Can We Join? Catholic-Anglican Relations

On October 20, 2009 the Vatican issued a document called the Apostolic Constitution. This document allows Anglican churches to recognize the Pope as their leader and enter into full communion with the Roman Catholic Church. This is the biggest step toward unifying these two churches since King Henry VIII split from the Roman Catholic Church in 1534, when Pope Clement VII refused to grant him an annulment from Catherine of Aragon.

Learning “Liberaleese”

Many conservative Christians don’t know what to do with people who are members of mainstream society. What could you say to someone who probably doesn’t believe in absolute truth? Learning to speak the “language” of this part of culture is a step in the right direction.

A New Year

Editor's Corner

As you have (hopefully) noticed by now, the Kerux looks a little different from last month. We have decided to try publishing in a format closer to that of a traditional newspaper. This was not a simple matter of aesthetic preference. Rather, we want the format of the Kerux to reflect the direction of the content.

Graydon’s Crossing at Derby Station: A Review

The editor’s thoughts on a new year of the Kerux

After wrapping up several hours arduous research on the Parable of the Lost Sheep, I leave Heckman Library and head for one of my favorite places on God’s green earth, or at least in Grand Rapids. I weave north through campus and take Lake Drive, following it’s winding northwestern path until I end up at Reed’s Lake. I turn north on Lakeshore Drive and watch kids scattering leaves in the park, men playing soccer, and a young couple pushing their sailboat off the dock. A left on Wealthy brings me into Gaslight Village, a quaint little street lined with stores and cafés with an old “downtown” feel (and with free parking). Finally, a few blocks down at a corner on the right, there it is... Graydon’s Crossing at Derby Station.
