Rep. Omar: From Victim to Victor
Late yesterday afternoon the House of Representatives passed a resolution condemning various forms of hate in response to Rep. Ilhan Omar's (D-MD) latest anti-Jewish remarks, which sparked turmoil within the secular Left Democrat Party. The vote was delayed so the "progressives" could expand the list of victims who experience hate in America. Noticeably, one group of people who often experience hate was not included in the legally protected class of victims.

"WE MUST FAST": ANDREWES ON OUR NEED OF LENT
Andrewes's Ash Wednesday sermons are a robust and confident presentation of the retention of the Lenten fast by the reformed ecclesia Anglicana.  As a body of teaching, they expound the Scriptural case both for the discipline of fasting and the particular practice of the Lenten fast.  A recurring theme is Andrewes's concern that rejecting the Lenten fast undermines both fasting and penitence.  He recognises that in the absence of a season given over to penitential fasting, it will too easily be the case that both will be neglected in the Church's life. For contemporary Anglicans seeking to renew the discipline of Lent, the sermons of Andrewes are a rich resource, setting before us the gift and call of the Lenten fast, and our profound need of it.

Finnish Government Collapses Due to Rising Cost of Universal Health Care
The government of Finland collapsed Friday due to the rising cost of universal health care and the prime minister's failure to enact reforms to the system. Prime Minister Juha Sipila and the rest of the cabinet resigned after the governing coalition failed to pass reforms in parliament to the country's regional government and health services, the Wall Street Journal reports. Finland faces an aging population, with around 26 percent of its citizens expected to be over 65 by the year 2030, an increase of 5 percent from today.
