		<title>Do Christian Music Festivals Make You Want to Switch Religions?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m not a fan of Christian festivals, music or otherwise. Unfortunate things can happen when large numbers of Christians gather in one place and get amped up. Take the Crusades, for example. If a disaster like the latter doesn’t break out, then we face the possibility that a Christian festival will devolve into a scene... <a href="http://www.iancron.com/2010/08/30/i-now-repent-of-my-disdain-for-christian-festivals-at-least-one-of-them/" class="read-more">[read more]</a>]]></description>

		<title>Are You a Christian Mystic?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[In 2006, I went on a pilgrimage to Assisi, Italy to immerse myself in the life and teachings of St Francis of Assisi. It was a magical three weeks. Every morning during my stay, a mist enshrouded the city, and I felt like each well-worn stone yearned to speak of the sacred events it had... <a href="http://www.iancron.com/2010/08/11/are-you-a-christian-mystic/" class="read-more">[read more]</a>]]></description>
