These include the New Life Church, the 14,000-member Pentecostal congregation founded and run by Ted Haggard until November 2006, when he was removed following allegations that he had a relationship with a male prostitute and a fondness for methamphetamines. read entire entry

I loved the movie! What are you going to do to get this story out there? But, I do wonder if it is a complete story. Constantine’s machine also worked on a lot of other people, heretics, protestants, pagans and indigenous peoples, natural scientists, philosophers, educators. I hate to say it but vilifying descendants of Judean revolutionaries is but one codicil on that will, one budget line item on that omnibus bill. And, there were a lot of true believers in the Ichthus story who died trying to reform that mess, for generations. I don’t know if the film shows a fair picture of the diversity of Christendom. And, for many of my Jewish friends who live on the Upper West Side, surrounded by other Jews mostly, a ‘Christian’ is a ‘Christian’, is a Catholic or a Fundamentalist… Anyway, I know you can’t take it all on, but where will the next vehicle come from?
