Gay Chutzpah: An LGBT Synagogue Thrives

…me part of the records of our changing world. I assume we all have a short list of ethnographies or other types of scholarship that influenced our professional development and served as models for our later work.

…with other programs, such as various 12-step programs. It’s an information list of resources, not an endorsement list.

Satan, Contributor to Teen Vogue‘s New “Sodomy” Section?

…going around. About two centuries later, Thomas Aquinas offers an expanded list of “unnatural” acts for both sexes—a list that becomes authoritative for much of Christian theology.

I’m Too Sexy for My Church: Will a Thriving Singles Scene Renew American Catholicism?

…ce activities to social events. YMA now has 700 active people on its email list. Young adult groups can give the sense that the church wants to marry people off so they will have Catholic babies, but Jarzembowski says this is a misperception.

Indeed, marriage has changed d…

And, incidentally (we’d further point out), would it be politicians — most of whom have no medical training — crafting this legislation? Or, gosh, would the…

Republicans Claim Shari’ah Law Threatens Constitution

…mad said, is charity. But Gaffney et al. portray shari’ah as a fixed legal code that a fifth column of “adherents” seek to implement in place of the Constitution (somehow, they don’t explain how one Muslim in Congress or the less than one percent of the U.S. adult population that is Muslim would accomplish this).
