For years, I’ve been blogging on WhitbyForum—named for the historic 7th Century double monastery in Northumbria, England. Whitby Abbey represented the Blessed Alliance theme, for it was a double monastery where men and women (monks and nuns) were working together. But the sad fact is that the technology of my old website is outdated, and it is time to move on to something new. It has taken me a while to get this up and running and I still have more tweaking to do.

I’m sorry to see WF go, but very glad finally to be launching this new website, which I can already tell is a lot easier to use—and just in time for some important announcements.

Happening Tonight, February 29!

• The documentary film, He Named Me Malala will air at 8ET/7CT on the National Geographic Channel. You won’t want to miss this powerful account of Malala’s journey from a little Pakistani girl who was (and still is) hungry to learn who became  a target of the Taliban and is now a global voice on behalf of education for girls, and boys too.  Read my review—“A Warrior Named Malala”—and join the effort to help raise support for the Malala Fund with tweets using the hashtag #withMalala. Every tweet adds $1 to the fund up to a total of $50,000.

• SheLovesMagazine is hosting a live FaceBook chat on #Malestrom this evening, 9ET/8CT at The Red Couch. I am looking forward to this opportunity to discuss crucial issues that are impacting men and boys globally and the incredibly counter-cultural gospel vision of masculinity that the Bible presents. Join in if you can.
