The full post. What I found particularly of interest:

First, "Full, corporate, sacramental communion" from the Anglican weblog The Continuum, reporting a statement by the bishops of the Traditional Anglican Communion that they had "unanimously agreed to the text of a letter to the See of Rome seeking full, corporate, sacramental union."

Second, Family breakdown due to inadequate gospel understanding, an extensive report from the Southern Baptist Texan of a talk by our own Russell Moore.

Moore argued that understanding the identity and purifying work of Jesus Christ is the answer to what ails the family and that social ills are reminders “of the wreckage of Eden.”

Yet, Moore said, the solution is not so much about recovering a series of doctrines or abstractions or “communicating principals more clearly.”

“It’s about recovering a theology. It’s about recovering a big picture that … understands what we mean when we talk about the family,” Moore explained.

And third, Kay S. Hymowitz's The New Girl Order, from FrontPageMag.com. She argues that

Carrie Bradshaw is alive and well and living in Warsaw. Well, not just Warsaw. Conceived and raised in the United States, Carrie may still see New York as a spiritual home. But today you can find her in cities across Europe, Asia, and North America. Seek out the trendy shoe stores in Shanghai, Berlin, Singapore, Seoul, and Dublin, and you’ll see crowds of single young females (SYFs) in their twenties and thirties, who spend their hours working their abs and their careers, sipping cocktails, dancing at clubs, and (yawn) talking about relationships. Sex and the City has gone global; the SYF world is now flat.

. . . The globalization of the SYF reflects a series of stunning demographic and economic shifts that are pointing much of the world—with important exceptions, including Africa and most of the Middle East—toward a New Girl Order. It’s a man’s world, James Brown always reminded us. But if these trends continue, not so much.
