Well, it’s Friday, and my brain is close to shutting down. So what to do with all these fascinating links that crossed my screen this week? I guess I’ll just toss ‘em out with no comment (OK, with a few comments). Enjoy:

• Hey, pastors: Abundant Blessings lists four things your congregation wants you to know. Good insights.
• Will evangelicals help save the Earth? On increased environmental awareness within the evangelical community.
• Are evangelicals losing their teenagers? Seems a bit on the sensationalist end of things to me, but I bet the youth pastors among our readers have more informed thoughts.
• Interesting piece on the spiritual benefits of fasting.
• Here’s something unusual: the Pope is supposedly gearing up to drop the doctrine of Limbo: “Even though it has never been part of the Church’s doctrine formally, the existence of limbo was taught until recently to Catholics around the world.” More thoughts on popular piety and theology at In the Agora.
• Over at Thinklings, Philip talks about what it means to fear God.
