Does God Exist? A Debate Between Two Brothers

The Hitchens brothers (Christopher is on the left, Peter on the right) span a theological divide: Christopher is an avowed atheist. Peter is a Christian (and Anglican). Christopher has written a book attacking religious belief entitled "God is Not Great."

Each of us probably know folks who would profess to be atheists. How do we, as Christians, respond in a way that provides a faithful witness to God's truth? Peter Hitchens has clearly given this much thought and has made a response that can be read here. If you'd like to join the discussion on this topic, feel free to comment on this post.

Anglicans in America

The Common Cause Partnership is the umbrella under which all the Anglican churches in the United States are forming. The Archbishop of Uganda made it clear that his oversight of American churches is 'an ecclesial refugee ministry'; a temporary provision until the Anglican Churches in the United States are ready to stand on their own as a seperate province. The Common Cause Partnership is the beginning of this province. It includes Anglican Churches in the United States that are currently overseen by Uganda, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, South America, and Southeast Asia. It also will include those diocese currently in the Episcopal Church that are in the process of leaving.

The Partnership has a new website that provides the opportunity for you to give feedback to the leadership, and to learn more about Anglican theology. You can go to the website by clicking here.

The Middle Schoolers Have a New Name

Almost unanimously, we have chosen to become the “Trinity Transformers”! We send many thanks to Stephanie for the suggestion and the biblical references supporting it. Those bible verses were very convincing and when Dawn told us there is a Mr. Potato Head Transformer we could use as a mascot, well that clinched it! (I asked what the Mr. Potato Head Transformer transformed into and was told, “A potato, of course”!) Hopefully we Trinity Transformers will be transformed more and more into the likeness of Christ!Thanks to everyone for their thoughtful suggestions!
