Quite a few noteworthy items have come across my computer monitor lately. I don’t normally like to bundle so many different links into one post, but in the interest of getting them out there for you to see, I’ll post ‘em all here. For your perusal, then:

• a USA Today piece on Chinese Christians and the religious restrictions under which they live. (Via Thunderstruck.)


• Mark Shivers tells us what he learned about preaching from pro wrestling.


• the Dawn Treader blogs about how Christians should engage panhandlers.


• Roberto Rivera shares some thoughts about clinical depression and mood disorders over at Boundless.org. (Check out more of Roberto’s writing over at The Culture Beat, while you’re at it.)


• First Things (“the Journal of Religion, Culture, and Public Life”) has a blog of sorts at their site. Looks quite interesting, which isn’t too surprising given the high quality of the journal itself.


• Prince Caspian (aka “Narnia 2”) is apparently going to happen. (Via Looking Closer.)
