Small Acts for God
Posted by Robyn Lee in Faith on Friday, September 23, 2011
My friend Heather and I are involved in a ministry called Theology on Tap. The basic idea of Theology on Tap is creating a forum where young people of all walks of life could talk about the faith in a casual setting at a bar or restaurant. A typical Theology on Tap consists of a 45 minute talk, 15 minutes q&a and time for fellowship afterward.
This forum opens the door to young people who wouldn’t... READ MORE

When I decided to major in theology in college, one of the reasons I did it was so that when my future children asked the hard questions, I’d be able to answer some of them.

Tom Beaudoin gathered this collection of theology bloopers from undergrads at three colleges.

Never write essays on an empty stomach might be the lesson there.
Though I’d like to think there really was such a thing as “dessert asceticism.”
The Church’s Constant Teaching
Posted by Arwen Mosher in Faith on Thursday, September 25, 2008
You probably caught the recent incident where Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi, a self-professed Catholic, told an interviewer she can’t say for sure when life begins, and also mentioned that the Catholic Church does not have a historically consistent teaching on the topic.
If you missed the incident, you can catch fellow Faith & Family Live! blogger Rebecca Teti’s coverage here and here.
