…ertain conditions. If the politicians in question are white, straight, and come off as “tough guy” protector types (think Roy Moore, Arnold Schwarzenegger, or Donald Trump), a persona more common among conservatives, then such politicians need not apologize for, nor even confess, their sexual wrongdoing, which can be read as an admission of weakness. When they break the sexual rules, this is often seen simply as a side-effect of their powerful mas…

How Do Evangelical Missionaries in Brazil Justify Risking Indigenous Lives During a Pandemic?

By Chrissy Stroop

…Pews: Stories of Leaving the Church. Through those experiences and in our community in general, I had numerous opportunities to observe career missionaries. One talking point that commonly arises in evangelical subculture is that “there is no safer place to be than in the center of God’s will.” If God needs you not to have coronavirus, in other words, you won’t get it; and why would God want people to get coronavirus in church after all?

By Sara Williams

…rspective, absolutely. From a patriarchal perspective: nah, not really.

Open Carry Racism: The Right Wing Fever Dream that Predates Trump

By Jason C. Bivins

…inues its exodus, a stream of comic book villains exiting stage right. The combination of venality, incompetence, and pathological narcissism, however, remains. And the world lives in the Trump era’s bubble of strangely dilated time: everything agonizingly slow—and bewilderingly fast. But for all the post-mortems on the 2016 election, for every Hillbilly Elegy that says to white rage “I feel your pain,” or every column wondering how evangelicals c…

…pport them in their spiritual lives by seeing that the three pillars of welcome, safety and inclusion are implanted in the Church. “These issues are complicated. Churches find the matter toxic and are, just like political parties, afraid of splits. Other Churches here have networks supporting LGBT members and these have been successful to the degree that these Churches are no longer talking ‘into themselves’, but tentatively finding ways to dialog…

By Andrew Wilkes

…ce economy that looks increasingly like an on-demand, servant economy. Overcoming these problems requires that we name them accurately, even if our problem-solving abilities are outstripped by the enormity of our challenges. The price of deception, Thurman continues, is to become a deception. American elections, as we can see so clearly this season, are exercises in deception. The prevailing frame of the ideal voter as middle class and the excessi…

#OpenTheseDoors: A Movement to Turn New York’s Closed Churches into Shelters

By Kaya Oakes

…with the idea of vacant space, the church and homeless crisis. Advent was coming up, and we saw the link about specific churches that had been closed and wanted to sign a light on these specific buildings.” The result is a website, Twitter, and Instagram that mimics a traditional Advent calendar, with an image of a closed church’s doors unveiled every day. “We wanted it to be a joyful action,” Hannigan says, adding that “church doors are pretty p…
