    If it’s true that for a stone to avoid gathering annoying moss it needs to keep moving, then evangelical Christianity in America today may best be analogized as a boulder entangled in and about to suffocate from the fungus of legislative anti-Church doctrine bigotry. (Note: I define “evangelical” here as those who look to the traditional Bible as the supreme norm of truth for Christian belief and practice; hold a supernatural worldview that is centered in a transcendent, personal God who interacts with creation; focuses on the forgiving and transforming grace of God through the historic Jesus Christ in the...

    If it’s true that for a stone to avoid gathering annoying moss it needs to keep moving, then evangelical Christianity in America today may best be analogized as a boulder entangled in and about to suffocate from the fungus of legislative anti-Church doctrine bigotry.

    SACRAMENTO — With no votes to spare, the Assembly passed a bill Monday to make it illegal for landlords and employers to discriminate against people who have changed their gender or whose gender is not exclusively male or female. AB 196 by Assemblyman Mark Leno (D-San Francisco) passed after a lengthy debate in which Democrats argued that the bill was about basic civil rights, and Republicans attacked it as a "job-killer" that would drive California employers out of state. If the bill passes the Senate as expected and is signed by the governor, it will make California the fourth state...
