New fantasy film 'The Golden Compass' is creating buzz for all the wrong reasons. Insiders claim stylistically the film relies too heavily on CGI effects and Christians warn that author Philip Pullman is a devout athiest who has proudly proclaimed his desire to influence children against Christianity. Athiests are complaining the first film has been watered down too much.
Nicole Kidman's film The Golden Compass panned by religious groups
Daily Telegraph, October 30, 2007
US religious groups have slammed Nicole Kidman's new film The Golden Compass, claiming it promotes atheism among children. The film, which has been marketed as a children's fantasy film, is also based on the first novel in a trilogy called His Dark Materials by English author Philip Pullman, who is an outspoken atheist.
Critics fear that the film will encourage children to read Pullman's anti-Church books, when it premieres in December. Catholic League president and CEO Bill Donohue said these books denigrate Christianity. |

Article by someone vested in Christ
Contrary to what Shirley Strachan, of the Skyhooks, may suggest in his screaming vocals "ego is not a dirty word" this is a great dishonesty. Indeed, the whole concept of ego is dependent upon a person's opinion about themselves and how they stack up against others. This, therefore, is counter-intuitive to building relationships.
This, however, is not the biggest problem with the stigma of ego. It is much more dangerous for a Christian to have an ego. While the general impression from the outside world is that Christians are smug, this is wrong, expect in only a handful of cases.

Sickening news from the Anglican church in that a convicted paedophile may be allowed to remain a priest.
Church may let paedophile stay a priest
The Age, October 31, 2007
The Anglican church will lose all credibility if a convicted paedophile is allowed to remain a priest after he is released from prison next week, a child protection group says. Robert Francis Sharwood, 62, of Brisbane, was jailed for 12 months last November after being found guilty of sexually abusing a 13-year-old boy in Brisbane more than 30 years ago.
The boy played the organ at the same parish when Sharwood seduced him through their shared love of classical music.
During the two-and-a-half years, Sharwood, then 30, molested the boy up to three times a week, including when he picked him up after school, at the rectory, during musical concerts, at their homes and in a car. |

Article by Cameron Spink
Chris Judd is renown as the ultimate football player. He is an explosive midfielder to the point where he can almost single-handedly pull his team over the line. When he finally has a rest on the bench he is gasping for air. As football captains go he is sensational. His example courses through the team as each player tries to exemplify what he shows out on the field.
However, one thing should be noted about Chris Judd. He is very much the reluctant leader. He is quiet spoken and relies more on what he does on the field than what he says. For a football leader this poses no real problems and does not hinder his ability to lead his club.

New statistics show the global Anglican church is growing once again, although in Australia attendances are still declining.
World Anglican Church growing again
The Age, Barney Zwartz, October 22, 2007
THE Anglican Church is now growing again, after a generation of steep decline, according to the worldwide church's top bureaucrat.
Anglican Communion general secretary Kenneth Kearon said the global church now had 85 million members, and though most of the growth was in Africa and Asia, the church in Europe and the United States had "turned the corner".
Numbers were starting to rise, even though the last solid church-going generation was dying. In Australia, Anglican attendances are still declining. |

Bill Muehlenberg gives us tremendous insight as to whether Christians could act and associate with those who would not profess faith in Christ. His article debunks this idea and gives some positive reasons why at times we must form co-belligerency.
On Co-belligerency
Article by Bill Muehlenberg
"Simply defined, co-belligerency is working with someone who you would normally not associate with, or might even be at war with, as the term implies. You may be quite opposed to another person’s beliefs, or creeds, or stances, but you may nonetheless work together with him on a limited, temporary objective.
