US biotech firm Moderna on Monday announced its experimental vaccine against Covid-19 was almost 95% effective, a result hailed by the country’s top infectious disease scientist as “stunningly impressive.” Moderna plans to submit applications for emergency approval around the world within weeks, and says it expects to have approximately 20 million doses ready to ship in the US by the end of the year. Crucially, Moderna also announced that its vaccine can remain stable at standard refrigerator temperatures of 2 degrees Celsius to 8 degrees Celsius (36 degrees Fahrenheit to 46 degrees Fahrenheit) for 30 days.

A plurality of voters say President Trump should concede the presidential race to President-elect Joe Biden, according to a new Politico/Morning Consult poll released Tuesday. Forty-six percent of registered voters surveyed said Trump should concede “right away,” while another 32 percent said he should concede if he is “unable to back up his claims of widespread fraud.” Just 12 percent said the president should not concede “no matter what,” and 9 percent didn't know or had no opinion.

Media/News Company: "A journal of orthodox theology in the Anglican tradition"
It has become commonplace among many North American Anglicans to classify themselves as for or against the language of “Three Streams, One River.” Not long ago in this very journal we read, from Dr. Gillis Harp, a very good critique of the increasingly popular notion that within the Anglican renewal three valid “streams” of Christian practice (catholic, evangelical, and charismatic) are able to flow together in one “river” of unified worship and witness. The metaphor, according to Harp (but in my own less eloquent phrasing): 1) takes a partial description of the 20th-century ecclesial milieu as prescriptive for how we ought to build the Church moving forward, 2) tends to use Scripture out of right context, 3) romanticizes a simplistic view of the Early Church, and 4) follows Robert E. Webber in a bias toward Dix and Aulen and against the English Reformers. I have come largely to agree with such critiques of the Three Streams metaphor, not because I am not a catholic or an evangelical or a charismatic, but because it offers us false choices and a dangerous conclusion.

There was no 4G in the Middle Ages. But nor was there in Ancient Egypt or the Age of Enlightenment. Yet when people reach rhetorically back into history to compare some current complaint with a time of barbarism, they always choose the same period: the years 500–1500 in Europe. Those years were dismissed as a “millennium gap … a poignant lost opportunity for the human species” by the astronomer Carl Sagan. They were, it’s universally assumed, the Dark Ages—a time of superstition, when physicians floundered in the face of a pandemic and leaders scorned scientific expertise. Recent research has, however, exploded almost every myth about the scientific stagnation of the Middle Ages. Historians have shown it to be a period of impressive innovation and ingenuity.
