The world’s only pink Bottlenose dolphin which was discovered in an inland lake in Louisiana, USA, has become such an attraction that conservationists have warned tourists to leave it alone.
CRESAPTOWN, Md. (AP) – You’ve heard of kosher salt? Now there’s a Christian variety.
Retired barber Joe Godlewski says that when television chefs recommended kosher salt in recipes, he wondered, “What the heck’s the matter with Christian salt?”
By next week, his trademarked Blessed Christians Salt will be available from seasonings manufacturer Ingredients Corporation of America. It’s sea salt that’s been blessed by an Episcopal priest.
The company’s president hopes to market the salt through Christian bookstores.
No word on Christian Pepper or Christian Mrs Dash.
In short, a Minneapolis Methodist church presented a Bible class for a group called the Minnesota Atheists.
As if it’s not unusual enough that Trinity United Methodist Church and the Minnesota Atheists have joined forces to promote a project, wait till you hear what the project is: a Bible study class.
Granted, it’s not your normal one. At least, that’s the hope. Called Secular Bible Study, the program aims to “foster and nurture relationships between folks who would otherwise avoid each other,” said Chester O’Gorman, community outreach director for the northeast Minneapolis church. “Secular Bible Study hopes to attract a variety of people — Buddhists, atheists, agnostics, Christians and even Jews and Muslims.”
The weekly class will focus on the Bible’s historical and cultural context. Organizers have drawn up a set of ground rules designed to keep participants from proselytizing, but that doesn’t mean that they want to discourage disagreement. Just the opposite.
I’m staring to get more and more impressed by the Methodists.
