		<description><![CDATA[Yes, it&#8217;s an option and no, it&#8217;s not unchristian. Here is a view that many have endorsed in the Mennonite Weekly Review,
Elections give us the illusion of choice, but the choices usually are options offered by the “oligarchies,” options shaped by lobbyists and bankrolled by corporations. Candidates make promises but then have no power to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am currently reading Being Consumed:Economics and Christian Desire by William T. Cavanaugh. The author provides a theological and cultural analysis of our consumer society. He presents consumerism not as materialism, but as spirituality gone wrong. Consumerism has many of the elements associated with spirituality: the search for transcendence, detachment, community, and human solidarity. Cavanaugh [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[See this video by Jennifer Roach about the sad history of women in Christianity. A history that betrays the message and work of Jesus. One tragic response to the youtube post of the video was:
&#8220;Sometimes I wish God had made me a man. I feel that He cursed me by making me a woman sometimes.&#8221; [...]]]></description>

 The Entombment by Caravaggio, 1602
document.write(aotd_picInfo);
I can&#8217;t remember the first time I saw a baptism, I am sure it was a full body dunk of an adult convert to Christianity. I distinctively remember the first foot washing I witnessed at a pentecostal camp meeting. Since then both adult baptisms and foot washings are a rare [...]]]></description>

In it he writes about how the center of Christianity is moving to Africa and Asia where the bible is a living book. Christianity as experienced by the [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yesterday I started the day by laughing at the idea of a Christian Taliban like in this blog posting by Bible Girl. It&#8217;s the sort of accusation that comes up when Christian parents are trying to control what their own children are being taught or exposed to. It&#8217;s usually voiced by westerners who have no [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Religion professor Donna Freitas has a giddy NPR commentary about Madonna&#8217;s recent performance of staging her own mock crucifixion.  Drawing the attention of the Vatican, Madonna&#8217;s latest stunt has been all over the news so it&#8217;s hard to miss. Is Madonna&#8217;s performance blasphemy or good art helping us identify with Jesus in our own [...]]]></description>
