		<description><![CDATA[Christian sci-fi writer Simon Morden gave a talk at the 2005 Greenbelt Arts Festival entitled &#8220;Sex, Death and Christian Fiction&#8221; in which he (quite cogently, I believe) critiques &#8220;Christian fiction, its theology and its shortcomings&#8221; as it is presently being published, particularly by US publishers adhering to Christian Booksellers Association (CBA) guidelines.
