Bishop, Priest, Protester Arrested in Trinity Wall Street/Occupy Clash

…ad seemed to backpedal, issuing a clarification on the Trinity Wall Street website that included a rebuke of those who might use his previous statement in support of civil disobedience at Duarte Square: I also now challenge those who disagree with Trinity.

…tine O’Donnell’s victory in the Delaware Senate primary on Tuesday. On its website, the group enthused: The O’Donnell win adds to a string of victories for GOA-backed candidates this year in Senate primaries in Nevada, Kentucky, Utah, Colorado, as well as the non-primary in Florida (where Marco Rubio chased Gov.

When I asked Gothard whether he teaches that wives should submit to their husbands’ authority, he laughed, answering, “no, no,” adding, that Jesus taught “he who is the greatest among you be the servant of all. That makes the woman the greatest of all because she has served every single person in the world by being in her womb.” G…

Trend Watch: “Progressive Christian”

…des Society, even the Pilgrim Center for Reconciliation (at least when its website is up and running), which is a progressive retreat center of sorts. That, if you can believe it, is just a quick and dirty list. I’ve probably missed somebody. But it’s sufficient to demonstrate a couple of things, I think.

…ensorship. Web 2.0, in short, is here masterfully summarized: “It’s a damn website that any schmuck can modify.” A web 2.0 community is only as useful as users make it. Trust is key. User corruption erodes these communities. Revolts ensue. Users flee.
