The Archbishop of Canterbury crosses diocesan boundary without permission to preside at clandestine Eucharist for gays. See also The Times Online for a bit less judgmental article. This will likely fuel the fire considerably in the ongoing arguments about communion in general.
Of course we had this story before they did, but now the mainstream media is picking up the Return To Tradition among religious groups.
Here is a story about Christians Suing Christians in England.

I just read the link about somebody not voting for Huckabee. I have no idea for whom I will vote, so my comment is neither for or against him as a candidate.
But I think if Huckabee is a minister, then he should be allowed to preach in a church while he is campaigning. This is a free country, after all, and we should allow him that religious freedom. Now, if he misuses that freedom by turning his sermon into a campaign speech, then that would be a no-no. But, apparently, he didn’t do that and the only thing the author didn’t like was the military metaphors used in his sermon.
I do not think that having a Christian president will make us have a Christian nation. But if the work of a Christian president were not informed on a daily basis by his religion, then I’d say that religion was a sham.
Personally I like military metaphors. We should use them more. But it does scare outsiders when we talk like we’re an army.
