  6. A Catholic homecoming

    As the queen mother of megachurches, Willow Creek Community Church in South Barrington has become a refuge for spiritual seekers and people of faith who no longer feel inspired by the religious institutions that raised them. After the sex abuse scandal that rocked the Roman Catholic Church, droves of Catholics found their way to the undecorated sanctuary and fresh air of Willow Creek.

    Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburglikes the Indian Healthcare Improvement Act and other ingredients of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, aka "Obamacare."

  11. The Rev. John Stott dies at 90; influential Anglican evangelist

    The Rev. John Stott did not fill stadiums with the faithful like his longtime friend, <a href=&quot;http://lat.ms/og7Unw">Billy Graham</a>, or <a href="http://bit.ly/NLvhw">give the invocation</a> at a presidential inauguration, as megachurch pastor Rick Warren did for Barack Obama.
