In no particular order:

• Rhythms of a spiritual life: a profile of Fr. Matthew Kelley, OCSO of the Abbey of Gethsemani
• An examination of budgets as moral documents from Susan Rose at Sollicitudo Rei Socialis
• When the moral compass wavers: a look at how people shift their moral beliefs to better fit the things they feel they must do, a process known as moral disengagement
• A couple of examinations of the role and nature of Scripture from an evangelical/emergent perspective: Scripture as Sacramental Word and Sola Scriptura - Is Scripture Enough?
• "The Wrong End of the Spear", commentary on the current controversy over the casting of a gay actor in the lead role for The End of the Spear -- the writer has some good points about "being missional" in this case, which I think in some ways is analogous to the Catholic concept of "New Evangelism"
