By Amanda Furiasse

…ecessary to protect the health and safety of the community. As Berel Lang explains, “the extirpation of the Jews would represent a cure; genocide in effect be a requirement of public health.” Although the horrors of the past often seem like a distant memory, the COVID-19 pandemic raises fundamental questions about how these discourses of contagion continue to haunt contemporary public health policy revealing how it could potentially lead to more d…

By Bruce Wilson

…r practical purposes, Colorado Springs was the Dearborn, Michigan of the next Christianity. A New Reformation? This development has not gone wholly unnoticed. Here’s how an Atlantic Monthly editor portentously introduced historian Philip Jenkins’ October 2002 article, “The Next Christianity”: We stand at a historical turning point, the author argues—one that is as epochal for the Christian world as the original Reformation. Around the globe Christ…

By Gordon Haber

…35 Broadway. There was plenty of New York magic in more recent times. The New Age text A Course in Miracles—famously popularized (some would say appropriated) by former presidential candidate Marianne Williamson—was started in here in 1976, when the voice of Jesus of Nazareth first came to Helen Schucman, a psychologist, in her apartment in the Beresford, at 211 Central Park West.

By Eric C. Miller

…took note. Many—including Christian socialists and progressives—pushed the New Deal to do more. Methodist Will Alexander headed the Farm Security Administration and tried to ensure black Southerners could access its programs. Others complained that the New Deal threatened white supremacy. They saw their own moral authority in danger, both from the federal government and from churches unlike their own. So some whites broke with the New Deal coaliti…

By Mary E. Hunt

…urse. In short, while the Vatican’s rhetoric is promising, the timing and expected next steps make clear that not much has changed at all. So far, the so-called punishment is an insult to Catholics everywhere. “Reduction to the lay state,” Wesolowski’s fate thus far, is only a serious matter if you bank on clergy privilege. Goodness, most Catholics live in the lay state all of our lives and live to tell it. Only the notion that clergy are qualitat…

When Conservatives Turn Revolutionary

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…r stewardship of it, went awry. The reason that Napoleon is still such a vexed and vexing historical figure may be found here. He changed the map and he changed the political ideology of European politics. There was much in what he achieved to warrant our admiration: legal and political reform (the Napoleonic Code), emphasis on good governance, egalitarian virtue, human rights, and the like. If Napoleon was an emperor, then he was an emperor unlik…

…e, a key sponsor of the companion legislation in the Senate, told BuzzFeed News that Lee expects to reintroduce the bill under President Trump, specifically pointing to the incoming administration’s expected sympathy to anti-LGBT “religious freedom” arguments.

Capricology: Television, Tech, and the Sacred

By Diane Winston

…l world with adolescence hints at this as a kind of rite of passage—a time betwixt and between childhood and full adult responsibilities. Much like game worlds, it occurs within a space where actions have been stripped of real-world consequences, though from the first, we discover that Zoe has discovered ways to make what happens in this space count: she’s turned to it as a space of religious conversion and political activism. One of the recurring…

By Peter Montgomery

…ress: Around two-thirds of African countries criminalize consensual same-sex sexual conduct, according to Amnesty International. In the handful of countries that enforce their anti-gay laws, local groups have emerged to push for access to health care and to combat extortion, assaults and other forms of discrimination. In Jammeh’s Gambia, however, such work was all but impossible, and many would-be activists made the painful decision to leave. No A…

…ous life to messianic effect. These men, the men and women who pursue such new lands and new struggles, are McCain’s parish, and their devotion is his ritual practice. His religion is the civil religion of America. “You know,” he explained at this year’s convention, “I’ve been called a maverick; someone who marches to the beat of his own drum. Sometimes it’s meant as a compliment and sometimes it’s not. What it really means is I understand who I w…
