A few months ago, after reading Timon Cline’s review, I watched the recent documentary film Calvinist. The film is not a history of the Reformed tradition or even of the “doctrines of grace’ themselves. Rather, it’s a celebration of a distinctly contemporary moment in American Christianity—namely, the “Calvinist turn” in evangelical theology and culture that goes by the moniker Young, Restless, and Reformed (often abbreviated “YRR”). In the film’s optimistic telling, this particular revival of interest in Calvinism will continue to have a lasting and positive impact on the American landscape.

Although air-conditioning was originally used for industrial purposes, during the post war economic boom of the 1950s it surged in popularity and its use expanded to offices, hotels, stores, movie theaters and private homes. One of the most impressive things about the invention of air-conditioning is how quickly it went from a luxury good reserved for only the richest in society, to becoming affordable to the masses.

After 42 years in Riverfront Park, totem pole removed and given to developer
For decades, a colorful totem pole topped with an eagle’s outstretched wings stood 40 feet tall on an island in the center of Riverfront Park. But the landmark’s long residency in the midst of the Spokane River came to an unceremonious end this spring, when it was sawed from its concrete base and sent away, leaving a stump encased in cement where the totem pole used to stand.
