Last night I was able to participate as a guest on Hawaii PBS television to discuss the issue of what marriage is and should be with my friend, James Hochberg, Attorney and President of Hawaii Family Advocates. We debated Justice Steven Levinson, Retired State Supreme Court Justice and Renea Stewart, same-sex marriage advocate.

I really thought the host, Dan Boylan, did a very good job of keeping the conversation lively and balanced.

Last week I got an invitation to participate in a campus-wide forum on the nature of gender at a university up in Denver. I very much like going to these because it’s good to go be with people who see the world differently than you do, and try to really listen to what they have to say.

This particular forum was quite interesting – as such things typically are. I wrote about the experience of the day over at Boundless.

I’ve been doing a series called “Fact Checker” for the good folks at The Gospel Coalition. The series seeks to correct myths that are believed and get repeated in church circles.

I have a new one on a supposed Lewis quote and a Chesterton line.

Also, they have all the previous Fact Checkers listed here.

Two unbelievable pieces from MSNBC on how to use children as chess pieces in the politics of low-ball cable television discourse.

A new low when you thought we bottomed-out some time ago.

The Supreme Court last week, in their hearing oral arguments on the California Prop 8 case, asked some surprisingly tough and searching questions on whether it is wise to de-gender the family. Not sure if I know of one mainline media journalist or commentator – who is not a partisan – who has even considered that their might good reason to question redefining marriage and the family in such a way, much less asked them.

I wrote a summary of these important questions from the hearings last week and the First Things blog posted it, with a remarkably 2600 (and counting) shares on FB.

Anyway, here it is.
