Byhenry November 19, 2010

I think the combination of ignorance and bigotry expressed by opponents of this church is both said and somewhat frightening.

The Search for Ideological Perfection
Byhenry July 19, 2006
The Washington Post has a story about conservative intellectuals who are becoming infuriated with what they see as inaction in recent foreign policy decisions by the Bush administration. In the article, Bush faces backlash on the right, they quote a number of people in this category, but this one summarizes it: “It is Topic A…

Few Knew Health Care Bill Got No Republican Support
Byhenry January 29, 2010
I don’t think this is a major issue against the Republicans, in the sense that I don’t think they should be criticized for managing to be united in opposing something that they, well, oppose. That’s good politics, and if they really do oppose the bill (and I’m not certain about some of them) it’s honest…

I’d Like to See an End to Christian Politics
Byhenry October 27, 2016
When I first set out to join a United Methodist congregation, I asked the pastor for definitive information on United Methodist beliefs. With much trepidation, he provided me with a United Methodist Discipline. I read the first hundred or so pages, not being too interested in the details of the church’s committee structures, including the…
