Non-Profit Hospitals Are Making a Killing
The tax incentives for non-profits are working out pretty well for non-profit hospitals. But is it working out for everyone else?

According to the mayor of Oak Harbor and a former Naval commander stationed at Naval Air Station Whidbey, Attorney General Bob Ferguson’s lawsuit against the U.S. Navy over noise from expanding the EA-18G Growler program is a step in the direction of a local fringe group’s goal to get NAS Whidbey shut down.

Leonard Pitts Jr.: It took Congress too long to treat 9/11 first responders like the heroes they are
It never should have come to this. The first responders who, on a September morning 18 years ago, rushed into toxic clouds that once had been the World Trade Center never should have been put through bureaucratic hell. Sick and dying because they answered the call for courage, they never should have been forced to drag themselves repeatedly down to Washington to lobby Congress for medical care and compensation. Comedian Jon Stewart never should’ve had to use his celebrity to help shame lawmakers into giving them what they deserved. It never should have come to this. But it did. On Tuesday, it finally paid off as the Senate voted, 97 to 2, to finance the September 11th Victim Compensation Fund for the next 70 years.

Was Paul unclear in his teaching on sexuality?
I have been engaging on and off in the debates about sexuality and Christian discipleship since around 1978, when Buzz magazine (which eventually morphed into Christianity magazine) produced a slightly risky exploration of the issues at stake. Since then, I have noticed that the discussion has shifted ground, both in wider society and within the church. In wider society, it is quite surprising that we have ended up with same-sex marriage, since that had not really been the main demand in the recognition of gay rights, but it has afforded gay relationships with a respectability and status that was desired. Within the church in the UK, much of the debate has been whether the writers of the New Testament either encountered the kinds of relationships that we know, whether they understood the psychology of sexuality in the way we now do—and whether their negative assessment of same-sex sexual relationships in the very few references that we have is correct.
