Welcome! My name is Tim Cooper. On this site you will be able to read and respond to dozens of articles or position papers I have written on heavily debated religious and political issues. My objective here is not to hit anybody over the head with my views on faith or politics, but rather to begin a dialogue with those who don't agree with me. I believe the only way we find truth is when we dialog with those who disagree with us.
For your listening pleasure... links to my favorite conversion stories from EWTN's audio library. Right click to download. Notice how many of these Protestant ministers lost their livelihood.
