BlogRoll: Blogs4God, Evangelical Outpost, and Wittenberg Gate

With great moral controversies such as the state-sponsored murder of Terri Schiavo at the center stage of American politics, the godblogs are an indispensable source of righteous support. It's high time we added some more to the BlogRoll.

Blogs4God is a great portal to the explosive growth area represented by religious blogs. In addition to the most comprehensive listing of godblogs found anywhere, Blogs4God offers original content from its moderators. MeanDean has a great piece on his reaction to hearing that three men were arrested for attempting to bring water to Terri Schiavo. One wonders if the arresting officers reflected on the Roman soldiers at Calvary and their similar devotion to duty over mercy.

Evangelical Outpost is perhaps the most famous of the godblogs, for good reason---it's one of the best reads of the blogosphere. Check out this post on the implication of separation of powers and civil disobedience in the Schiavo case for a great example of the high-quality thought to be consumed at this great blog.


I first came across Wittenberg Gate during one of Hugh Hewitt's Vox Blogoli campaigns. I was favorably impressed by the sophistication of the site and its commentary, and began checking back periodically. Dory did such a great job chasing down relevant tidbits to key stories that this site's become the first place I check for a roundup of what's going on in the spiritual side of the blogosphere. Here's a great example: Wittenberg Gate found this account of Terri Schiavo's attorney's last visit with her before the feeding tube was removed. It's blogs like this one which make possible the rapid ad hoc networking that is the core strength of the blogosphere as a political force.

So with a heave, and a ho, to the BlogRoll they will go!
