					<description><![CDATA[  About a week ago, an acquaintance of mine on Facebook—himself formerly active in several prominent Charismatic Christian circles—made a post that presented some highly suggestive evidence that a popular Christian minister and “prophet” within the Charismatic community, Shawn Bolz, is, for lack of a better word, a fraud. Now, to many of those in the skeptic [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[  I spend a lot of time talking religion and theology in pretty literate, mostly progressive Christian communities online. Despite a chunk of the typical postings being totally outside my wheelhouse (prayer requests and such), they’re among the few places to discuss the history of Christianity with any regularity. I say mostly progressive because these communities are pretty big, and invariably attract a [&#8230;]]]></description>
