NPR axes religious programs

OMG, you found us!
Well, it took long enough (nearly a month) for someone to reply, glad it was you

There IS much stench in what is said and done in the name of Christ by some of his followers. Church history is littered with examples. There can also be those who say Lord Lord, and on Judgement Day, the Lord will say to them, depart from me I never knew you. God isn't in to Phoney Baloneys or hypocrites.

I encourage all to pause at some time during this Christmas season to reflect on what was the message of Jesus ( if not sure read the Gospel of Mark or any of the other Gospels of Matthew, Luke, or John). Focus on HIS message and ignore people like me, who are simply a clay vessel and are flawed. Don’t allow our human failings to keep you from knowing the real Prince of Peace this Christmas. Jesus is worth finding out about and having in your life. You see, Christ forgives us our sins in spite of what we truly deserve, IF we repent or turn away from our sins and ask him into our lives as Lord and Savior. It's more than just words. God looks at your heart (your spirit). Our words do not fool God, he again looks at your heart.

Francis of Assisi once said, Preach the Gospel at all times. If necessary, use words.

As for NPR being "opposed to rigidly to any single political or religious point of view", when was the last time you heard a regularly scheduled program hosted by a Conservative? NPR, PBS, and PRI lean Left, despite what they proclaim to the contrary.

Funny. I have a hard time remembering when the last time an NPR/PRI/APM show was hosted by a Liberal (note the capital "L").

For those who say public radio never even mentions religion, I direct your attention to the national APM show "Speaking of Faith", which is ALL ABOUT RELIGION. :

I sense an awful lot of pro-Conservative and/or pro-Religion folks posting the idea that just because public radio doesn't agree with exactly what they think, then it simply must belong to the opposite extreme.

Krista's show doesn't tip it.
She fails to promote a "my christian god can beat your heathen god" message.

Neat play on words and names with the tip it comment. ;D

Well, you are right about what she covers. The name of her program is not "Speaking of Christianity".

Apparently her job description is to conduct an interview program where various "faiths" can be discussed, can be explained, can be examined.

I am impressed with her skill to do just that.

BTW, getting back to the original topic, despite what OneNewsNow would have us believe (pun intended) I see that WBUR is still carrying the long-running Marsh Chapel service every Sunday at 11am.

For those who don't know, WBUR is owned by Boston University, and Marsh Chapel is the campus chapel. They've been broadcasting the Sunday mid-day service for a long, long time. I vaguely remember it had been for around 20 years when I used to engineer it now and then...and that was 12 years ago. The service is non-denominational but nevertheless is Christian, IIRC.

I wouldn't be surprised if WBUR would want to drop the broadcasts...11am on a Sunday is relatively prime time and I've heard the audience totals take a nosedive when the service comes on...but it'd no doubt cause as much political and listener unrest as it might solve.

For that matter, nobody from NPR yells at us in WEOS whenever we broadcast the "Lessons and Carols" service from St. John's Chapel at HWS every December (and that is most definitely Christian). Whether or not the listeners particularly want to hear it is another story, I suppose. : Honestly, I don't know...we don't get any complaints but don't get any compliments, either.
