“Our once great western Christian civilization is dying. If this matters to followers of Jesus Christ, then we must set aside our denominational differences and work together to strengthen the things that remain and reclaim what has been lost. Evangelicals and Catholics must stand together to re-establish that former Christian culture and moral consensus. We have the numbers and the organization but the question is this: Do we have the will to win this present spiritual battle for Jesus Christ against secularism? Will we prayerfully and cooperatively work toward a new Christian spiritual revival ― or will we choose to hunker down in our churches and denominationalisms and watch everything sink into the spiritual and moral abyss of a New Dark Age?” - Mark Davis Pickup

NATIONAL POST COLUMNIST, ANDREW COYNE, ON ASSISTED SUICIDE

Andrew Coyne
Canada's National Post newspaper columnist Andrew Coyne wrote on 18 April about the perils of assisted suicide. He has a razor sharp analytical mind. He sees the issue beyond the shallow one dimensional view of most of the media. They either parrot the autonomy mantra or draw the false dichotomy of  intractable pain versus suicide. (Modern pain control techniques can control virtually all physical pain.) Andrew Coyne thinks independently. He does not blindly and dutifully fall into line with the messaging of Canada's secular media. He's brilliant and is one of my favourite Canadian columnists.  See http://news.nationalpost.com/full-comment/andrew-coyne-assisted-suicide-makes-us-all-complicit-in-anothers-death
