By Kittredge Cherry

…eedom of speech in other countries. The recent Austrian controversy is the latest battle in an ongoing war over queer Christian art, some of the most dramatic cases of which are documented in my book, Art That Dares: Gay Jesus, Woman Christ, and More. The brave, visionary artists who portray the gay Jesus face censorship, hate mail, violence, death threats, and/or vandalism that destroy their work. Many are accused of blasphemy as religious freedo…

Mexico’s Religious Conservatives Seek Anti-LGBT Constitutional Amendment, LGBT Activists Defend Secular Government; Cash From Qatar Funds ‘Traditional’ Family Activism Worldwide; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…sake of the little ones. Many little ones will fall into this sin if LGBT promoters push them. And we also protest for the sake of the LGBT promoters themselves. For their sin will be multiplied by every abused child that they push into sodomy.” Orozco discounts the likelihood of such an appeal, since Belizean law generally bars “interested parties” from appealing if the parties themselves decline. Rather, his focus is on understanding the decisi…

Wesolowski Sexual Abuse Case a New Approach or Same Old Same Old?

By Mary E. Hunt

…re the news of his crimes hit. But it could, so it would, and it did. This latest twist about lifting immunity is meant to convince that they were really doing the right thing all along. It rings suspiciously hollow. A certain slime factor hovers over this case—evil so deep and enduring that few people want to talk about it. The sheer number of victims and their willingness to come forward despite whatever stigma they might endure give this case s…

Planned Parenthood Gets Religious Support

By Patricia Miller

…ensuring women’s health and moral autonomy. We are deeply troubled by the latest deplorable attacks on Planned Parenthood by faux groups, which demonstrate the lengths to which antiabortion extremists will go to curtail women’s right to obtain a legal medical procedure. Our organizations share a faith-centered commitment to the most marginalized and the most vulnerable of our society, including those with limited financial means or those who live…

Religion Comes to its Senses

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

First, a spoiler alert of sorts: the “half” in S. Brent Plate’s latest book is us. That is, the seeking, incomplete human body. Plate, a longtime RD writer and Visiting Associate Professor of Religious Studies at Hamilton College, contends that religion is a physical activity, the spiritual experienced through our senses. And each of those five other objects—stones, incense, drums, crosses, and bread—have a sensory component. (You can read an ada…

By Gabriel Mckee

…n find them streaming on Netflix) — ed. Joseph Laycock_______________ This latest Doctor Who episode contains several elements for vampire aficionados. The vampire aristocrat Rosana Calvierri is apparently based on Elizabeth Bathory, the historical “blood countess” of Hungary, who would have been twenty years old in 1580 when the episode is set. Bathory was accused of murdering young women and bathing in their blood, just as Calvierri preyed on th…

Trump’s ‘God Bless the USA Bible’ is No Joke

By Cavan Concannon

…anceled the project after a number of its Christian authors protested. The latest iteration of the GBUSA still includes Greenwood’s endorsement, but in addition it now has the dubious honor of being “the only Bible endorsed by President Trump!” While neither the former president nor any of his various corporate entities actually produced the GBUSA, his endorsement seems to have come with a price. His “name, likeness and image [are used] under paid…

Accept Gays? Only If They Know Their Place

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ians crushed and torn by religious hatred in his review of the book in the latest issue of The Christian Century. As an evangelical Christian whose career has been spent in the South, I must say I find it scandalous that the most physically and psychologically dangerous place to be (or even appear to be) gay or lesbian in America is in the most religiously conservative families, congregations and regions of this country. Most often these are Chris…

By The Editors

…to show mercy. Incidentally, we thank Dmitry Anatolievich Medvedev for his latest wonderful aphorism. If Medvedev gave his presidency the slogan: “Freedom is better than non-freedom”, then, thanks to Medvedev’s felicitous saying, Putin’s third term has a good chance of being known by a new aphorism: “Prison is better than stoning.” I would like you to think carefully about the following reflection by Montaigne from his Essays written in the 16th c…
