I respond to the May 25 Forum column "What does Bible say about abortion? Marriage?" by Nicholas D. Kristof. The _Los Angeles Times_ doesn't much do stories like this one anymore. A shade under 2,000 words, with a good hook and decent depth, this weekend feature about an Okie convert to Islam. Read more on Why did the Christian convert to Islam?… Camping, who predicted that 200 million Christians would be taken to heaven Saturday before global cataclysm struck the planet, said Monday that he felt so terrible when his doomsday message did not come true that he left home and took refuge in a motel with his wife. Follower Jeff Hopkins also spent a good deal of his own retirement savings on gas money to power his car so people would see its ominous lighted sign showcasing Camping's May 21 warning. Camping, who made a special appearance before the press at the Oakland headquarters of the media empire Monday evening, apologized for not having the dates "worked out as accurately as I could have." [...] because God's judgment and salvation were completed on Saturday, there's no point in continuing to warn people about it, so his network will now just play Christian music and programs until the final end on Oct. 21. Monday, rather than give his normal daily broadcast, Camping took questions as a part of his show, "Open Forum," which transmits his biblical interpretations via the group's radio stations, TV channels, satellite broadcasts and website. Signs of disappointment also were evident online, where groups ... And on the seventh day, God rested. * * * advertisment * * * PRINCE William and Kate Middleton have got married.

She knows what it is like to rely on God alone. Contributor: M. Abby Joseph Published: Apr 21, 2011 Some people look at _Newsweek_'s precipitous decline as an example of how to destroy a magazine. (Its most recent issue had six ads.) Other people apparently want to emulate it. Or so I'm led to believe by _TIME_ magazine's decision to have former _Newsweek_ editor Jon Meacham write its cover story celebrating Rob Bell and his views on hell. Read more on Hell isn't for real?… Using apps that let you tweet Bible verses or those that help you face Mecca or pray the right Hebrew blessings with the right foods, some of the pious are embracing smartphones. NGO report says church fails to act effectively in tackling violence against women in Rwanda, Liberia and Congo Churches can "no longer remain silent on the issue of sexual violence", according to a Christian NGO, which said religious institutions were failing the communities they were meant to serve by not speaking out against the assault and rape of children. Tearfund, a UK-based Christian relief and development agency, commissioned research on the current and potential role of the church to tackle sexual violence in Rwanda, Liberia and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC). It said the results were a "shocking indictment of the widespread lack of a church-based response". In Silent No More, a report launched at a conference on Monday at Lambeth Palace in London with the support of the archbishops of Canterbury, Burundi and DRC, Tearfund said: "The research showed there have been various responses from the church.

But this, as you'll be aware, is a holier than usual year for the Word – 2011 being the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. Over the weekend, Jeanette Winterson wrote that "the King James translation was written to be read out loud" – and she speaks as one who knows, having grown up in a household where virtually nothing else was read and begun her prodigious literary career as a pint-sized Pentecostalist preacher aged six. The book's founding spirit, meanwhile, is being honoured at the Bath literature festival next week with a round-the-clock reading of all 66 books in the first five days of March. Literary stars such as Alexander McCall Smith and Adam Nicolson have volunteered to step up to the pulpit, as well as actors Bill Paterson and Timothy West – the latter getting the fireworks-blazing finale, the Book of Revelation. But organisers are very keen for volunteers from the congregation to ...
