By Michael Schulson

…ficant temples throughout Mexico and Central America, as well as in Chile, Colombia, Spain, and, of course, the United States. California alone has around 40 churches, and there are major congregations in Houston, Atlanta, and New York City as well. Along the way, LLDM has been able to take advantage of a broader growth in Latin American Protestantism—a trend that has tended to favor pentecostal movements.

By Peter Montgomery

…the democratic referendum of course — death penalty for those who want to promote homosexuality,” Enteo said. “They should be stoned to death, like God ordered.” Meanwhile, Russian officials’ habit of equating homosexuality with pedophilia continued. On the eve of the Olympics, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Kozak said gay athletes and fans would be safe but said, “Please do not touch kids.” President Vladimir Putin had made a similar statement ea…

By Deborah Jian Lee

…stians of color cultivating spiritual communities. An adoptee from Bogotá, Colombia, named after the Spanish mystic St. Teresa of Avila and raised by a white Catholic family in New Jersey, Pasquale Mateus has always felt drawn to mystical spirituality. In her twenties, yoga and meditation became a lifeline as she healed from sexual trauma. But because these traditions didn’t speak her religious language, she turned to the Christian contemplative m…

By Joseph Laycock

…ntry is open to unrestricted tourism again. Next, I’m heading to Medellin, Colombia on a food and travel journalism project. For the time being, I’m focusing on the release of The Little Book of Satanism: A Guide to Satanic History, Culture & Wisdom. I hope my short guidebook can help people understand the roots of religious Satanism, and put to rest the many misguided ideas about Satanists and their practices. As always, I’ll be sharing updates f…

Tattoos, Cremation, Personal Spirituality: The Jewish World in Transformation

By Dana Evan Kaplan

…n of the episode and so you can read about it in the book. I was in Bogotá Colombia that summer and I rewrote that half of chapter literally dozens of times but in the end I couldn’t use it anyway. In addition, there were thousands of programs, organizations, personalities, controversies, debates, dialogues, responses and so forth that I just didn’t have room for. The main purpose of such a book is to help the reader to see the broad trends. Too m…

Vatican Official Challenges Excommunication in Brazil

By Frances Kissling

…e conscience of the physician finds itself alone when forced to decide the best thing to do.” Is he suggesting that in spite of the church’s position that objectively abortion is always wrong, the individual has some latitude in deciding when it might be the lesser of two evils and a physician might subjectively in good conscience decide that abortion was morally justified in extreme cases? And, what I ask is an extreme case. While in the Archbish…

Global Anti-Gay Forces Plot Against ‘Satanic’ Equality Movement

By Peter Montgomery

…n under investigation by the officials in the prime minister’s office for “promoting homosexuality” since mid-March. The organization has been trying to resolve the matter quietly, but activists in Uganda say privately the investigation could be the beginning of an ominous political turn they have long feared — that the law would work not only to destroy the lives of hundreds of LGBT individuals, but also would become a weapon used against critics…

By Daniel José Camacho

…nced status quo. Coalitions are needed, but not the ahistorical kinds that promote erasure of particular struggles. Rev. Barber’s activism is grounded in a rich historical memory, as demonstrated in his new book The Third Reconstruction and the accompanying interview here on RD. His calls for “fusion friendships” are not based on simple idealisms and platitudes of unity and reconciliation but on overlooked precedents. Equally as important, he is q…

The Best Books Media of 2008

By Jeff Sharlet

…elknap/Harvard University, put all of its considerable prestige behind its promotion—in 2007, that is, when Harvard published the book. The fact that the Times slipped the book onto its 2008 list is a clue that such lists aren’t so much a reflection of the best as of what the editors read and cared about that year. That can lead to a certain amount of cronyism—books by Times contributors are especially well represented on the Times’ list—which is…

“Love Them As Yourself”: God’s Words or IKEA Instructions?

By Marcia Pally

…offering this hospitality? Marco Rubio said. “If ISIS is able to conduct a successful [Paris-like] operation in the U.S…. that would be an enormous bonanza for them in terms of funding but also of recruits from all over the world.” If we take seriously the idea that biblical principles aim at “the best possible life for all,” what would be the “bonanza” for “the best life” from following those principles and rescuing the refugees? I’m not making p…
