		<description><![CDATA[Today's Boston Globe prints a really thoughtful piece by Charles Marsh on American evangelical Protestantism's disunity with virtually the rest of Christianity.From Pentecostals in Brazil to the Christian Councils of Ghana, from the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate of Antioch and All the East to the Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, from Pope John Paul II to the The Waldensian Reformed Church of Italy and the Christian Conference of Asia, the voices of our brothers and sisters in the global ecumenical church spoke in unison.Why did American evangelicals not pause for a moment in the rush to war to consider the near-unanimous disapproval of the global Christian community?  The worldwide Christian opposition seems to me the most neglected story related to the religious debate about Iraq: Despite approval for the president's decision to go to war by 87 percent of white evangelicals in April 2003, according to a Pew Charitable Trusts poll, almost every Christian leader in the world (and almost every nonevangelical leader in the United States) voiced opposition to the war.Why?Conservative evangelical elites, in exchange for political access and power, have ransacked the faith and trivialized its convictions.

		<description><![CDATA[If you're a regular reader in the academic blogosphere, you may have noticed that there are a fair number of blogs out there, either written by economists (and which present economic research) or that simply present the results of economic research that the general public might find accessible and interesting.Henry Farrell has done those of us who study politics a favor by trying to get us to do some of the same.

		<description><![CDATA[Slate puts it nicely:With its ridiculous premise, creepy intimacy, and hollow candidate, the Romney video ought to be unbearable to watch....  It's as if Jerry Mathers discovered a lost episode of Leave It to Beaver in which Ward Cleaver asks June, Wally, and the Beave whether he should challenge Vice President Nixon for the Republican nomination.Individually, the Romney boys are as dull and wrinkle-free as their father.

		<description><![CDATA[April 9, 2007Black Colleges Fail to Welcome Gay Students and GroupsGay students often feel unwelcome at historically black colleges,where homophobia may prevent classmates and administrators alike fromacknowledging the presence of lesbians and gay men, reports theAssociated Press.The wire service says black colleges have a disproportionately smallnumber of gay-student organizations, in some cases because the groupscan't find faculty members willing to serve as advisers.  HamptonUniversity has twice refused to permit a gay-student group to formbecause of a moratorium on the number of student organizations.A representative of the Human Rights Campaign, an advocacy group, toldthe AP that some historically black colleges were hostile to the ideaof allowing groups of gay students to meet, while others denied havingany gay students.But the head of the Coalition of African-American Pastors in Memphis,Tenn., said black-college administrators "don't have to give a lot ofreasons" for banning gay-student groups, because acceptance ofhomosexuality would be "a threat to the black family."
