Is Your Middle Schooler Ready?
Radically Different: A Student’s Guide to Community equips middle schoolers and young teens to untangle the twists of life and navigate community. By understanding creation, the fall, and redemption, students can discover their unique identity in Christ. Living through the lenses of good, bad, and new makes us radically human, radically biblical, and radically different.

NOLAN FINLEY: Brooks’ legacy is already at risk
Oakland County Board of Commissioners “a pack of self-serving rats.”
- “The underhanded dealing to determine who will replace Patterson as county executive began as soon as he died on Aug. 3, and should make residents uneasy about how quickly their county could become ordinary or worse, instead of the good government pace-setter it’s been under his leadership.”
- “The priorities of a leader matter. Brooks was committed to doing everything possible to keep Oakland County’s stellar bond rating, which is higher than that of the United States’ and nearly 200 other countries.”

ACTON INSTITUTE: Democrats want to hear your confession
“Recently, my Madison, Wisconsin, parish offered to take up a collection to pay my bail and legal fees. The offer while sincere was premature and tongue in cheek. But a proposed change in state law brings with it a real possibility of putting me in legal jeopardy.
“My congregation’s concern for me stems from the Clergy Mandatory Reporter Act (CMRA) being put forward by Democrat state legislators Sen. Lena Taylor, Rep. Chris Taylor, and Rep. Melissa Sargent.
“As in other states, clergy in Wisconsin are mandated reporters of suspected cases of child abuse or mistreatment. If passed CMRA would, according to one of the bill’s co-sponsors, require “that members of the clergy report any instances of child abuse, including sexual abuse, ending the loophole of unjust cover-ups and misreporting currently occurring in our state.” The “loophole” referred to is the priest-penitent privilege that exempts clergy from reporting abuse revealed solely in confession (“the seal of confession”).“
