The “Axis of Evil Comedy Tour” features a trio of comedians with Middle Eastern roots who use humor to dispel stereotypes about Arabs and Muslims. The new book Religious Literacy, by Stephen Prothero, argues that Americans are “religiously illiterate” and need to be better informed about their faith and the faiths of others. On April 22, LinC looks at ways we can better know and understand our Muslim neighbors while reaffirming our own Christian faith. Key Scriptures: Genesis 21:1-21; Mark 12:28-34; Acts 17:16-34. Famed radio and television personality Don Imus recently lost his job after making sexist and racist remarks about the Rutgers University women's basketball team. Imus insisted that, while what he said was uncalled for, he was a good person who did not intend to hurt anyone. What do our words and actions, especially in unguarded moments, say about our intentions and what's in our hearts? On April 29, LinC will explore how being inwardly transformed by Christ affects our outward actions and behaviors.
