Henry H. Knight III notes polls show many Christians reflect wider culture more than core beliefs. He says the real impact is how this mixture shapes everyday living, a question not addressed by the polls. He adds that the difference this blend makes is what ultimately matters.

New Year Reflections Spur Spiritual Renewal Across Faiths
In Raleigh the Kadampa Center marks 2010 with a New Year ceremony in the rain. Participants cast sesame seeds into fire to shed negative karma while Geshe Gelek Chodha notes Tibetan tradition of cleansing and renewal.
