I found this story in the New York Times to be telling of the mental state of America. A former facility of Bethlehem Steel has been converted to a $743 million Sands casino and enjoying a lucrative opening. We have come to believe that the main component of success is luck. Instead of work, thrift, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In these times of economic dread this essay by Peggy Noonan at the Wall Street Journal made me happy. The upside to this mess is a more human society and possibly the come back of some form of authentic religion instead of the mass produced variety we have been plagued by. No more more mega-church?

		<description><![CDATA[In the last few years we have been hearing about our need to consume less, save resources, recycle, drive less, or not drive at all. Well, we are finally doing it and what happens, our neighbor looses his job. Now we read reports that we are saving our way right into an economic depression. I [...]]]></description>

Instead, the city wants the homeless to go to the municipal shelters. The story is brief so it seems there must be more to the story. If the report is accurate, in [...]]]></description>

Consumerism has many of the elements associated with spirituality: the search for transcendence, detachment, community, and human solidarity. Cavanaugh [...]]]></description>

Whether it&#8217;s in the central city, or the suburbs, rich or poor, America is suffering from relational fragmentation. These are the times when the need isn&#8217;t for more information about God, or even a better church to [...]]]></description>
