Are you ready for the "Reason Rally"? It's being billed as "The Largest Gathering of the Secular Movement in World History." With atheist extraordinaire Richard Dawkins as the headline speaker, it's planned for March 24, on the National Mall in Washington, D.C.

Last spring I reviewedRadical by David Platt, a call to action to Christians to more fully follow in the footsteps of the One we call “Lord,” by living as He lived and loving as He loved -- by dying to ourselves. Kisses from Katie, by Katie Davis and Beth Clark, is the story of one young woman who is answering that call. Not because Platt gave it, but because Christ did.

The Legacy of Wilberforce, Part 3
All Things Examined

Under the leadership of William Wilberforce, the British slave economy ended, emancipation was won, and compassion became fashionable, all within the span of 50 years. Individually, these accomplishments were remarkable; collectively, they were breathtaking, especially when compared with the experience in the United States.

This is 'better'?

Notorious bullies Dan Savage and Margaret Cho, among others, appear tonight on the Logo network's It Gets Better anti-bullying special. (Logo is the network for "people who identify themselves as gay, straight, either, neither, or both.")
I don't doubt that Savage and the others feel for bullied teens and want to help them. For that much, I give them credit. I just worry that the way they behave to anyone who dares disagree with their ideas and methods, and the example they set, really end up making things worse.

Dissing Women?

I was really psyched to see C. Ben Mitchell on one of the panels speaking before the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee on the health care mandate. Besides having a long list of qualifications, he's also a Colson Center Fellow.
Along with Ben Mitchell, I would have loved to have seen women like Paige Cunningham, executive director of the Center for Bioethics and Human Dignity, or Jennifer Lahl, the founder and president of The Center for Bioethics and Culture Network sitting amongst the men in panel one. (There are plenty of other women who are experts in the field of bioethics as well.)
Once again, Gina Dalfonzo hits the proverbial nail squarely on the head in her Christianity Today article, "Erasing Women." There were women on the second panel that spoke. However, in future -- although pro-abortion strategists would still find a way to distract attention from the real story -- pro-life advocates ought to tighten their strategy by ensuring that a woman is on each panel.

Punished for Faith: The Violation of Julea Ward's Religious Freedom
By: La Shawn Barber|Published: February 20, 2012 6:49 PM
Religious freedom is a precious thing, especially in a world bloated with politically correct pabulum. But that freedom is not absolute. Unlike freedom of belief, it is subject to restrictions. For example, you can sincerely believe your religion requires you to have multiple wives or to kill those who blaspheme your god, but you can't legally practice those beliefs in the United States.

Unmaking Racism: A Review of 'The Post-Racial Church'
By: Zoe Sandvig Erler|Published: February 13, 2012 5:13 PM
The time to abandon racial reconciliation has not and never will come. This ideal is at the very center of what it means to be Christ’s church, as Kenneth Mathews and M. Sydney Park contend in their recent book The Post-Racial Church(2011).
