Brooks has plenty to sing about. His wife Holly, their three young children and their Brentwood home were relatively unscathed by last Monday's earthquake. His Anything ordeal is over. His new cartoon series The Critic -- created by Simpsons swamis Al Jean and Mike Reiss -- premieres on ABC this week, preceded by reviewers' raves.

They are looking for places to get their needs met," says Pastor Joe S. Ratliff, whose mainly black Brentwood Baptist Church in Houston has swelled from 500 to 10,000 members over 13 years. "Why can't a church be seeker friendly?" Brentwood provides traditional Sunday school and prayer cells, but also a singles ministry (more than half the adult members are unmarried or divorced), prison ministry, AIDS ministry, food...
