Abstract:
In this article the author is discussing how others view John Mace, youth pastor, teachings about inclusivity and progressivism in Christianity. The comments about John range from agreeing, disagreeing, and agreeing with some of what he says. One commenter states that the church does not need someone like John because he says he does not fully believe in the bible and is only doing this to gain popularity with the younger generations. Another commenter states that they love John’s view and teachings but does not like how it is trying to separate between right and left politics and thinks it should include everyone. The views on John’s teachings about the bible very from each end of the spectrum but many fall in the middle.

Abstract:
Warren Nord, lecturer in philosophy, contends that public schools and universities today come close to indoctrinating students against religion by almost completely ignoring it. He argues that neutrality doesn’t just mean that it’s okay to teach students about religion, but that you’re required to teach them about it if you teach them things that are hostile to religion.

Abstract:
Through Reverend Lisa Saunders’ work, lately being reflected in a memoir, she has learned a valuable lesson about life. It's one that applies just as aptly to the beginning or end of life. The immaterial reward of a life well lived—a good legacy left behind—is more important than material rewards.

Abstract:
Women have been included in anthropological studies of serpent-handling, but no past research has focused specifically and solely on the experiences of the women who practice this tradition, nor has it been collected by a female researcher. Interviews with the women demonstrate that experiences, actual roles in church life, and accounts will vary from person to person, from church to church, and from state to state.
