At the Religion Newswriters Conference on Friday morning, panelists said more and more Christians are hesitant to identify as "Evangelical" or "born again."
Sara Pulliam Bailey, managing editor of Odyssey Networks, said that's partly because young Christians aren't sure if they can be Evangelical and at the same time support issues like same-sex marriage.

If Halloween falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or Monday we will celebrate it with tailgate “trick or treating” in our parking lot following our Sunday Service. “All Hallows Eve” is certainly not a New Thought or Religious Science holiday.

This past week, one of my friends asked me about my take on 1 Corinthians 10:13, “No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it.”  She, like many others, has heard this passage quoted regarding everything from cursing to those dying as a result of liver cancer or complications from AIDS.

On Saturday human rights advocates in Spokane will have a candlelight memorial, marking 11 Years of the U.S war  and occupation in Afghanistan.

The event, "11 years in Afghanistan: Not one more death, not one more dollar" will be from 5 to 6:15 p.m. in front of the River Front Park Carousel.

I do observe Halloween, much in the same fashion many other Americans likely do — with costumes and sweets and merriment.
