Free Market Environmentalism for Religious Leaders
Our friends at the Foundation for Research on Economics & the Environment (FREE) in Bozeman, Mont., have put together another strong slate of summer programs for clergy, seminary professors and other religious leaders with the aim of deepening their understanding of environmental policy. In its description of the program, FREE notes that many in munities “see an inherent conflict between a market economy and environmental stewardship.” Major religious groups assert that pollution, deforestation, endangered species, and climate change demonstrate a...
It’s Okay as Long as the Kids Wear Helmets
I haven’t been able to work out all the specifics (perhaps some of my colleagues would be better suited for that), but somehow I feel like this video of the Casteller festival in Spain is a metaphor for the Eurozone. Thoughts? ...
The Most Godless Place on Earth
While Christianity still holds a fair amount of sway in western parts of Germany, in the eastern areas two thirds of the population—young and old—are declared atheists: Bad news for all those who’d hoped Christianity might make eback now that the Cold War-era German Democratic Republic (DDR) is ing an ever more distant memory. Atheism, according to a new study, is very much alive and well in the eastern part of Germany. The statistics are most striking among those under...
Commentary: So who is our Keeper, Mr. President?
In a recent speech, President Obama invoked Scripture to justify his ambitious spending plans. In this week’s Acton Commentary (published May 25), Acton Research Director Samuel Gregg notes that the president said nothing about the role of munities and associations in helping our brothers and sisters in need. What’s more, “our leader hasn’t noticed that even some European governments, many of whom have been handing out as much pork as possible to politically-connected, politically-correct crony-capitalists over the past 15 years,...

The Regnery Publishing news release for Rev. Robert Sirico’s new book, Defending the Free Market: The Moral Case for a Free Economy is online. The book’s publication date is set at May 22nd and is available to order at Amazon. ...
Os Guinness on Virtue in a Free Republic
Right now I am reading an advanced copy of Os Guinness’s A Free People’s Suicide: Sustainable Freedom and the American Future. The book will be released by IVP on August 6. It’s an essential read and I pledge to publish a future review for our PowerBlog readers. Guinness was interviewed in Religion & Liberty in 1998. In my recent talks around town I have been asking questions about our capacity and desire for self-government as munity and nation. I recently...
When it Comes to Taking a Job, Generation “I” is Unwilling to Settle
Kids these days. Am I right or am I right? For many adults (i.e., parents) that is all that needs to be said to generate sympathetic nods. But for those without an older teen or younger twentysomething living at home, I should probably elaborate: When es to work, kids these days have expectations that are . . . unrealistic. Consider some findings from a recent surveyof 22-26 year-old recent graduates with a four-year degree who are entering today’s workforce. Dubbed...
Earthly Vocation and Eternal Salvation
One of the issues that arose during last week’s law and religion symposium (in the questions following Wim Decock’s thorough and engaging paper on Leonardus Lessius’ engagement mercial affairs from the perspective of moral theology and philosophy) had to do with the understanding of the relationship between material pursuits and eternal salvation. In some way you might say that Lessius held to a view mercial activity as a worthy expression of the stewardship responsibilities of human beings. At the time...
C.S. Lewis’s Lesson on Enterprise
“We make men without chests and expect of them virtue and enterprise,” wrote C.S. Lewis in The Abolition of Man. “We laugh at honour and are shocked to find traitors in our midst.” Even if you’ve read that passage many times (like me) you might have glossed over (as I did) the word “enterprise.” Jacqueline Otto explains why it is significant: Is it possible then, as Lewis asserts, that by making men without chests, we make men that are not...
