Presuppositions Matter, So Let’s Work Together
It is truly amazing to encounter Protestants who believe that their views on theology and justice are objective and neutral — as if the Fall did not happen. In a recent discussion about the sacraments, a leader of an international ministry said to me, “If hermeneutics involves being taught to believe a certain theology, then it is not true hermeneutics. Hermeneutics is absolutely neutral.” After reading ment I wondered, what possible world is he talking about where neutrality actually happens?...
Explainer: What Happens During a Government Shutdown?
Why is there a potential government shutdown? Under the Constitution, Congress must pass laws to spend money. If Congress can’t agree on a spending bill the government does not have the legal authority to spend money. Since the government runs on a fiscal year from October 1 to September 30, the spending authorization ends today. The Republican-controlled House passed a continuing resolution on September 20 that would have kept the government running until mid-December but would have cut funding to...
Shareholder Activists More Goliath than David
When graying cohorts of nuns, priests, clergy and other religious proxy shareholders hitched their wagon to the Center for Political Accountability’s crusade against Citizens United and corporate political spending, it was reported by most news sources as cute and endearing. After all, it’s a bit of the David v. Goliath scenario playing out as the faith-based underdogs take panies with sinister motives and deep pockets full of “dark money” which they spread around to the American Legislative Exchange Council, the...
Video: Samuel Gregg Discusses Syria, Tea Party Catholic
Samuel Gregg, Acton’s Director of Research, joined host Perry Atkinson on Thursday’s edition of Focus Today, which webcasts daily atTheDove.tv. You can watch the interview, which touched on the Syrian crisis and Sam’s latest book, below. [product sku=”1415″] ...
White House: We Don’t Negotiate With (GOP) Terrorists
In what presumably was a misguided attempt to have Aaron Sorkin pen their newest round of armor-piercing media talking points, the White House sent adviser Dan Pfeiffer to the set of CNN’s The Lead with Jake Tapper armed to the teeth with explosive political metaphors meant to describe the GOP’s position on debt-ceiling negotiations. TAPPER: You saw — and this is the final question. You saw today a new Bloomberg News poll indicating that the American people support by a...
Extreme Couponing as Workfare
I’m not an aficionado of the showExtreme Couponing, but I have seen it a couple times, and have been amazed at the industriousness of the people on the show. It shouldn’t be surprising, perhaps, that in the midst of economic downturn more generally the practice of clipping coupons has e more widespread as well as more extreme. It makes sense that when times are tight and you are looking to scrimp and save every penny in your budget that increased...
Does Having More Christians Boost a Nation’s Credit Rating?
According to a new study by Dick Slikker, “changes in the percentage of Christians within a society exert a measurable correlated influence of the economic well-being of that society”—particularly when those Christians are evangelicals. Kate Tracy summarizes the findings at Christianity Today: Dutch researcherDick Slikkerwanted to assess the Marxist theory that increases in prosperitylead to decreasesin religious practice. So he examined the past decade’s worth of data from countries including the United States, Belgium, China, Germany, Iceland, Italy, the Netherlands,...
How Christians Become Cultural Leaders
Christianity can and should be a leading influence in human culture, says Greg Forster. We do this not by seizing control of the institutions of culture but acting as cultural entrepreneurs — like the biblical figure Job: Before he was stricken, Job was a cultural leader. People looked to him for wisdom. And the word “because” in verse 12 indicates that he’s about to tell us why people looked to him for wisdom. Was it because he was smarter? Was...
Surplus = Happiness, Deficit = Misery
Wilkins Micawber, the namesake for the Micawber Principle.Joe Carter points to a Lifehacker article that sums up two basic equations that lead to the creation of wealth (with what I consider to be a clarifying correction applied in the first formula): e > spending = surplus Surplus x time = wealth Likewise, Wilhelm Röpke, in his A Humane Economy, points to two equations arising from classical literature that connect surplus with happiness and deficit to misery (the Micawber Principle). According...
ArtPrize Continues; Acton Hosts Five Artists
ArtPrize, the largest petition in the world held annually in Grand Rapids, Mich., continues until October 6. The Acton Building is hosting five artists, whose work can be viewed here. One of the great things about ArtPrize is that it allows for much conversation about the creative process. On the streets, in the venues, at the coffee shops, one hears conversations about how an artist managed a particular technique, what inspired a piece of art, or what the underlying meaning...
