Mass Media and Christian Discernment: Looking Back, Looking Forward

"Newspapers do shape public opinion, not however, through their editorials."

One of the things that the Bible talks about over and over again is that when it comes to matters of justice, especially community justice, where life and other serious things hang in the balance, the situation or an event or an incident must be established by a multiplicity of witnesses, not just by one. In Canada we seem to have a single voice from the establishment media. How then are we to determine truth without a multiplicity of voices?

A Biblical Frame: Current Events in Perspective
Welcome to A Biblical Frame. This is a spontaneous project that arose from a group of pastors and theologians who recognized the great need for theological direction for Christ’s church in Canada.
Canada has faced totalitarian restrictions in response to the Covid-19 pandemic. While there may have been a time to acquiesce to the provincial health officers, that time is coming to an end and the church needs help.
