…y, as if describing a vanishing art form.) In fact, the date for the first service in October was set not because of some liturgical calendar—say, not because October contains Reformation Sunday, but because of the magazine’s publication schedule.

…ssaging) would be difficult, in part because of the intimate nature of the services the centers provide. “Just gathering the evidence to know what case to bring would be difficult,” said Lynn. “This is a long haul to get from knowing that this is going on instinctively or in conversations and being able to prove that a specific entity used its federal money that was enmeshed with its theological message. That’s a big hurdle. Could it happen? Yes….

A Mennonite on American Obesity

By Lauri Lebo

…Their very existence tends to enable the alcoholism of a portion of their customer base. The fact of the matter is that people who lack self control are often enabled in their addictions by buffets and bars.
