…is difficult test and so that they will not sell for the lure of money.” A sign on a Hasidic-owned building during that time said, “We need AFFORDABLE housing!” After the the December 19 protest passed through the neighborhood, one Hasidic man who wouldn’t give his name said that blaming dress code for the removal of the bikes lane “is just bullshit.” He is disappointed with how his people have been portrayed in news reports about this issue and i…

Women of Opus Dei Explain “True Feminism”

By Kate Childs Graham

…” that arose in the fallout of the media attention surrounding The DaVinci Code provided much of the impetus for a new book: Women of Opus Dei. A collection of essays and interviews by women involved in “The Work,” Women of Opus Dei is meant to set the record straight when it comes to the subjugation of women within the order.

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ncidentally; missed it by a couple of miles—carried a sign at a rally. The sign had the F-bomb on it. “If I wanted the government in my womb, I’d fudge [only it wasn’t fudge] a senator.” It wasn’t actually her own sign. Someone else had brought it. But she posed for pictures with it, presumably because she is a senator and that’s sort of funny. I mean, you probably had to BE there, but I could imagine it being sort of funny in context, you know? H…

…of planetary decline and death. A Proposal: Try Working Under the Rainbow Sign For everyone purveying apocalyptic scenarios—for the biblicists as well as for the distraught secularists—there might be some wisdom and some consolation in recalling the Rainbow Sign that God gave to Noah following the Great Flood (Genesis 8). In this never-revoked covenantal promise God says: “I will never again curse the ground because of humankind… As long as the e…

By Ali Olomi

…goes hand-in-hand with violence against women. If gay individuals became a sign of moral and societal decay that needed to be purified, then women became a symbol of vulnerability that needed to be protected. The forced veiling of women is a testament to the endeavor of jihadist militant groups to supposedly preserve society. As scholar of gender, Minoo Moallem, notes in her work on fundamentalism in Iran, “The veil signified an Islamic femininity…

The Link Between Texas’ Law Requiring ‘In God We Trust’ Signs in Schools and the January 6 Insurrection

By Andrew L. Seidel

…LGBTQ+ rainbow lettering or in Arabic. There is, of course, a reason these signs have been rejected, and it’s not the one-sign limit some have claimed. This pushback in fact only highlights the direct connection between the January 6th insurrection and these In God We Trust laws (along with the legislators behind them). But first, here’s the most important thing about “In God We Trust”: We don’t. There is no “collective trust in God” because there…

The author of Revelations suggests readers may not understand…

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…also didn’t work, no doubt adding to the urgency of the current imbroglio. Signers and non-signers It’s remarkable that even as the new statement makes broad accusations of false prophecy, it names no one. Signed by some 900 leaders at this writing, the statement includes such prominent apostles and prophets as Joseph Mattera, John P. Kelly, Steven Strang, Negiel Bigpond, Abby Abildness, R. Loren Sandford, Jeremiah Johnson, Kris Vallotton, James W…
