PaganNewsBeagle Faithful Friday Jan 16

PaganNewsBeagle Faithful Friday Jan 16

In today's Faithful Friday post of the PaganNewsBeagle, we have Voudou mental health in Haiti; Siberian shamans; the "Better News Club"; boom in online ordinations; is religion a force for good?

In Haiti, Vodou priest/esses are now delivering mental health services (in coordination with international health NGOs).

Check out this amazing photo essay of a Siberian shamanic gathering.

Got an child-evangelizing "Good News Club" in your school? One atheist parent group responded by starting a humanist "Better News Club."

Online ordinations have been used by would-be Pagan ministers for decades. Apparently, the practice of being ordained online is spreading, especially with the popularity of spiritual ceremonies among the "unchurched."

The Washington Post offers a philosophical question: is religion a force for good? (For that matter, how do we define "religion" and "good"?)
