Pastors, Pulpits, and Politics

The goal of the collection is to bring some wisdom to principled and prudential aspects of addressing plex questions related to responsible ecclesial word and deed today.

Radio Free Acton: Puncturing Progressive Mythology with Larry Reed
FEE President Larry Reed speaks to a full house at the Acton Lecture Series Defenders of individual liberty and the American Constitutional order have long argued that Progressivism is a corrosive philosophy that undermines individual rights while failing to produce the social good claimed by its promoters. Why do progressive solutions to societal and economic problems so often fail?

5 Facts About the Bill of Rights

Paris and the low-carbon conceit of climate activism
Regular readers of this space should consider themselves warned. In the wake of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC, or COP21), so-called “religious” shareholder activists are intent on ruining investments, crashing the economy and doubling down on their efforts to promote energy poverty throughout the world. But don’t take my word for it. Here’s James Corah, Secretary to the Church Investors Group: “Collaborative engagement amongst Church investors has driven significant change in corporate behavior in recent years....

Some recent headlines: December 15: “Why millennials are leaving religion but embracing spirituality”December 14: “Growing number of Millennials shun religion”December 13: “Millennials and religion: The great disconnect”December 9: “Millennials less likely to be religious than older Americans” This certainly sounds bad. Why the recent flurry of these stories? Well, all of them reference a recent survey by the Pew Research Center. By “recent,” I mean it was published November 3. So more than a month ago. There is a real...
The Economics of Bedford Falls (Part I)
Upon it’s initial release in 1946, Frank Capra’s It’s a Wonderful Life was something of a financial flop,failing to reach the break-even point of $6.3 million. Although it was nominated for Best Picture at the Academy Awards, it wasn’t until subsequent decades that it became recognized as one of the greatest Christmas film ever made.* The film is long overdue for another reappraisal, for it’s also one of the best films ever created about economics and financial services. In a...
The Church as Cultural Lifeblood
After years of rejecting or downplaying so-called “organized religion,” evangelicals are beginning to appreciatethe church not only as organism, but as institution. As Robert Joustra explains at Capital Commentary, a “minor renaissance in thinking” is taking place, whereinthe church is viewed “not as a gathering of hierarchy-allergic spiritualists” but as “a brick and mortar institution, something with tradition, and weight, and history.” Evangelicals are beginning to seeview itnotas a “catchphrase and metaphor for likeminded people who love Jesus,” Joustra continues,...

If one were to pinpoint the epicenter of sanctimonious behavior the past two weeks, he or she look no further than Paris.

Mind you, this writer grew up under the tutelage of nuns, and...

OK, this is going to be a tough call. But Acton Research Fellow Jordan Ballor has bravely stepped up with his nominee for the “Worst Christmas Song Ever” in a piece for Patheos. His pick? Band Aid’s syrupy “Do They Know it’s Christmas?” Ballor reminds us that the song … … was released in 1984 as part of Band Aid, an effort organized by Bob Geldof in response to a famine that struck the east African nation of Ethiopia. The...
