Recent research indicates that the number of people who do not consider
themselves a part of an organized religion is steadily on the rise.Interestingly
enough, though the number of those religiously unaffiliated is increasing,
there is little to no trend in the number of those who
express atheist or agnostic beliefs. People arent saying they dont believe
in God. Theyre saying they dont believe in religion. They are not
rejecting Christ. They are rejecting the church.This begs the question,
Why are we losing our religion?Some may be losing their religion, but
I challenge the notion that faith in general is waning.I believe, instead,
the trend of people who dont identify as part of an organized
religion speaks to an increasing wariness of labels in our culture. Those
labels carry baggage for many who might have been hurt by the
Church or let down by religion.You see, religion alone can only take
a person so far. Religion can make us nice, but only Christ
can make us new. Religion focuses on outward behavior. Relationship is an
inward transformation. Religion focuses on what I do, while relationship
centers on what Jesus did. Religion is about me. Relationship is about
Jesus.In order to become a new person, we need Christ. Only through
an active ongoing relationship with Jesus can we become transformed and
overcome the labels that bind us.In fact, Ive struggled with what people
think of my label: pastor. For many, this label carries emoti
spending cuts have widespread public
support and will ultimately change the terms of the fiscal debate in
Washington."My budget will reduce our deficits not with aimless, reckless
spending cuts that hurt students and seniors and middle-class families --
but through the balanced approach that the American people prefer, and the
investments that a growing economy demands," he said.Still, Obama has been
unable to move House Republicans from their opposition to higher taxes.
And his proposed reduction in the growth of benefits drew swift objections
from allies."The president should drop these misguided cuts in benefits
and focus instead on building support in Congress for investing in jobs,"
AFL-CIO President Richard Trumka said in a statement Friday.Kansas Gov.
Sam Brownback delivered the Republican radio address, arguing that "the
ideas on how to fix the federal government are now percolating in
the states.""You see, you don't change America by changing Washington --
you change America by changing the states," he said. "And that's exactly
what Republican governors are doing across the country -- taking a different
approach to grow their states' economies and fix their governments with
ideas that work.Brownback, a former House member and U.S. senator, called
for a "taxing structure that encourages growth, an education system that
produces measurable results, and a renewed focus on the incredible dignity
of each and every person, no matter

<p style="font-size:xx-small;">Shoppers at a Target store in Brooklyn say a label that listed
the color of a plus-size dress as "manatee gray" was insulting.The label
for the same dress in smaller sizes described it as "dark heather
gray."Target apologized for the label.Michelle Ho, shopping at the store
at Atlantic Terminal Mall, told the New York Post that Target was
"putting down one set of people over another" with the different labels.Spokeswoman
Jessica Deede called the labeling of the Mossimo-brand "Women's Plus-Size
Kimono Maxi Dress" ''an unintentional oversight."She said although manatee
gray was a seasonal color, Target was "fixing the discrepancy." She said
the item was removed from the company website.
d suffer in the spotlight. Maybe
the new pope will keep his distance from the society, for fear
of giving an appearance of favoritism. Or, he could use his new
authority to become from their perspective
too involved in the society, like John Paul. And they wonder if
Jesuits would somehow be blamed for any of Francis' decisions that prove
unpopular.Jesuits were already at a crossroads when Francis was elected.
Although the order remains the largest in the church for men, membership
has dropped by more than half since peaking in 1965, Gaunt said.The
decline came mostly in the West. But In South Asia and India,
Christianity, and Catholicism specifically, have been growing, and so too
have the numbers of Jesuits in those areas. Gaunt calls it "the
changing Jesuit geography." India now has the largest national group of
Jesuits with just over 3,900 members, followed by the U.S., with just
under 2,500. About one-third of the world's 17,287 Jesuits came from developing
countries, a figure that is expected to rise in coming years.For U.S.
Jesuits, this has meant a long season of wondering where they go
from here. The order is restructuring in the U.S., merging their 10
smaller provinces into four larger ones.Lay people now staff most Jesuit
schools and ministries, so the order has started Jesuit spirituality retreats
and instruction for lay faculty and staff to help maintain the religious
identity of what they've built. Among the newer J
