In the News

  • (CNSNews.com) - The Girl Scouts of Colorado are allowing a 7-year-old boy to join a local troop because he is “living life as a girl.”

  • Reid Smith seeks to enlighten us on the question of Sharia law. But curiously he omits one of the central tenets of Sharia law - that the word of a woman is half that of a man.

  • The Commission on Assisted Dying is to publish its recommendations on whether changes to UK law are needed in the next few weeks.

  • The inevitable resignation of the Canon Chancellor of St Paul’s, Giles Fraser, via the predictable medium of Twitter, is a sad day for one of our great national churches. But the departure of this able man, and now the planned reopening of the cathedral, should at least bring to an end the hand-wringing and posturing of the past two weeks. My paramount concern throughout has been that the reputation of Christianity is being damaged by the episode, and, more widely, that the possibility of fruitful and peaceful protest has been brought into disrepute.

  • Independent Lothians MSP Margo MacDonald has taken the first step towards a new version of her Bill on assisted suicide.

  • I spoke at a town-hall event about end-of-life care recently that, unfortunately, devolved mostly into an intense debate on assisted suicide. When the time came for audience questions, a self-described “mentally ill” woman took the microphone and strongly declared that she too should have the right to doctor-prescribed death. More than half the audience applauded, validating the woman’s potential suicide.

  • There are concerns that the freedom of Christians will be compromised in the new Tunisia after the runaway success of Islamists in the country’s first free elections.

  • The UK Charity Commission has completely exonerated Barnabas Fund after receiving a complaint about one of the charity's Operation Nehemiah booklets.
  • When New Jersey passed the strictest anti-bullying law in the country, no one thought to protect teachers. But given how the Left is beating up on Viki Knox, maybe they should have. After making some private comments about homosexuality on her Facebook page, the special education teacher, who's been with Union Township for more than 12 years, found herself the target of a district investigation. Why all the fuss? Well, Knox objected to the school's celebration of LGBT "History" month. She posted a picture of the school's display case on her personal Facebook page and wrote that "homosexuality is a perverted spirit that has existed from the beginning of creation... Why parade your unnatural immoral behaviors before the rest of us?" Even though she posted the comments at home, after hours, and on her personal profile, officials insist she acted inappropriately.

  • KHARTOUM, SUDAN (Worthy News)– Sudanese leader Omer Hassan Al-Bashir is rewriting his country's constitution in order to implement shar'ia (Islamic) law.
