Have only written one piece so far, but I\u2019m am now pleased to call myself a contributor to the interesting new progressive blog on religion Religion Dispatches<\/a>.\u00a0 <\/p>\n

My first post is on the topic of \"UK Muslims & the \"War on Christmas\"<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

Interesting
\nand ironic news from the British front of the \"War on Christmas.\" In
\nthe UK, some seemingly unlikely champions for the Christmas spirit are
\nentering the lists. Muslims and Hindus are urging people not to throw
\nthe Baby Jesus out with the Yuletide bathwater by needlessly
\ndeemphasizing the holiday\u2019s theological message.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I also opine therein about how ironic it is that the Christmas season should find itself defended by such inveterate Grinches, with their coldly individualistic, dog-eat-dog vision of government and social policy.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
