Church History And Modern Life- How Is Today’s Date Significant?

What is significant in church history about today’s date? Does anyone out there know? You should. It doesn’t matter if you are Protestant or Roman Catholic, the events which took place on this date shook the church and changed it in a way that still reverberates today.

When Not Enough Is Too Much

The Columbus Dispatch for Saturday October 27, 2007 reports that more than $1.3 million was spent on the recent effort to repeal the Community Defense Act (CDA).

Legislative Invocations- Another Whiff For The Dispatch

In an editorial in the Columbus Dispatch on Friday October 12, 2007, the editorial writers reveal a glaring double standard in dealing with questions of religious expression vs. any other expression.

Voter ID Law Commentary- A Critical Analysis Exercise

A commentary printed in the Toledo Blade on Friday September 28, 2007 titled “Voter ID laws are solution to a problem that doesn’t exist” is an interesting exercise in critical analysis.

When Is Enough Not Enough- Update

An article in the Columbus Dispatch is helping connect the dots on the fraud-riddled campaign to kill the Community Defense Act (CDA), a law which puts restrictions on what dancers and patrons can do at strip clubs and also (finally) gives some power to local authorities in rural areas to pass effective local restrictions.
