Interesting article on io9.com, a website devoted to science fiction:
Christian readers demand more science fiction books. Why won't Christian publishers listen?
As a Christian who reads and writes science fiction, it is a bit of a puzzle. On the other hand, my very secular, small press editor for my novels Antediluvian, Somewhen Obscurely, and Inheritance had no problem with the Christian and religious elements in my stories. So even if Christian publishers won't handle science fiction, there are plenty of mainstream publishers who don't mind Christian or religious themed science fiction. For instance, religion plays a role in many of Robert J. Sawyer's novels. His publisher is Tor, one of the biggest names in science fiction publishing. His novel, Calculating God, is a fascinating book. I don't know his personal beliefs, but his novels nevertheless do not fear to examine seriously a variety of theological and religious topics.

The intent of CLT is not to replace light-frame construction cross laminated timber cost per square foot but rather to offer a versatile, low-carbon, and cost-competitive wood-based solution that complements the existing light frame and heavy timber options while offering a suitable candidate for some applications that currently use concrete, masonry, and steel.
Naked House’ is a London-bred solution to unaffordable housing. The concept ensures affordability through minimalism; the Naked House is essentially a well designed cltarchitecture shell’ structure built from durable, low cost materials without any of the cost-adding finishings that typically come with off -the-shelf ‘affordable’ housing making them unnecessarily expensive. Under this model the home is 100% affordable with 100% ownership affording homeowners the security of long term tenure. In this way homeowners have the flexibility to furnish, modify and expand their homes to meet their needs as and when they can afford to do so.
