Religion is rarely out of the news. But how much of it is simply "bad faith" for humanity and the planet? Simon Barrow reflects theologically on current events (and cultural blips) from an engaged Christian perspective. FaithInSociety seeks a conversation between reason and hope, shaped by the subversive memory of the Gospel. (c) SB 2003-12.

[11.02 GMT] When living your faith means risking death - an April article from TMCNet (which I missed earlier). This from Miroslav Volf, Director of the Centre for Faith and Culture at Yale University, who recalls meeting Christian eacemakers during the war in Bosnia... "[Yugoslavia] had compulsory service; I was interrogated for months and threatened with years in prison. But the call of the Christian faith, properly understood, is to love one's enemies, to resist evil in such a way that the humanity of the other is redeemed and understanding can be established."
