There are diversions in the church, and then there are Christian tabloid diversions to keep us up to date on the diversions. We were asked about a certain occurrence playing out at a men's conference in Springfield, Missouri, hoping we could explain the general messed-uppedness of whatever happened there. This opens up a different conversation about diversions, the entertainment culture, the cool, big famous preacher guys, and the replacement of church with something -we're not exactly sure what it is-.

College protests are sweeping across the country-over 1,400 protesters arrested so far. Youth power and student power gained force in the 1970s, beginning with the Vietnam protests.

Quite a lot can happen in 63 years of popular culture.
