- The Dallas Morning News has a great feature in its religion blog that it runs about once a month. Basically, they pose a question to about 15 or so religious leaders (mostly in Texas) and post their responses. It’s an interesting way to see how each Christian denomination or another faith will approach an issue. Some past topics include Rick Perry’s Day of Prayer, sanctioning the death of bin Laden, if a religious school should reject the child of gay parents, God’s will and the presidency, and Are Texas immoral for supporting the death penalty. Since I’ve been studying church history and denominational differences over the past three years, I thought the latest topic was interesting to read: How do you interpret the Genesis creation story? I think I found Larry Bethune and William Lawrence’s answer the most interesting.
