Toronto Star - A faith magazine for the 'un-churchable'
There鈥檚 a regular feature called Sinner鈥檚 Corner, in which readers look for guidance in their ethical struggles, as in: can an environmentalist play golf in good conscience? A recent issue looked at body image and discrimination against fat people; another reported on 30 sermons that would never be heard in church. More recently, a two-page spread focused on 鈥減olice brutality鈥� at the G20 summit.
9I制作厂免费 professor Darin Barney says the magazine is one of the 鈥渟martest kind of progressive, critical, lefty magazines鈥� in Canada, with roots that reach back to the Depression-era social gospel movement of the prairies.
鈥淚t fulfills the critical mission perfectly,鈥� says Barney, the Canada Research Chair in Technology and Citizenship. 鈥淥ften the first target of criticism is itself鈥攏ot as a magazine, but as critical Christian writers, they turn their questioning ethic most vigorously on their own faith and their own practices.鈥�
