Not sure what this is, but worth checking out. Apparently an ongoing fellowship program run out of the RAAC center in Indianapolis. Some influential scholars have been through the program.

A list of programs offered by the OS&RL at Oxy, including course development grants, fellowships for undergrads, retreats, research opportunities, etc. Could be some good ideas in there.

A real historical document, twenty-five years old. An extended, thorough profile of Thomas Road Baptist Church through the eyes of the New Yorker in 1981, when Falwell was just beginning to emerge on the scene.

Jim Janotti is a Christian blogger I really like, based in southeastern PA. Here's a copy of a sermon he gave on the prodigal son, focusing more specifically on the prodigal's elder brother. Very provocative, excellent writing, powerful.

Windows Media video of the interview. I have only watched a bit of it. Hedges is a smart guy ... but calling American religious leaders "fascists"? Hoo-ee, he's booted himself out of mainstream discourse with that one.
