“Profound Delight in Being”: Remembering John Hick

By Amir Dastmalchian

…ven underwent a trial for heresy. On Friday, May 11, I attended a memorial service for Hick in Birmingham. In his later life Hick had become a Quaker and the service was held in the church center he frequented. The gathered sat in the U-shaped rows of the spacious hall, constructed in 1970, with bare white walls and high ceilings. The pipes of an organ dominated one corner of the room. The service followed the Quaker custom of a series of addresse…

By Kaya Oakes

…ite informing readers that he would no longer be writing for Religion News Service. As Sarah Jones recently reported in the New Republic, the 84-year-old wire service has been undergoing what many insiders see as a “spectacular implosion,” with editor Jerome Socolosky being fired in an email by publisher Tom Gallagher, and veteran reporters Kimberly Winston and Lauren Markoe resigning soon thereafter. In the letter, Merritt wrote that his departur…

Catholic Bishops’ Religious Liberty Fight Enables Anti-Jewish Discrimination (Updated)

By Patricia Miller

…milies.” It’s not hard to extend the logic of the bishops and their social service agencies to the assertion that Christian social services agencies shouldn’t be “discriminated” against for refusing to work with those who don’t share their religious beliefs. Evangelical organizations like Miracle Hill, however, appear to be using the religious liberty argument developed by the Catholic bishops as cover for explicit evangelicalization in state and…

Is Army’s New “Humanist” Designation Just Semantic Hooey?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…approved faith codes has concrete implications as well. It gives Humanist service members access to Army Chaplaincy services, including spiritual counseling and gathering spaces for Humanist groups. It also means that the numbers and distribution of Humanists in the military can be tracked along with those of other religious groups, potentially inviting a reshaping of the military chaplaincy, which critics complain is inappropriately weighted in…

Sacred Texting: When Religious Writ Gets Wired

By Rachel Wagner

…tervention? The digital prayer wall is similar to the Wailing Wall’s email service. Worshipers email a prayer to Jerusalem, where it is printed out by a courier and inserted into the wall on their behalf. If they still wish to pray “at” the wall via computer, 24-hour webcams record what is happening on location. But is it really the same thing to email a message to someone who inserts it in the wall on your behalf as to go there yourself? Is God “…

Are Evangelicals Suffering From Buyer’s Remorse with Obama?

By Bill Berkowitz

…nt with others of similar sexual proclivities. Whether or not a segregated service was initiated, a homosexual subculture of servicemen would form, characterized by intense internal loyalty and political ambition. Eventually, this “army within an army,” buoyed by pro-homosexual “affirmative action,” and the ability to act covertly (due to the fact that some would remain “closeted”) would come to dominate the services. What would they do with such…

By Daniel Schultz

…hat’s mentioned above. A poster in the comments claims to have been at the service, and says that the woman “had come to church because of the sermon on civil rights & civility.” Given the ugly racial and sexual rhetoric that’s been floating around our political discourse of late, not to mention the embrace of violent fringe elements, not to mention UU’s recent history with guns in church, am I the only one who thinks making this point was a reall…

This Veterans Day, the Centennial of the Unknown Soldier, Skip the Platitudes and Talk to a Veteran

By Sara Jaye Hart

…an veterans who have served since 9/11, 40% of whom live with a certified, service-connected disability. “Thank you for your service”—America’s current public piety of choice—is insufficient to the task. It smacks of the obligatory and it leaves the person on the receiving end unknown, their service reified and past-tense. It’s time to leaven that ritual platitude with some authentic civic reflection, some historical and situational awareness, and…

Reactions to Biden’s Korean-American Secret Service Agent Expose Christian Nationalism’s Anti-Asian Side

By Lucas Kwong

…of physical and verbal abuse, the sight of Biden’s Korean-American secret service agent seemed to augur change. Perhaps we might begin to rest secure in our status as “real” Americans, emblematized in a highly visible member of Biden’s security team.
