Note: For the purposes of this discussion it should be understood that when I’m referring to that which is properly “Christian Ethics,” I’m referring to the idea that that which is Christian is also Biblical. So for the purposes of this post and any discussion about it, think of Christian Ethics as Biblical Ethics and,…

Today in Your Stories we have Eric’s story of combating fundamentalism in his own belief system. Eric is another friend of mine whom started his perpetual journey at around the same time that I did and we’ve talked at length about that journey over the years.

Last week there was a letter to the editor in my local newspaper, the Dodge County news, about the National Day of Prayer events that will take place in my town on May 3rd, 2012.
