I just finished sending out [Mere-O Monthly](http://mereorthodoxy.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=97105988c1632183cc925d304&id=655625de2a&ref=mereorthodoxy.com) and thought I'd share it here.

*What?* You haven't signed up for it?

[You should](http://mereorthodoxy.us1.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=97105988c1632183cc925d304&id=655625de2a&ref=mereorthodoxy.com). It's designed for casual readers of Mere-O who want only what the crowds sift through and decide they like. And here's those posts:

1) [Cate wrote a stirring analysis of Jennifer Knapp that garnered all kinds of attention](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2677). The comments thread even made an appearance at Christianity Today.

2) I also added my take on why [we shouldn't objectify Jennifer Knapp (and others!)](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2675) who want to stay out of the spotlight.

3) I took on the question of whether the church fathers were pacifists. [The answer might surprise you](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2711).

4) I was pleased to [see that this post made the list](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2638). After all, it was Easter Sunday and it's the most majestic eight minutes of music *ever*.

5) We talked to First Things web editor Joe Carter about his book *How to Argue Like Jesus* [in the latest installment of Mere-O chats](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2614).

6) Folks seemed to really enjoy the letter [I wrote to a former student after they had a difficult day](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2714).

7) You've heard this theme a thousand times: "Christianity must change or die." [Here's hoping you don't hear it again](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2737).

8 ) The real crime isn't murder. [It's making some members of our species "ambiguously human."](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2697)

9) On a lighter note, [Jeremy dispensed some sage advice to other young couples](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2718).

10) Finally, we'll round it off with an [examination of those anti-political evangelicals you've heard nothing about](https://mereorthodoxy.com/?p=2689).

As always, thanks for reading. We're incredibly blessed to have so many faithful readers, and we hope that you continue to enjoy and be edified by what we write.
