Here Is The (Christian) News

There has been a small debate running in some of the Christian sites and blogs over the gradual loss of the "religious" section in newspapers and magazines.

For example, from Christianity Today

Religion Sections Deleted

Now, over here (in the UK), this is unlikely to cause much of a fuss. Whatever, the details of any particular column being dropped, the underlying reason will be the secularisation of the culture...here, sadly, we lead America by a distance.

And that's probably a shame.

But might it not be better if, instead of wishing to consign ourselves to a news ghetto - or to only appearing in the mainstream media after the next sex scandal or infighting within one denomination or the other - we were to force our way into the headlines by enlarging our involvement in society.

It's a safe bet that if they had been around two hundred years ago, the blogs, the radio and the TV would have been full of stories about Wilberforce.
