…to take root in Palestine. But that same social context also gave rise to new Arab newspapers such as El Carmel and El Palestine, around which coalesced a collective Palestinian identity.

Focus on the Family’s New Face?

By Sarah Posner

…ints. Fleece had cited the Tim Tebow Super Bowl ad as an example of FOFA’s new approach.

By Kelli D. Potter

…pronouncements about trans folk and the changes in policy reflected in the new handbook insisting that ‘gender’ means ‘biological sex at birth.’ You’d think that God would possess the foresight to include this in the Proclamation in the first place.
