Jottings on science, religion, technology, pop culture, photography and faith from the Aotearoa New Zealand

In recent times I’ve seen the Christianity Today article Young, Restless, Reformed concerning the return by some to a more Calvinistic type of evangelicalism. For example, theobloby: Calvinism and Youth Ministry and Generous Orthodoxy ThinkTank: Young, Pastors, Male.

Because of the Generous Orthodoxy posting the pointed out that in the print edition there are more photos (which seem pretty much white and male) I went to have a look for myself. However, it was the following article in that issue of CT that I found more interesting.

In For Shame? Amy Laura Hall has a thought-provoking article on attitudes to single mothers in society and the church. Have a read. What attitudes do we have towards single parents, and solo mothers in particular? And do we use shame as a blunt instrument, when we should be thinking more of grace?
