Sunday Randomness

• So yesterday I got curious to see what happens at House for All Sinners and Saints when Nadia Bolz-Weber is away. Checked out their media page and listened to two sermons by James Wall and Moose Flores. Didn’t realize that HfASS is sometimes pronounced “half-ass.” Although their congregation is small, they’re moving to two services.

• Discovered the Twitter feed of “Augustine of Hiphop.”  (Click below to link.)

• More or less avoiding the whole Phil Robertson thing here, but thought this post was worth linking to, describing how Phil could have phrased things a little differently. 

• In the trend toward multi-site churches, this church’s webpage makes them sound like reluctant converts:
  

  All services are identical in format and content with the teaching portion of the service being shared across all locations via video. Honestly, the whole thing seems a little jumbo-tron-techno-dork to us, but it sure beats building a kajillion dollar facility to hold everyone. All of this just helps us to be more effective in reaching more people, in more places with the good news of God’s love.

• Billy Graham speaks about the real meaning of Christmas — 61 years ago!

• Finally, a study linking growing up with a father to atheism. Could it be that some believe “there is no God” because there was no dad?
