(ABP) -- Two years ago, we moved from west Tennessee to Atlanta for me to begin work at Mercer University. One of the many changes that this move brought to my family was a shift in schooling for my high-school-age children. They went from a mid-size suburban Christian school to a large, urban public school. My son David graduated from that high school last week. |

(ABP) -- Dear Jesus,
Everyone seems to be talking about the poll put out last week by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life. They found that 62 percent of white evangelical Protestants believe “the use of torture against suspected terrorists to gain important information” to be often or sometimes justified. Only 16 percent of this group -- a community that by self-definition is very, very serious about following you -- believes torture is never justified. That number was lower than any other group polled.

(ABP) -- The recent release of four key memos from President Bush’s Justice Department does not exhaust the revelations that are still to come related to the brutal interrogation policies of our government in the years following the 9/11 attacks. But the memos and a recently leaked February 2007 Red Cross report on the same subject now provide us the best evidence yet concerning both what the Bush administration authorized, in its dry legalese, and what the implementation of those policies actually looked like as experienced individually by its victims. |

(ABP) -- The Christian faith presents as its central image a bleeding man dying a cruel death on a Roman cross. We say that this Friday-afternoon misery was the central event in both human and divine history. We most often emphasize that the cross was redemptive -- it opened the door to the world’s salvation. But it was also representative -- it signifies and represents our human story. And Christians believe it signifies and represents God’s story as well. |
