- GetReligion.org astutely covers the media as they cover declining birth rates in Europe.
“The average number of births per women to maintain a country’s population level is 2.1. A 2002 report showed that birthrates in southern and Eastern Europe had dropped below 1.3. That means that — all else equal — the country’s population will be halved in 45 years and will never be able to recover.”
More info on birthrate decline around the globe at The Death of Liberalism.
A Texas self-defense case makes headlines in UK newspaper: “A jury in Texas has refused to indict a man who shot dead two men he suspected of burgling a neighbour’s* house.” ( * = UK spelling) :-)
Anglican Traditionalists reject pro-homosexual theology but seeks to remain in fellowship with greater Anglican Communion.
BONUS:
- The good folks at Lifeway Research lend thoughtful analysis to Pew’s recent report on American religion and provide their own data to boot.
