Have I mentioned or linked to either The Internet Monk or The Boar's Head Tavern before? The latter is the group-blog "hangout" of the former, a.k.a. Michael Spencer, a teacher and chaplain at a small Christian school in Kentucky. A recent blog post of his is Do Chinese Students Need An American Jesus? He says a lot of things that are unpleasant but true about America's brand of Christianity.

Anyway, I wanted to recommend that post in particular, and the two sites in general. The BHT in particular is a little bit addictive. It's like a soap opera, in that once you start to be able to keep track of who's who, and you get a sense of personalities (and which ones usually conflict), it's fun to keep up with the ongoing drama. And it's NOT like a soap opera at all in that it's a bunch of (mostly) guys, usually (but not always) talking about theology.
