things that should disturb you

Having spent some good time now being positive, we now return you to things that should disturb you:

• Daniel K Eng discusses a disturbing point, the shortage of American-born Chinese pastors. There are some important discussions about church and culture here.
• Halden at Inhabitatio Dei notes that Evanglicals Care More About Cussing than the Treatment of Women.
• Also, he and others have seen the disturbing American Patriot’s Bible which glorifies war and military. I wonder if they just delete the Prophets and Jesus?
• Oh, what's the big deal you say? Should we not get too worked up about the power of military imagery. Perhaps you've not read the whole story about the abortion killer. Turns out he was an active member of the army of God. Well thank God somebody makes a Bible for him, now, too.
  
• Finally, on a more abstract note, hehe, perhaps we can interpret scripture by taking historical responsibility for our interpretation, despite Foucault's insistence otherwise. Complete with Rowan Williams quote :)
