Sexual Abuse is Inevitable in Christian Patriarchy; Just Take a Look at Doug Wilson’s Christ Church, and its New ‘Documentary’ ‘Eve in Exile: The Restoration of Femininity’

…nist viewpoint, I would rather list her credentials (which, according to eveinexile.com, include designing fabrics, teaching high school, and editing curricula for Canon Press), if we’re to play by the patriarchal rules, it’s clear she’s credentialed by her relationship with her father and her husband, both powerful men in the Christ Church community. And if we’re to take her at her word, the film is the fruit of her calling to glorify her husband…

The End of Roe and School Prayer: America is Not Ready to Be a Christian Nation

…ds on two recent cases, Trinity Lutheran (2017) and Espinoza (2020). Our Founders understood that to wield the state’s taxing power to inculcate religion was to violate the religious freedom of every citizen. In the Virginia Statute for Religious Freedom, a forerunner to our First Amendment, Thomas Jefferson wrote that taxing citizens to fund religion was “sinful and tyrannical.” But this court is poised to say that not requiring government-enforc…

Black Satanist Candidate Faces LA Sheriff Shakedown

…2012, he says, police shot and killed the family dog during a similar incident. Hill isn’t a bombastic man. He describes calls to “defund the police” as “an asinine phraseology” that distracts from more practical reform efforts. He tried to speak about his experience before an oversight committee discussing police reform, but was told to file a formal complaint and be silent. When he finally got a call from a lieutenant, Hill says the way the lie…

The Right’s ‘Grooming’ Rhetoric Didn’t Begin with QAnon — You Have to Go Back a Bit Further to Get to the Source

…but evidence appears to point to widespread sexual abuse happening within evangelical institutions, often covered up by patriarchal leaders. In all of my research on evangelical culture in Colorado Springs, including sitting through dozens of sermons, Bible study conversations, and conducting around one hundred interviews, I rarely heard anyone mention the existence or possibility of sexual abuse taking place within the church. The current focus o…

The Most Forgotten Queer Folks in the US are Fighting Back Against a Powerful — and Publicly Funded — Group That Discriminates With Impunity

…e there” displays a severe lack of empathy and represents, at best, a profound misunderstanding of how socialization works. It seems to imply, wrongly, that the queer kids in evangelical and LDS institutions made a conscious choice to attend those schools with the goal of stirring up trouble—a victim-blaming mentality that couldn’t be further from reality. It’s wrong, plain and simple, to teach children that something is wrong with them because of…

As Florida Attempts to Make it Illegal, an Argument for the Sacred Work of White Discomfort

…generations. If we white Christians can muster the courage to walk in its company, discomfort with our racial history can be a sacred and saving gift. ### This article was originally published on Jones’ #WhiteTooLong substack newsletter.

Praying for a Victory: Packed Supreme Court Takes Up Yet Another Christian Nationalist Cause

…emember Matthew Kacsmaryk as the judge who abused his power to force the Biden administration to reinstate Trump’s “Remain in Mexico” policy. (Another Institute lawyer, Jeff Mateer, was nominated to the federal bench but his virulently anti-LGBTQ remarks that surfaced were apparently even too much for Trump and McConnell, and his nomination was pulled. He’s back at the Institute as Executive Vice President and Chief Legal Officer working on this c…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

…cism. Thus, the paradigm shift started to turn on the events of 1940. President Biden pinned the blame for J6 on Trump. No sitting president in my lifetime came within an inch of calling his predecessor a traitor. That seems like an indicator of paradigm shifting, no? Absolutely. I don’t think we’ve seen anything like this since at least the Civil War. The evidence is so overwhelming, I think Biden was on safe political ground to take off the glov…

Facing White Christianity’s Role in the January 6th Insurrection

…ed doors just minutes after members of Congress had been evacuated through underground tunnels. That flag was familiar to me, as it would have been to many from my church, where it flanked the pulpit along with the American flag, and where, as a child in vacation Bible school, I remember being led in a pledge of allegiance to both flags. The Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg, who interviewed rioters on the Capitol grounds, wrote that “the conflation of…

‘Landmark’ Speech From LDS Leader on LGBTQ Rights and Religious Freedom Was More Like a Sunnier Groundhog Day

…hout pointing to any one group in particular, Oaks said: “Recently, I have come to understand the distress of those who feel that religions are invoking their religious rights—like the free exercise of religion & freedom of speech—to deny or challenge their own core beliefs & their access to basic constitutional rights.” If we go ahead and assume he was talking about LGBTQ+ rights advocates, it sounds pretty good. Like I said, the rhetoric was les…
