Era una tarde soleada del viernes 22 de marzo de 2024.

Estos radicales ataron al pequeño de

An ex-member of a religious sect has lifted the lid on ‘why certain people look Mormon,’ claiming it’s all a result of the community’s incredibly strict rules about marriage.

The worshippers sit in a circle facing each other instead of in rows of pews looking at the priest. There’s a 10-minute silent pause for contemplation.

Las celebraciones de Semana Santa no son, precisamente, una manifestación testimonial de la fe que profesa la sociedad actual “Los tiempos cambian y nosotros cristianos debemos cambiar continuamente.

During basketball season, I attended a Rutgers University men’s basketball game. Perhaps now that Rutgers is a member of the Big 10 conference, bombastic openings are de rigueur.

Para las religiones del mundo, cada ser humano tiene su Dios. Ese Dios se presenta en cada ser como su suprema autoridad de creencias. Figura abstracta que fue creada por el mismo hombre, para controlar a sus semejantes y, supuestamente, liberarlo de las maldades y felonías del mismo hombre, del mismo componente humano. Garantizarle un

Casual political observers may not be aware that Donald Trump has taken on a new strategy — infusing Christianity into his movement and presenting himself as a Christ-like figure. Images of Jesus Christ, hands resting on a beatific Trump, have been common at the former president’s rallies for months. The focus has now gone mainstream.

A pesar de ser un movimiento relativamente joven en la historia de la iglesia, el pentecostalismo fue quizá el catalizador más relevante en el gran siglo de oro de la evangelización global, el siglo XX.

Some Christians say, “If it’s not essential, then it’s not important.” But I want to argue that the non-essential stuff may still be quite important.

Académicos y personeros del mundo político analizaron los resultados del voto “duro” en zonas como el extremo norte y comunas rurales del Biobío y La Araucanía, en todas los cuales existen varios factores en común, entre ellos, una escasa presencia del Estado.
