Aunt Ida enters the information age with an e-mail account but takes issue with what some people are sending her. She brings her typical homespun wisdom to online gossip. In the old days, gossips could only spread their juicy morsels to a few folks at a time, she says.

Virginia Baptists early established relationships with Indians. John Leland, arguably the most prominent of the 18th-century Virginia Baptist itinerant preachers, wrote that in the 1780s he preached in the “royal pavilion” of an Indian chief, John Tohan. A Baptist presence has continued to the present.

Following a recent service at our church, a visitor tripped over a curb. She maintained to people around her that she was all right but then asked for an ambulance to carry her two and a half blocks to the hospital. By the late afternoon, she was asking for money from the church to cover personal expenses. What should we do?

Throughout the worship service, the man fiddled with his cell phone. I tried not to stare at him, but as his activity became increasingly obvious, his insensitivity became increasingly annoying. While the congregation followed Scripture readings and litanies, he played with his iPhone or Blackberry.
