Here's a few interesting links:

Dave Fitch on why it's harder to plant a missional community than to grow a mega-church.

Joshua Case on three different ways to define what it means to be a "Christian" in the world.

Christianity in the News on discrimination against pagans and druids.

A Victorian era Christian free-love commune in upstate New York (where else). (link via Dan Harlow)

And a truly disturbing Chick Tract.

I am impressed that in the Chick Tract, the frame that shows "evil people" includes not only a classic Halloween witch, a frenzied Muslim and a Chinese Communist but also what looks to be either an archeologist or a cannibal with a pith helmet.

Ugh.

Hmm I can think of half a dozen questions about that Oneida community, but to be honest, they are probably best unsaid.

"I've been a member of the Order of Bards, Ovates and Druids for 13 years," Andy Pecenke said.

And for follow up comment, the principal replied; "Funny, she doesn't look druish!"

You should check out their site:

Semi-interesting read.

Are there any Chick tracts that aren't at least a little disturbing?

True... though most I can read for their comedic value. If you forget the fact that some people actually believe that stuff, they're really quite funny.
