Good stewardship takes seriously Jesus’ admonition to give “to the least of these.” But good stewardship also is careful to give to legitimate causes and persons. Because Christians take seriously their opportunities and responsibilities to help others, they are sometimes victimized by unscrupulous con artists.

My grandparents taught me that three topics should be avoided in conversation: race, religion and politics. When you remove those subjects, it does not leave very much for conversation, especially if you live in the American South. My grandparents’ admonition has been on my mind as a long-awaited conference nears. |

A recent Religious Herald included a review of Brian McLaren’s new book Why Did Jesus, Moses, the Buddha, and Mohammed Cross the Road. I first encountered McLaren in college through his book, A New Kind of Christian. My immediate reaction to the book was excitement.

I write to commend the committee appointed by Baptist General Association of Virginia president, Carl Johnson, and chaired by Jim Baucom for the enlightened white paper they produced identifying deficiencies in the BGAV governing apparatus.

I have to tell you that “cutting edge” was not the first thing that came to my mind when I heard Woman's Missionary Union. I could not have been more wrong. I don’t know when the change came along, but the change has come.
