I’ve posted my last email to Hanna Rosin over at Slate. It has been a wonderful exchange and I look forward to her final response later today. Here is part of what I had to say. To read it all, go here. “…We who call ourselves Jesus’ followers need to remember once more that our…

Is it possible that I missed the apocalypse? Seriously? Did it come and go? Was it nice? I ask because of this: Gorbachev is the new face of Louis Vuitton, luxury bag/clothes/etc. maker. My friend Rod Dreher calls it the “overwhelming triumph of capitalism”. Maybe he is right. Though maybe it is something more ominous.…
