Then Colson found himself caught up in the Watergate scandal. He had helped to organize the illegal wiretapping of Democratic headquarters, and in 1973 Colson realized he was in big trouble. After some hesitation, Colson took a friend's counsel and turned to God in his moment of distress. He found something in Christianity that changed his life. Of course, outsiders had a hard time believing that the "hatchet man's" faith was genuine. When news of Colson's conversion to Christianity reached the press, the Boston Globe wrily commented, "If Mr. Colson can repent of his sins, there just has to be hope for everybody."

DR. LAURA C. SCHLESSINGER -- A radio talk show host with more than 20 million listeners daily who “preaches, teaches, and nags” about morals, values, and ethics, best-selling author of seven books, married for 20 years, and mother of one son.
Dr. Laura on the subject of pornography -- "IT WOULD SEEM that much of "higher learning" has gotten real low.
Wesleyan University in Middletown, Conn., has a course that requires students to produce pornography as their final exam. This course, "Pornography: Writing of Prostitutes," examines the history, impact and portrayals of pornography in society. Hope Weissman, a women's studies professor, teaches the course. Speaking of the students' final requirement to produce pornography, she said to The Hartford Courant, "Nothing would be considered too risque."
Among this year's projects were a female student's re-creation of a sadomasochistic beating, and a video showing the eyes of a male student as he masturbated.
It is amazing that this comes from a respected educational institution with a Methodist heritage." |

FRANK PERETTI admits to poking fun at an unusually large cast of ministers for his tiny fictional town. "I don't want to be accused of picking on any one denomination. I want to show that a focus on the external packaging is interdenominational."
Nor does Peretti depict actual churches. For his novel's monstrous Cathedral of Life, Peretti "took the worst aspects of bad churches and made them into one outlandish church." The results are both funny and thought provoking. "The challenge to every religious system is not to come up with an amazing show, nor to give people what they want, but to grapple with the questions" 'Do you have an answer for sin, for evil?'" Peretti claims. "On their way to a mature faith, my characters-like all of us-must learn to distinguish between religious packaging and content, between religion and relationship."
