  1. I&C Shopper’s News

    by Sally Thomas 10 . 5 . 09

It’s been a not-unexciting week around here, but let’s see what’s happening in the wide world:

Russia Fined, Refuses to Recognize Scientology as Religion

Episcopalians Get Spiritual, Grow Basil

Christian Filmmakers to Focus on Making Good Movies

History Too Kind to Confucius?

Church-State Compromise; or, Just Not on the Football Field, Okay?


Leader to Mormons: Be Nice.

World Animal Day: Saint Francis Retained as Optional Mascot

Court Upholds Instrumental-Performance Ban; Students Ask, “But What If We Renamed It Something That Scans the Same, Like Maybe ‘Are You On Facebook?’ Could We Play It Then?”


Thought-Provoking Art Challenges Comfortable Religious Assumptions, Again



Today’s headline miscellany brought to you by:

The Free Do-It-Yourself Prayer Line

The “Remind Me Why I’m Paying $30 for a Dish Someone Else’s Kid Painted at Glaze-to-Amaze” Thanksgiving Platter

and I Feel Good About Me: the Eco-Shopping Network

The dead horse comes to us via the vigilant Michael Linton. Thanks, Mike.
