I am not alone when I assert that my favorite blog is Andrew Sullivan's The Daily Dish, currently hosted at The Atlantic and about to move to The Daily Beast in the coming month. I don't think anyone could agree with Sullivan all the time on every topic; even his own staff frequently disagrees with him on a variety of topics. Sullivan airs dissent as well as anyone, and is always up for a discussion, an argument, a thoughtful conversation, or some more typical internet silliness. The reason I bring him up today is to note that on Sundays his blog always addresses concerns of a spiritual nature, and as a faithful Christian I very much appreciate the range of views set forth.
Today, a typical Sunday: links and articles on:
- The distinction between religion and faith
- Slowing down for Lent, and a new take on the age-old spiritual discipline of solitude
- Drinks used in religious rituals
- An argument about cohabitation before marriage
- Continuation of a discussion on visual images of Jesus
- An exploration of how we deal with belief structures using the word "random"
All of which is simply to say that you need not be surprised to find links and references to Sullivan's work (and to articles I first encountered at the Dish), especially on Sundays.
UPDATE: predictably, later in the day there was a better Sunday post on religion than any of the others cited above.
