In John Knox: Stalwart Courage, Douglas Wilson staunchly defends this staunch reformer, not only lauding his stalwart courage, but also upholding his much-neglected gentler virtues - love, mercy, tenderness, and humility. At Knox’s funeral, one of his friends said, “Here lies one who neither flattered nor feared any flesh.” John Knox sought the approval of neither commoner nor queen, but only his God. John Knox was a reformer of church and culture worthy of honor and emulation, and his story should be one we know well.

St. Ignatius, first-century Bishop of Antioch, called the “God-bearer”, is one of the earliest witnesses to the truth of Christ and the nature of the Christian life. Tradition tells us that as a small child, Ignatius was singled out by Jesus himself as an example of the childlike faith all Christians must possess.

Depuis le début de sa papauté en 2013, le pape François se fait remarquer et admirer par ses prises de position étonnamment progressistes par rapport à la justice sociale et l’environnement. Et il dénonce haut et fort le cléricalisme qui existe dans l’Église catholique et a posé de nombreux gestes pour montrer qu’il cherche, comme pape, à s’en éloigner: il a choisi de vivre dans la résidence modeste Santa Marta au lieu des appartements pontificaux traditionnels; il a choisi une voiture usagée pour ses déplacements au lieu d’une limousine.

Als Pastor nicht zu heilig daherzukommen, das ist beiden wichtig. Deshalb tragen Pastor Max und Pastor Chris im Gottesdienst keinen Talar, sondern Jeansjacke oder Flanellhemd. Nur am Kollar, dem Priesterkragen, sind sie während des Gottesdienstes zu erkennen.

Fanny relates the experiences of a 19th century missionary as she and her young husband proselytize throughout Europe in search of converts to the new Mormon faith.

The symptoms were not pleasant, and with no health insurance, she had tried to deal with them on her own. But, it finally reached a point where she believed she needed to see a doctor.

These stories were written when my husband, Terry, and I lived in South Dakota between 1999-2005. They are about the people in the town where we lived who were strongly connected to their Danish ancestry and imbued with Christian ideals. Viborg is a small town in the South Dakota prairie. Our time spent there gave us new understanding into what is meant by grass roots and middle American ideals from people who are the salt of the earth.
