Vol. 1 No. 10 – October 9, 2006

The Pope’s intended Limbo trumpery is the framework for a leading article on dogma generally – how is dogma set; and how maintained? And how discarded?

Tart considers the vision of the new leader of world Methodism – looking East and to Africa to reclaim the Church’s mission.

A divisive debate about whether military chaplains should be allowed to pray "in Jesus' name" before a religiously mixed audience is resolved before a House-Senate conference committee. Or not.

The influence of Evangelical Christianity over American voters appears to be waning. In 2004, white evangelical or born-again Christians made up a quarter of the electorate, and 78 percent of them voted Republican, according to exit polls. But some pollsters believe that evangelical support for the GOP peaked two years ago and that what has been called the "God gap" in politics is shrinking.

But considering the status of Limbo – how can religion be taken seriously?

How?!
