https://medikaplaza.com/plaza/womamajow/ Over the last couple of days Father Orthoduck and I have been discussing short-term missions, theology, and social justice. Let me now return to short-term missions with a quote from the article by Tony Campolo that was cited earlier. In this quote, Tony Campolo provides the link between Glenn Beck’s disdain for government and private […]

Short-term missions, social support, and Tony Campolo

https://olashirt.com/7q173jpl 13 March 2010 · by Fr. Ernesto Leave a Comment

I am a supporter of short-term missions. However, my blog post of the day before yesterday did not make that clear. I have seen at least two people called to long-term missions because they served on a short-term mission team. My problem is not with short-term missions per se. My problem is with under-trained teams […]

Learning about whom we visit in short-term mission

11 March 2010 · by Fr. Ernesto 5 Comments

In January of 2009, I posted a blog on what we can learn from the poor. I talked about Fr. Alejandro Mesco and what he had taught me about sharing the good things that the Lord gives us. Just today, I read an article in Mission Frontiers which is a magazine of the US Center […]

Gossip and justifications

Can I Buy Ambien In Mexico 10 March 2010 · by Fr. Ernesto 4 Comments

From Pithless Thoughts: Do you fast? Let the ears by not listening to evil talk and gossip. For what good is it if we abstain from birds and fishes, but bite and devour our brothers and sisters? (St. John Chrysostom). When my wife and I were married less than five years, we were asked to […]

… but not so little boys (and girls)

A dragon lives forever but not so little boys Painted wings and giant rings make way for other toys. One grey night it happened, Jackie Paper came no more And Puff that mighty dragon, he ceased his fearless roar. As I was listening to this Peter, Paul, and Mary song on Sunday, I found myself […]

Texas Issues Tim Cole, Who Died in Prison, Its First Posthumous Pardon – AOL News. Back in October of 2008, I blogged a series on the increasing failures of our national crime and prison policies. At that time I pointed out that states such as California were already spending 10% of their budget for prison […]

Limitations of science

1 March 2010 · by Fr. Ernesto 3 Comments

On a recent post about science, one of the persons commenting brought up some reasonable points about science. But demonstrating bias highlights other problems in modern American discourse – i.e., the false conclusiveness we give to science, and the false distinction we ascribe to it. Science demands repeatable observation to correct bias, but it can’t […]

Os Guiness on science, faith, and the culture war

Thanks to another blog, I saw the short video above by Os Guiness speaking for the Biologos Foundation. What is the Biologos Foundations? Well, their webpage says: The BioLogos Foundation explores, promotes and celebrates the integration of science and Christian faith. It not only has well known philosophers such as Os Guiness, but also world-class […]
