Terry Eagleton on the God Debate
Written by Joe Pagano March 8, 2010
Terry Eagleton's book Reason, Faith, and Revolution: Reflections on the God Debate, offers a devasting critique of recent works by Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens (whom he refers to collectively as "Ditchkins"). It is brilliant, provocative, and very, very funny. It is based on his 2008 Terry Lectures delivered at Yale. You can view these lectures on the link below.

Middle Way in Prayer
Written by Joe Pagano November 25, 2009
It was great fun worshipping with the good people from Memorial Church recently in celebration of their 150 years of ministry. In preparing for the service, I did a little research looking into things that had happened during that time. I was struck by the fact that the Book of Common Prayer had been revised three times during Memorial’s history in 1892, 1928, and 1979.
Martin Marty on Anglicans and Rome
Written by Joe Pagano November 9, 2009
Martin Marty is always worth reading. Below are his thoughts on the October 20 announcement by Vatican officials about receiving Anglicans into the Roman Catholic Church.
