By Joseph Sunde I’ve been a Craigslist fan for years, using it for everything from snagging free goods to securing new jobs to buying baby strollers to selling baby strollers. Yet even as I’ve become somewhat of a Craigslist veteran — constantly swapping this for that and that for this — each experience brings with it a new set of surprises, particularly when it comes to the ways I view trade and exchange. Alas, in today’s giant global economy, it can be... Read more

By Evan Koons There are not a lot of differences between family and manure (or making a vlog post about family and manure, as it turns out). It’s bound to get messy. Watch and see. Originally published at the FLOW blog Read more

By Elise Hilton “Human trafficking is an open wound on the body of contemporary society, a scourge upon the body of Christ. It is a crime against humanity. The very fact of our being here to combine our efforts means that we want our strategies and areas of expertise to be accompanied and reinforced by the mercy of the Gospel, by closeness to the men and women who are victims of this crime.” – Pope Francis, in his address at... Read more

By Joseph Sunde In his review of the Acton Institute’s film series, For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, Andy Crouch noted its artistic merits, observing how well it conveyed “deeply Christian themes in widely accessible ways.” “I can only hope that many of us will indeed watch and learn,” he writes, “and that we will then give ourselves away, as skillfully, promptly, and sincerely as these filmmakers have done, for the life of the world.” Now, in response to the series,... Read more

By Joe Carter In reply to Pope Francis’s recent criticism of free market capitalism, AEI’s Mark Perry provides a provocative response. Not only do free markets do more to reduce world poverty than the Catholic Church, says Perry, one single company—Walmart—had done more for the global poor than the Vatican: I would argue that free market capitalism, American style, has done more to reduce world poverty than any anti-poverty efforts of the Catholic Church and the Vatican. In fact, I would... Read more

This post originally appeared as part of a Patheos symposium on the future evangelicalism. It has been modified for this forum with particular emphasis on the realm of work and economics. By Charlie Self There are three possible futures for American Evangelicalism. These diverse destinies depend upon the moral, social and theological convictions of the communities and leaders of the different streams. They also represent patterns found in three centuries of American Evangelical history. These futures will also determine whether or not particular communities... Read more

By Joseph Sunde In the various discussions surrounding the Acton Institute’s film series, For the Life of the World: Letters to the Exiles, a common response has been to call into question the basic notion of Christians existing in a state of “exile.” The general complaint is that it’s somehow hyperbolic, given the privileged position of the modern West in the scope of human history. From here, things typically descend into detailed historical debates about the realities of America vs. the Middle... Read more

By Dylan Pahman In the land of PB&J, the girl with a peanut butter and M&M sandwich is queen. In the third grade, that girl’s name was Rita. That’s not to say I didn’t have my own competitive edge. Due to what I now consider to be a wholly irrational distaste for jams and jellies at the time, my lunch came packed with a peanut butter and honey sandwich. As have so many children from the dawn of time, every... Read more
