  • Prayer, Football, and Civil Religion in Texas0

    What's up with prayer and football in Texas and across the South? The big issue during the 1999 season was not the sometimes observed prayer in the end zones by players, but prayer over the intercom before games. In midseason the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear a case that would decide whether such prayers

  • Once Upon a First Amendment0

    Six-year-old Zachary Hood was happy at this chance to be recognized for his good reading performance. He and the other students in the first-grade class at Haines School in Medford, New Jersey, would be allowed to read a story to their classmates.

    Anthony told me about the routine: he was stripped naked, his hands and ankles were lashed together, a pole was threaded between his ankles, and he was hoisted up to hang head down.

  • The Faithful Prey0

    These people were talking about Philip Harmon, a genial salesman from Camano Island, Washington. Unfortunately, their experience was shared by hundreds of other churchgoers. They were all mistaken in their judgment of this "good" man. Harmon was a "crook," who stole more than $30 million from several hundred investors. Many of his victims were in

    Back to Creation From time to time I've come across a copy of your magazine and have enjoyed several of the articles in its pages.
