Prosperity gospel

Prosperity gospel

Our newspaper recently had an article about a scandal affecting the world’s largest Christian television network, Trinity Broadcasting Network (TBN).

Easter Cookies

Margaret Orleans responded to a recent post here by pointing to a cookie recipe “in the style of the revised missal translation” that, apparently, has been spreading around some blogs.
