  • Fundamentals of the faith

    It’s seems we’re all recovering from something.
    Recovering drug addicts, recovering alcoholics — I’m a recovering nice person.
    For about a year or so I’ve been reading a blog for recovering Christian fundamentalists, “Stuff Fundies Like,” at www.stufffundieslike.com.

  • January Bible study preview Aug. 2

    Campbellsville University’s School of Theology and Church Relations Council invites pastors and lay persons to this year’s January Bible Study Preview led by Dr. Jarvis Williams, assistant professor of New Testament and Greek at Campbellsville University, 1-8:30 p.m.   Thursday, Aug. 2, in the Banquet Hall of the Badgett Academic Support Center at 110 University Drive, Campbellsville, Ky.
    Williams will speak on “The Greatest Week in History: Luke’s Account of the Passion Week.”

  • God provides love, not judgment to followers

    In the morning my usual ritual is to walk in Dean Watts Park, take in nature’s beautiful view and soak up the peaceful atmosphere in the still of the day. Among our city’s faithful walkers is Jim Brown, whose ministry he said is picking up trash along the way.
    As he shared his passion with me, I actually pondered on his thoughts most of that day and of course, since everything reminds me of the word of God, I found the heart of God in what Jim is doing in our beautiful community.

  • County truly cares about planet

    June 2 was another demonstration that people in Nelson County and environs do indeed care about protecting creation.

    St Joseph Elementary School in Bardstown provided its spacious parking lot for the 5th Catholic Charities of Louisville electronics recycling day. This effort was endorsed by County Judge Executive Dean Watts,  Catholic Parishes in Nelson County: Basilica of St. Joseph Proto-Cathedral, St. Monica, St. Thomas, St. Catherine of Alexandria, Immaculate Conception, St. Gregory, and St. Michael; and Sisters of Charity of Nazareth.

  • Afghanistan: Where are we going?

    Recent U.S. administration announcements could lead one to conclude that  the war in Afghanistan is ending.

    On the contrary. The plan that President  Obama recently announced just relies upon different military solutions, rather than peaceful alternatives for the Afghan people.

    How so? Under this plan Afghanistan will become a major non-NATO ally, subjecting the people of Afghanistan to yet another military alliance and continuing the last three decades of war and instability.

    When Nelson County was settled in the late 1700s, Catholics and Southern Baptists made the area home. And these religions still do.

    Recent data from the Association of Statisticians of American Religious Bodies shows Southern Baptists increasing at a steady rate, while Catholics have dropped by 20 percent in Nelson County.
