Apologies to non-yawpy Brits

More Brits Becoming Evangelical

Interesting article. Notes success of a parish that "developed an outreach course for newcomers called Alpha, which explains the basics of Christianity." Meanwhile, Anglican and Episcopalian churches that attempt to explain away things such as the resurrection under "more reasonable" terms dwindle to nothing thanks to great minds like John "Christianity Must Change Or Die" Spong (or Spong John No Pants, as I call him). Apparently, the old "basics" work better.

Two other points. First, the article notes "antiChristian" laws becoming more prevalent. I don't know what those are, but it's funny -- if true -- that at the same time British lawmakers are bending over backwards to accomodate their future slavemasters, the Muslims. Second, it's too bad that the evangelicalism taking hold in Britain is apparently so rabidly anti-homosexual. I know several homosexuals who are wonderful Christians, and others who wish they could "go back" to Church but are afraid. Anyway, that's my take.
