Carnival!

Filed under: carnival - Thurman @ 10:27 pm

We’ve had a bit of growing pains here lately. Updating the blog meant that we lost the archives for the old carnivals, but I think that they have probably served their place and we’re moving full speed ahead.

I start off by looking at a tale of racial bias. Woodmoor Village looks at another kind of bias. Fortunately, Velveteen Rabbi finds no room for bear bias - as long as they stay outside.

Pearlbear fights bias by looking for similarities. Elsewhere, the lack of diversity cripples progress.

Baraka speaks about finding new leaders. Our next stop finds us meditating on meditation. Then we move on to pondering the effects of discontent. Maybe we’ll consider if "relativism" is relative.

It’s a paradox that freedom must be codified. Such struggles are not new to our generation, though. As surely as night follows day, battles we thought we’d won are re-opened. An ongoing battle for any organization is communication.

It’s enough to cause tears, especially when progress is stymied and obfuscated. But faith refuses to give up.

Changes are afoot among Southern Baptists. Apparently, the WH press corps is changing, too - but not necessarily for the better. But when a follower of Christ can’t be a Christian, what do you expect?

Of course, we also have to remember today is Father’s Day. Happy wishes for all the blogging dads and, of course, those who don’t.
