I’m a racist and you probably are too

Last updated on: June 18, 2015 at 2:55 pm By Dan Wilkinson

Our conscious and unconscious associations regarding race affect how we act. They affect what we say and what we do. They affect how we treat other people and in turn how we're treated. They affect who is listened to and who is ignored, who is believed and who is doubted, who is passed by and who is stopped, who is given a second chance and, sometimes, who is killed. Read more

Being and Becoming Children of God

Last updated on: November 10, 2014 at 10:37 am By Chuck Queen

I grew up with a theology that said all children are children of God—that is, until they reach the age of accountability. I was also indoctrinated into a belief in total depravity: that we are all born sinners and inherit a sinful nature. Somehow we had to harmonize these two positions, and the way we did it was by postulating an age of accountability. It’s kind of ironic because we prided ourselves in being Bible believers, yet there are no... Read more

Mary Curran Hackett’s novel provides “Proof of Angels”

Last updated on: November 4, 2014 at 10:32 am By Dan Wilkinson

Instead, her novel, Proof of Angels (William Morrow, $14.99), tells a feel-good tale of redemption and personal growth that touches on important social and spiritual issues. Proof of Angels tells the story of Sean Magee, a Los Angeles firefighter who, after having been forced to jump from the third story of a burning house, must negotiate physical, emotional and...

Reading the Bible like a cowboy riding an ostrich into the sunset

Last updated on: October 27, 2014 at 3:12 pm By Dan Wilkinson
