I don't feel that well today, so no posts---other than this one, which is what it is.

I read through Twenty Years At Hull-House last night and I understand the foundations of the social gospel movement better now.

A quote from the book and then I'll call it a day:

I believe that there is a distinct turning among many young men and women toward this simple acceptance of Christ's message. They resent the assumption that Christianity is a set of ideas which belong to the religious consciousness, whatever that may be. They insist that it cannot be proclaimed and instituted apart from the social life of the community and that it must seek a simple and natural expression in the social organism itself. The Settlement movement is only one manifestation of that wider humanitarian movement which throughout Christendom, but pre-eminently in England, is endeavoring to embody itself, not in a sect, but in society itself. ---Jane Addams, Twenty Years At Hull House ... more

Dear Readers,

I just wanted to give you all our gracious thanks for pushing us over 100 subscribers via Feedburner.  Thank you all for reading and subscribing, and we thank you for spending some of you precious time on our blog and journal. ... more

We would like you to contribute to Everyday Liturgy and/or the Everyday Journal.  We are currently looking for some occasional contributors to the blog, but most importantly we would like contributors to the Everyday Journal. 

If you are a seminary student, a college student, an armchair theologian college professor or just a person with a passion for writing we would love to see your work.

We are looking for articles, meditations, and reviews of movies, music, and art. 

Thom's post on Consumerism and Decay in Jeremiah has been turned into a full article on Jesus Manifesto under the same name, a webzine run by Missio Dei.  The artwork for the article is excellent!

Thanks Jesus Manifesto!

The second Sunday of November is designated as the International Day of Prayer for the Persecuted Church. This year it happens to fall on the same day as Veterans Day here in America. As we take time today to remember those who have fought to preserve our freedoms, let us also take time to remember those who do not enjoy those same freedoms. May we not forget that many Christians throughout the world are not able to freely meet, worship, and discuss their faith. According to the video linked to below, a Christian is martyred every three minutes.

The site is back online!  Posts will be heading your way shortly.
