two articles that I've read the last two days that I found thought provoking. First, a British atheist arguing that what Africa most needs is more Christian missionaries. He quibbles with the western academic dogma that "their" culture and "our" culture are two different things that cannot be quantified, compared, or be the basis for value judgments.

the other is the Slate obituary for Richard John Neuhaus, catholic priest who converted from the ELCA several years ago and a well known conservative intellectual. The analysis on Neuhaus' attempts to bridge the evangelical-catholic divide is food for thought.
