"Now We Know Her"

by

"My dear girl, the day you see I’m getting old, I ask you to please be patient. If when we talk, I repeat the same thing a thousand times, don’t interrupt to say: 'You said the same thing a minute ago'… Just listen, please. Try to remember the times when you were little and I would read the same story night after night until you would fall asleep." The aged mother has … [Read more...]

Sailing to Utopia

by

“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at, for it leaves out the one country at which Humanity is always landing.” – Oscar Wilde [i] Oscar Wilde wrote that a map that didn’t include utopia was not worth glancing at. Why do we dream of utopia and strive towards it? The dream of a world of peace and harmony has inspired many throughout … [Read more...]

Is #Gosnell #INHUMAN?

by

Happening now is the #INHUMAN TweetFest, from 8am-8pm in whatever timezone you happen to inhabit. The goal of this event is to raise awareness about late-term abortion. A legitimate question was raised on the event page by Sandra: "Is this supposed to be 'Inhumane'? It just seems a little strange to call another person inhuman when he is indeed human. It is his behavior that … [Read more...]

The Strange Story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell and the National Press (Part 3)

by

The press (news media) is very good at covering big stories. News managers decide what stories are big enough to warrant extended coverage with multiple reporters bringing a wide variety of angles to the stories. Notice the words - "news managers decide." That's a key to understanding why the national press has decided not to cover the Gosnell trial as a BIG story. … [Read more...]

Desperate Human Beings: The Walking Dead and Ethics

The Strange Story of Dr. Kermit Gosnell and the National Press (Part 2)

by

While the murder trial of abortion provider Dr. Kermit Gosnell is receiving a little more national media attention than when the trial began, the press is still missing the point of the story. Abortion is not an issue of the cleanliness of the clinic or the safety of the women undergoing the abortion or the qualifications of the people assisting Dr. Gosnell in performing … [Read more...]

The Apologetic Value of a Theology of Work

by

Continuing my studies in the thought of Dorothy Sayers, she never ceases to amaze me at her very common-sense approach to defending the faith. Though described as a reluctant prophet by her biographer, she was fearless in what she had to say about the state of the Church during her life. Her thinking on what it takes to have a Christian society involves not only an outspoken … [Read more...]

The Gosnell Trial and Destroying the Image of God

by

Kirsten Powers’ recent article on the trial of abortion “doctor” Kermit Gosnell, which ran in the April 11th edition of USA Today, is something not to be missed. Powers rightly calls out the odd suppression and, in some cases, revisionism being practiced by the media where the current Pennsylvania abortion trial is concerned. Her concerns are echoed by others such as Jon Healey … [Read more...]

Good

by

“Am I a good person?” This is the great question facing all of us. We want to be good. We feel that if we do good deeds our lives will have meaning. We want to add up all of our good deeds and measure these against the sum of our bad deeds and hope that the scale comes out in favor of finding our lives good or justified. This is not solely a religious phenomenon. Secularists … [Read more...]

Unity Statement

In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, in all things charity. The Christian Apologetics Alliance (CAA) is united in our Statement of Faith. The CAA does not, as an organization, have positions on many of the doctrinal or theological debates that take place within the church. Our primary concern is to promote the gracious, rational defense of the central claims of Christianity and the critique of opposing systems of thought. The CAA joyfully welcomes Catholic, Eastern Orthodox, and diverse Protestant believers, and we are committed to treating all these traditions with respect in our community.
