Clip of John Piper talking about Christian and Muslim relations.  For an explanation of what it is about and links to the documents it refers to read the original post at his blog. 

John Piper has a great article on the role that Black and Latino Christians can play in hurting the abortion industry (and make no mistake about it—abortion is big business!).  He writes,

The end of abortion as a business is in sight when the prolife movement is not only joined by, but led by, the African-American and Latino Christian Community. I call it the Third Wave.

He offers this prayer in conclusion of his article:

Father, arouse and unite your people to be cross-bearers for child-bearers. Imbue our church leaders of every race with moral clarity and courage to name what is the clearest expression of the human indignity in our country: child-killing. Let reconciling grace flow like a river. Let humbling grace make possible Black and Latino approaches to the great work before us. Color our prolife ranks, marches, assemblies, conferences, and staffs with the richness of Black and Latino Christian servants. To them belong the honor of leading us to victory in the abolition of abortion, for the establishment of righteousness in the land and for the glory of your name.

To all of my Church History students that I abandoned to another (well qualified) teacher, check out this post from the Enjoying God blog.  It is a great overview of Church history.  I haven’t spent a lot of time with it, but he has a lot of great stuff on his site.
