        What makes the current cultural battles unique is that they represent an American political re-alignment where conservative and liberal members of any given congregation have less in common with their fellow parishioners than they do with conservatives and liberals across faith boundaries. In a political sense then, it is less important if one is Catholic, Protestant, or Jew; but rather more important if they identify with conservative or liberal values.This has caused splits in many congregations over issues such as the official treatment of homosexuals.

        Since I did not get around to creating this page until after I had concluded my research into culture wars, you will find no lengthy essays here, mostly just a collection of news stories.
