Kentucky for sale ("NEW YORK—Battling for the National Invitation Tournament Crown, three players are caught in ballet poses as Roger Hicks, left, of West Virginia University, shoots from far out in the court as Buck Sydnor, (77), and Don Ray, (96), both of West Kentucky State, reach vainly for the ball. West Virginia won, 47 to 45 in the closing seconds at Madison Square Garden March 25."):

I think Brian D. McLaren gets his bracketing exactly right in The Christian Century: "A church that goes against the grain in a politically and socially conservative area has three main options. It can be a community for liberal refugees, a place for the political or social minority to gather with kindred spirits. Or it can be a bridge-building community, seeking to bring together people who see things differently, helping them understand and perhaps influence each other. Or it can be an activist community, seeking to change the social and political climate of the region in a progressive direction." The pastor at Morgantown Community Church counts his congregation in McLaren's first category.
