and not one that was pleasant for him or for me. “Mark, we can’t let you shower today.” “Why not?” “You’ve been drinking.” “I’ve had some, but I’m ok.” “No. You’re not ok. You can’t shower here today. You’re not steady on your feet. You could fall... Read more

Metropolitan Baptist Church faces foreclosure on ‘God’s Promised Land in Largo”

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 6:13 pm By Guest Contributor

For more than a century, Metropolitan Baptist Church was one of the premier churches in Washington. And for nearly 40 years, the Rev. H. Beecher Hicks Jr. forged a reputation as a “preacher’s preacher,” gathering a flock of as many as 7,000 people at the red brick church at 13th and R streets NW. It was a must stop for local politicians during election seasons, and sitting presidents, including Bill Clinton, would attend services there. Now, the congregation is meeting... Read more

Neil deGrasse Tyson and ‘Cosmos’ Strengthen Religion and Faith for Some

Last updated on: April 5, 2014 at 5:44 pm By Guest Contributor

Neil deGrasse Tyson, the brilliant man behind the re-imagined Carl Sagan television series Cosmos, has created a lot of controversy lately. Young earth creationists are angry at deGrasse Tyson and the show because creationists believe that the earth is about six thousand years old; an idea that is directly contradicted by easily observable scientific evidence. However, while some are very angry with deGrasse Tyson and Cosmos, the show can actually strengthen religion and faith for others. On last Sunday’s episode of Cosmos, deGrasse Tyson... Read more
