What Does the Fawkes Say? History and Public Festivity   

by Scott Culpepper
…on of Guy Fawkes is a great example of how iconic historical figures can become completely separated from their real-life inspiration. The real Guy Fawkes was acting to secure religious freedom for English Catholics, but only so that they could then ban Protestantism. His methods, which would have caused many deaths, are certainly questionable. This sobering reality is important, especially in our troubled times, when religious radicals are all to…

…his young man and others, the “beautiful game” (as soccer is often called) competes fiercely with religious communities for the time and attention of adherents who would rather be fans or direct participants in playful games.

But when the Son of man comes he finds little faith, therefore he finds little fruit. An outward profession may cause us to be called children of the kingdom; but if we rest in that, and have nothing else to show, we shall be cast out.

God wants to see the oppressed set free. He wants to see worldy burdens lifted from the poor. The Lord wants the hungry fed, the homeless sheltered, the naked clothed, and the needs of our brothers and sisters provided for. It has become clear to me through…

The “love yourself” part resembles the feel-good, power-of-positive-thinking dogmas of Presbyterian pastors of the mid-twentieth-century era, such as Norman Vincent Peale and Robert Schuller. So was Rogers a self-esteem-promoting follower of Peale, and did his show pander to his audience, as Rogers has been accused of doing…
