\"\"<\/a>Mosques, Predators, and Preachers!\u00a0 This past week offered some intriguing, challenging, and controversial posts dealing with a broad spectrum of legal, political, and religious issues.\u00a0 Here are\u00a0seven posts you may have missed, but should take a few minutes this weekend to read and digest.<\/p>\n

The Ground Zero Mosque\u00a0is discussed by Michael Debusk in his post, Religious Liberty and the Mosque Near Ground Zero<\/a> and by Bart Barber at\u00a0Praisegod Barebones<\/a>.\u00a0 You can read my take on this controversial issue in I Love NYC, But Hate Idea\u00a0Of Mosque at Ground Zero<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Debbie Kaufman, over <\/span>at<\/span> Ministry of Reconciliation<\/span><\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/span>, has written a\u00a0three post review (Part 1<\/a>, Part 2<\/a>, and Part\u00a03<\/a>)\u00a0of This Little Light, <\/em>the powerful autobiography by Christa Brown\u00a0chronicling her abuse at the hands of a Baptist pastor.\u00a0 The blog posts and the book should be read\u00a0by anyone interested in how we can\u00a0protect our\u00a0churches from sexual predators\u00a0who seek to harm the most\u00a0vulnerable and innocent among us.<\/p>\n

Finally, Jason Smathers’ post, Police\u00a0officer finds Gospel offensive, arrests preacher<\/a>, at Witnesses Unto Me<\/a>,\u00a0illustrates the collision of law and\u00a0Christianity within our culture.\u00a0 Did the police officers violate the preacher’s rights by not allowing him to continue preaching in the park?\u00a0 And, even if his rights were violated, was the preacher’s approach to\u00a0proclaiming the Gospel the most effective<\/span><\/strong>\u00a0way of sharing the life-changing message of Jesus Christ with people that day?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
