Dad Rod Likes It!

Monday, May 24th, 2010 by Eric Landry

Rod Rosenbladt, who early in White Horse Inn history was given the moniker “Dad Rod,” sent over this piece from Mark Galli that was featured on the Christianity Today website on April 15.  Mark Galli is the senior managing editor of Christianity Today, and his recent writing gives us goosebumps. We’re only sorry that it took us a month to redirect people to this–another insightful commentary on American Christianity.

Here’s a teaser:

A major motive for being a Christian and participating in its rituals and disciplines is about to collapse. This is going to make a lot of Christians panic, but I believe the recent development will be all to the good.

The development is the discovery that hallucinogenic drugs can give people an experience seemingly identical to powerful religious experiences.

Read the rest of this article and you’ll agree with Dad Rod: this is powerful stuff.

Looking for a Reformation Experience?

Friday, September 18th, 2009 by Eric Landry

Friend of the Inn, Martin Downes, reports:

Over the summer we started a Curry Club for men at our church where we have ended the meal by listening to an episode of The White Horse Inn and having a discussion together about the issues raised. Great food, great listening, and plenty to discuss. I recommend it.

Thanks, Martin. And we recommend more supporter-based experiences like Martin’s Curry Club (and they can include girls, too; that whole cootie thing is WAY overrated).

Reformation, like the pilgrim life, happens best when it is done in community. What community experience can you create to help people discover the rich insights of the Reformation for themselves? Since we haven’t yet decided if or when we want to open up blog comments on this newest venture of ours, please post your ideas on Facebook or Twitter. We’ll begin featuring them on our website as places for people to get plugged-in.
