Purpose of this Blog

This blog intends to comment on world and local events, politics and churches from a Christian World view.

The purpose is to put into the public square viewpoints through which one may interpret current events.

The Reverend Father Richard John Neuhaus, (deceased) wrote a book titled, The Naked Public Square. It is a seminal work for the foundation of this site because Father Richard encouraged engagement and conversation between culture and religion. In fact, he thought that people with specifically Christian viewpoints had fled engagement with culture(s). This lack of conversation between people of Religion and others, he thought, was an impoverishment of both since it was in the nature of both culture and religion to influence each other. Without the seminal influence interactive between culture and religion the progress and insights gained from the past are lost and the hope of the future is diminished.

The author of these notes is The Rev. Dr. Frederick H. Schoenfeld. You can view his profile at http://www.bible-study-for-everyone.com/ (author)
