Whenever there is a catastrophe, some religious people inevitably ask, 'Why didn't God do something? Where was God when all those people died?'

Flipping the dial through available radio stations there will blare out to any listener an array of broadcasts, 24/7, propagating Religious Right politics, along with what they deem to be “old-time gospel preaching.” This is especially true of what comes over the airwaves in Bible Belt southern states.

President Bush once said that marriage is a sacred institution and should be reserved for the union of one man and one woman. If this is the case - and most Americans would agree with him on this - then I have to ask: Why is the government at all involved in marrying people?

Because of the increase in life longevity, America can now assume that at any given time three, and perhaps four, former presidents will still be alive, even when the current president is occupying the White House.

Marriage should be viewed as an institution ordained by God and should be out of the control of the state.

A career public speaker is not what I'm called to be. I'm called to be a critic.

Relegating women to second-class citizenship was abolished when Jesus died on the cross.

As we consider the causes of depression, those of us in the church must face the ways we might be responsible for creating it.

I applaud the growing commitment of Evangelicals to the needs of the poor and oppressed in urban America.

Most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - and I am an evangelical, so I can say most of my fundamentalist brothers and sisters - are quite willing to pack women off and send them as missionaries to dangerous places where they might get killed.

Beyond these models of reconciliation, a theology of mysticism provides some hope for common ground between Christianity and Islam. Both religions have within their histories examples of ecstatic union with God, which seem at odds with their own spiritual traditions but have much in common with each other.
Tony Campolo
Evangelicals need to take a good look at what their issues are. Are they really being faithful to Jesus? Are they being faithful to the Bible?
Tony Campolo
I am relatively sure, from conversations that I had with former president Bill Clinton, that George Bush seldom called upon him for advice.

Our call is to be God's agents, to rescue not only the human race but the whole of creation.
