Carnival!
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.

I’ve lost where the next carnival posting is going to be. Is there still a list somewhere? I’m feeling a tad slow this morning….

Andrea, I’m pretty sure Thurman will either post the next Carnival here, or he’ll post here to let folks know where to find the next Carnival when it goes live. One way or another, subscribing to this blog will keep you “in the loop”!

Thanks for the father’s day link to my blog. But I’m not clear about the context the link was put in. Just in case there is any issue, my father passed away and i still love and miss him terribly even though our relationship was… bittersweet in some respects. I didn’t elaborate on my blog but I hope that, just because i chose to include links to Boy named Sue and Cats in the Craddle for that day, people don’t assume those songs are close to what my relationship with my father was like or some kind of anti-father’s day statement or anything of that nature.
Thanks again for including the link.

I think I’m supposed to host the blog carnival this week. Any idea if this is true?
