The Slippery Path

A new “teaching document” issued by the Roman Catholic bishops of England, Wales and Scotland warns that Catholics should not take the Bible literally — that it’s not infallible. “We should not expect to find in Scripture full scientific accuracy or complete historical precision,” they say in the booklet, “The Gift of Scripture”.

So what sorts of things aren’t accurate?

Creation, for one. Genesis, they note, has two different, and sometimes conflicting, creation stories and cannot be considered “historical.” Rather, the bishops say, it simply contains “historical traces.” (London Times)

Whimsy at Church

Narnia Cometh!

This Christmas begins the Chronicles of Narnia – “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe”. Now, like the “Lord of the Rings”, the books had a big impact on me when I was a kid and so I await with mucho anticipationo for the release of this movie.

There is a lot of interest from the Childrens Ministry / Christian world using this as an outreach tool (much like The Passion of the Christ) and teaching tool which it a GREAT idea.

I am looking to do a series on it next year sometime, when the DVD is released probably and teach kids the major themes of Christianity found in the books.

Here are some online resources you will want to check out about the movie etc.
