Falling in Love With the Earth: Francis’ Faithful Ecology

…d to talk about ecological crisis in terms that are hard to assimilate. We talk about the vast structural powers of atmosphere and anthropogenic change. We talk about the complicated ocean acidification that dissolves away at livable ecologies. We talk about the swirls of energy from fossil fuels and various structural oppressions that energize climatological change. The problems overwhelm our imaginative creativity to respond. Nothing can be done…

Stop the Coup 2025 Founder on the Dangers of the Heritage Foundation’s Authoritarian Playbook

…t up in talking about social issues or identity politics that they stopped talking about the rule of law. They stopped talking about the democracy that they wanted. Now that they’ve lost their rights, that’s what they’re working on. They think they’re gonna end up in five years or 10 years or 15 years with a stronger democracy but at a high, high cost. This is again where faith communities come in, which is the critical work of talking about the f…

Transforming America’s Israel Lobby

…nding a common language, a shared set of rhetorical protocols about how to talk about the conflict, and which topics to talk about. If American Jews who want to end one-sided diplomacy in the Middle East still censor what they say even among themselves, how can they expect America’s political elite to push for a different American approach to the Arab-Israeli conflict? How can they expect anyone in the executive branch to avoid anticipatory vetoes…

Transgender and Christian: Finding Identity

…One woman who didn’t identify as transgender so much as just androgynous, talked about her acute depression and how she wakes up every morning and wants to die. The conversation turned from there to talk about wholeness as a person and the wonders of God’s love. One guy got up and left abruptly; and another person fell asleep. At the end, they all seemed satisfied, though. I asked one participant, a tall transwoman about why she comes to the grou…

Healed of the Sin of Religion: At Church with Sara Miles

…ty in America. In Jesus Freak you write about going around the country, to talk about your work with food pantries, and change in churches, and meeting many people who say something like, “Oh, it’s wonderful what you do, but we could never do that here…!” It’s this weird thing. Before I became one, I didn’t understand there’s this whole industry of church professionals whose job it is to be inspirational. So here’s what I think—and this is not an…

The Dangerous Fact About QAnon Believers That Reporters Fail to Grasp

…a plate of eggs and bacon, what they mean is punishing the weak. When they talk about their “liberty,” what they mean is their dominance. When they talk about their “traditional values,” what they mean is their control. A Times reporter can’t possibly know any of that. The problem is made worse when sources give voice to this or that conspiracy theory. She can’t know her sources aren’t delusional. She can’t know they aren’t crazy. She can’t know t…

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

…liberals are all one tradition in a sense, and it is easier to get them to talk to each other. But the real challenge is when you might try to get liberals and fundamentalists from the same tradition to talk to each other. That seems to be the challenge of the twenty-first century. Have you ever seen a common language, or a sense of the common good develop between a fundamentalist group and a liberal group of the same tradition? I haven’t really s…

Too Hot for Shul: Rabbis Seek Healthy Israel Dialogue After Gaza

…re “nervous,” Zimmerman said, and “it’s important that they have people to talk to.” The Clash of Spiritual Optimism and Political Reality While Rosen has clearly touched the most charged third rail in American Judaism, another, more subtle one persists, particularly for progressive Zionists: questioning the claim that Israel’s serial military incursions into Gaza since the 2006 Israeli settlement withdrawal from the territory are wars of necessit…

For Douthat, Church Either Uncompromising or a Secular Den of Promiscuity and Irrelevance

…each other—seem a little outdated. More’s the pity.) But if we’re going to talk about internal contradictions, let’s talk about the one where only certain things count as theological convictions. In his recent book Bad Religion, Douthat gives some hallmarks of the kind of grounded, stable, uncompromising, historically-informed Christianity he thinks is capable of standing on principle and enduring through time. Those hallmarks include belief in th…

The Tea Party, the Blind Man, and the Elephant: Part 2

…much about religion—and I don’t mean just explicit religion. There was no talk of home schools or Christian schools, no real talk about the founders’ religious intentions. They value “moral leadership” but don’t define what that is. This may be an effort to energize Republicans but there was about as much “God” at this meeting as there is in the Constitution. This doesn’t change my view about what is happening at the national level, what is at th…
