Restoring a Childlike Hope for Our Earth

Posted on January 13, 2023 by Daniel Potter • Leave a comment

By Rev. Dr. Christian McIvor For many, each New Year is approached with a profound sense of hope and renewal. We make resolutions out of a desire to better ourselves and the world around us. But as we move into 2023, it’s no secret that there’s not much to be hopeful about regarding the state … Continue reading →

Christmas, Animals and the Nativity Scene

By Katherine Smith My dad liked to collect baseball caps; he had a whole wall filled with them, all lined up so he could easily see the names on the front. My uncle collected bottle openers and my mom brought home anything with a picture of John Wayne on it. People collect all kinds of … Continue reading →

Climate Change and the feast day of Saint Francis of Assisi

By Katherine Smith Last week, as I was driving along the country lane to my home, a bald eagle suddenly filled the sky in front of me! I was so startled, that I stopped my car to gaze at the magnificent creature. I had never seen a bald eagle in nature before, only in zoos. … Continue reading →

Climate Justice is Biblical

Posted on April 24, 2022 by Daniel Potter • Leave a comment

By Joshua Stewart Over the past several years, as our world has witnessed far too many instances of people being abused by others, the verse in Scripture that has resonated with me is Genesis 1:27. “So God created humankind in his image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created … Continue reading →

CBF Podcast: Sandra Richter, The Theological Causation of Environmental Devastation

By Andy Hale The Creation Narrative is undoubtedly the story I remember learning first in the church as a wee little lad. The faded colors of felt character cut-outs dance in my memory as I was instructed to know Creation’s order and what specific day. I can still recall the creative imagination I felt as … Continue reading →

Are we all really related to Adam and Eve? A Conversation with Dr. S. Joshua Swamidass

By Andy Hale My parents recently jumped on the wave of Ancestory.com and 23 & Me. From a familial perspective, we know where my dad’s side of the family hails. We are as about as Welsh, English, and Scottish as they come. The mystery in our family is my mother’s genealogical linage since she was adopted. We have … Continue reading →

By Andy Hale  My girls love to read. Even from a young age, both of them would retell the story with their own words, both in toddler incoherence and freestyle. Our cars are full of books. Their playroom and bedroom are full of books. We have stacks of books in our living room, including the … Continue reading →

Trading Swords for Plows…Literally

Posted on February 14, 2011 by scottdickison • Leave a comment

Few biblical images are more ingrained into the popular idiom than the “swords for plowshares” motif. The fact that not one but two Biblical prophets used this metaphor ending with that promise of hope, “neither shall they learn war anymore,” (though I prefer the version immortalized in the spiritual, “Ain’t gonna study war no more…”), … Continue reading →

An Honest Confession from a Young Baptist

Posted on May 12, 2010 by jbriangreer • 2 Comments

This past Sunday, I must confess, I didn’t attend church. I realize this isn’t very shocking for most people today but since my wife is on staff at a local congregation, this time alone on a Sunday morning was quite rare. I passed the time catching up on odd jobs around the house that I … Continue reading →
