Mollie at GetReligion has posted a really interesting entry about Protestants and Natural Family Planning. This is typically a Roman Catholic practice, but it seems that quite a few Protestants, my wife and I included, have taken an interest. I don’t really have any commentary to add to what she posted, so give it a read.
In a (somewhat roundabout) introduction to the story, she posted this:
Last week, Ruth Gledhill at the Times (U.K.) wrote about Archbishop of Canterbury Rowan Williams’ view that gay relationships can be comparable to marriage. Part of his reasoning was the ubiquity and official acceptance of contraception: Read more

I finally got a chance to listen to Wade’s sermon, “Antihomosexual”. I’m going to have to listen to it again before I can comment though, because he said so much.
Anyway, I’ve been thinking on a couple of questions which, I’ve felt like I’ve had answered for a while, but have popped up recently, so I’ve been giving them some more attention. You’ll probably be able to infer the answers I’ve reached in the past by the way each question is framed, which is ok.
1. How do we deal with sin in the body? Greed, gossip, and sexual immorality bounce around the church like so many pinballs, and nothing seems to be interfering. What do we do about it?
Are we only responsible for our own sin, or are we responsible for keeping one another accountable?
2. Is there any sin that isn’t hurting anyone? Read more

Greg Peters over at The Scriptorium has a good analysis of the ECUSA House of Bishops Statement. This line is a home run: “Of course, we are going to veil all of this under the guise of ‘pastoral care,’ but we’re going to do it anyway.”
GetReligion also has some thoughts. Apparently, “The New York Times gets it.”

If this isn’t news, I don’t know what is:
“Over the past 29 years of my life I have been an aggressive, creative and strategic supporter of gay and lesbian issues,” Cothran wrote. “I’ve organized and participated in countless marches and various lobbying efforts in the fight for equal treatment of gay and lesbians.”
A few paragraphs later Cothran dropped her bombshell, “But now, I must come out of the closet again.” She continued, “I have recently experienced the power of change that came over me once I completely surrendered to the teachings of Jesus Christ.”
Yeah, I hadn’t heard about it either. Her conversion is being questioned by some. I don’t know what to think, yet. Maybe if the media would pay a little attention to it, as the SBC Baptist Press think, then we might find out if she’s legit or not. Of course, that’s probably not likely.
