Too bad the article criticizes VBS, when Jesus said, '..let the little children come unto me...' despite his expert disciples trying to keep them away.Of course, the argument for VBS--that it helps evangelize non-churched families who send their kids as a free entertainment--may be faulty at its base, since the church should be reaching out to children anyway (see Jesus quote above). In urban areas, there are many alternatives at museums, parks, etc that run their own summer camps. In some areas, these programs overlap the VBS, and I have even seen churches run their VBS program at night, to allow the kids who go to those park camps to attend. |

Mark does not understand the true nature of a church, but only picks out 2 things--charitable giving and volunteering--that he thinks a church involves. He may even know that most churchgoers are not giving, nor are they volunteering, but he is practicing 'wishful thinking' here.I have heard that young people are leaving Facebook for other media since the Old People have arrived. I guess they don't want the community where they have to put up with Old People who do not understand their lingo, like LOL means laugh out loud and not lots of love. And their reaction is typical of the Internet. It tends to prevent community bonding because it allows everyone to pursue their own narrow interests. (Reminds you of that Old Testament verse, 'and everyone did what was right in their own sight') Thus, the only community is for those who have those same narrow interests, whether that be collecting blue butterflies or raising pink azaleas. And that can be a world-wide community, which can be good, but it is not helping you get to know your neighbor, much less 'love your neighbor.' |

this story appears regularly, and it has the same '...applies across all faith traditions studied...' which means Muslims in their mosques, Buddhists in their meditation centers, are getting the same benefit, without quoting any Bible verses. And I wonder if it includes the Seventh Day Adventists in Loma Linda, California, who are famed for being healthy and long-lived. Maybe it has to do with not using caffeine, tobacco, pork, etc. |
