- Obliquely related: Is aggression resculpting what it means to be Christian?

- There is a region of Canada, a county really, that is building community by building character in the community. Their website has all kinds of interactive, character-themed initiatives. See Character Community of York and pray it spreads.
- Across the pond, British PM David Cameron has created quite the stir by claiming that England is "a Christian country." The Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby says yes, "In fact Cameron's views are not controversial but historical, the archbishop writes. "It is a historical fact (perhaps unwelcome to some, but true) that our main systems of ethics, the way we do law and justice, the values of society, how we decide what is fair, the protection of the poor, and most of the way we look at society … All have been shaped by and founded on Christianity. A new poll indicates that 56 percent of respondents agreed with Cameron’s statement. At the same time, only 14 percent answered that they practice Christianity..
- Sometimes I think that Sarah Palin and Pat Robertson are in a secret competition to see who can say the most outrageous things. In a speech to members of the National Rifle Association, gathered in Indianapolis this weekend, Palin stated that if she were in charge, "everyone would know that water boarding is how we baptize terrorists." The Gospel Coalition rightly had some problems with that.
- Speaking of outrageous comments, NBA bans Donald Sterling for life, fines him $2.5 million for racial comments.
- Quote of the week: Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said April 10 that “the gospel of peace is reclaimed by loving those who love violence and hatred” and that a church committed to peacemaking “looks like those who join their enemies on their knees.”
- Stephen Brewster's creative ideas.
- Bad Religious is, well, a pretty lousy punk rock band. Good religion is something else.
- Hank Hanngraaff on Osteenification and what it portends. Ouch.
