By Henry Neufeld Dave Black warns us today against the cult of the speaker. (With permission I’ve extracted the relevant portion as a post at JesusParadigm.com since Dave’s blog doesn’t allow linking to a specific post.)

By Henry Neufeld I’ve been watching this story for a few days. For those who haven’t been keeping up with the news, the Obama administration is proposing rules that would require all employers to provide coverage for contraception in their health care plans. Catholics are in an uproar over this. The White House has responded (HT: Unsettled [...]
By Henry Neufeld As an ex-SDA who is now Methodist, I just have to share this video:

By Henry Neufeld School suspends cancer survivor over long hair he intends to donate, says the headline at The Detroit News.

I think we should respect people’s decisions as they made them while they could still communicate with us. On the other hand, it suggests Mitt Romney really does believe what he claims–about his faith at least.
