Anti-Queer Legislation in Uganda
I heard on NPR today about THE FELLOWSHIP's political movements in Uganda to illegalize, persecute and even execute homosexuals there.Coincidentally (or not) my friend Adele, at her site www.Queermergent.com, posted some startling information today concerning homosexuality in Africa: Queer In AfricaI don't presume that all my readers are egalitarian on the issue of homosexuality, and as I've said

Christian Meme: Praying for Obama's Death?
I could be wrong, but I'm not aware of any liberals who prayed for or advocated for the assassination of George W. Bush.

A Prayer of Anger
A Prayer of Anger, by John Shea... Actually, I'm not angry at all. I feel fine. But we read this poem tonight in class, and I was deeply moved. It reminds me of a book written by my college theatre professor, Tom Gressler, called Occasions of Sin.Here's the poem...A PRAYER OF ANGERNo hymn of praise today.No hand-clapping alleluiaFor the All-Good GodAnd his marvelous handiwork. Lord A child
