Do you feel that tech can provide a more effective way of practicing religion? We Lutherans trace our history back to the Reformation in…

By Vincent Gonzalez

…After passing the application’s obligatory security PIN system (conventional online security measures are the app’s primary faith-orientation), you come to an interface resembling a confessional booth. Through the left door you can “confess,” offering your sins to whoever is listening; behind the closed door you can “absolve” any sins received; and at the far side you can “reflect,” considering the shared confessions of others, conveniently arran…

And if not, what really motivated this attack? In the late 1990s, religion schola…

…tional, and physical well-being. It is only fitting that Peter Christian Hall’s online novel American Fever: A Tale of Romance and Pestilence, should appear now, during this season for fear. The premise is simple: The narrator sells flu protection gear (masks, goggles, disinfectant) out of his Lower East Side apartment as a deadly H5N1 pandemic washes over the city, causing massive casualties and wreaking havoc to the social fabric.
