The cooperative magic of work
“When people work together,” says Dylan Pahman in this week’s Acton Commentary, “they are able to multiply the fruits of their labors far beyond what they could each do alone.” “Work,” wrote the Reformed theologian Lester DeKoster, “is the form in which we make ourselves useful to others.” I like this definition because it puts things in a realistic, everyday perspective.

Several studies have demonstrated that the cues pastors send from the pulpit affect congregants’ political attitudes. However, we know little about pastors’ own political worldviews, which will shape the content and ideology...

According to a new essay from Arnold Huijgen at Religion & Liberty Transatlantic, when es to religion, the$61 million museum in Brussels, built by the European Parliament, is “an empty House.” Instead, the EU displaces the Divinein its exhibits.
