Huffington Post - Religion

Let's hear it for the Huffington Post. It has some of the best coverage of contemporary religious issues, drawing from a variety of sources, with some particularly good columnists. I've pointed to several on my Facebook.

Rev. James Martin, Is Your Mother Holier Than Mother Teresa? particularly caught my attention recently.

I'm curious to know what the impact is of these online religious articles, and whether they are replacing conventional religious press? Sounds like an interesting subject for a thesis...

BBC - Rev

I've enjoyed watching episodes of 'Rev'. I'm still catching up, and haven't seen them sequentially. It's the best religiously oriented comedy I've seen since the excellent 'Little Mosque on the Prairie', and has picked up some positive reviews (including from Rowland Williams). The cast is outstanding, as is the writing (a revelation, dare I say?). International readers should point their local TV stations to Rev. UK viewers can see the full shows on iPlayer - no doubt episodes will emerge on YouTube as well... The link to this blog is that episode six has the central character responding to a poor online review of a sermon.
