		<description><![CDATA[From the paralyzing gridlock in Congress to the painful divisions we experience in the Church of the Brethren, the past year has underscored the poisonous consequences of our disunity.  But I think there’s something each of us can do to make 2012 different. It’s no mystery as to why we are troubled.  Our economy is [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve heard them described as `Cafeteria Catholics&#8217; for the way they personally select the church doctrines they will actually practice.   I&#8217;ve tended to hear it from scriptural literalists claiming to follow the `whole bible&#8217;, aimed at liberals who cherry pick their favorite teachings and ignore the rest.

		<description><![CDATA[Have you ever noticed that some people seem confused about who they are? At times, they fit neatly into our pre-conceived notions. Sometimes, not so much. I’ve even noticed some folks who seem to have difficulty distinguishing the person they know themselves to be from the person others see when they look at them. I’m [...]]]></description>
