Praying in Fear

By Katherine Kelaidis

…s to the far corners of the globe: Canada, South Africa, Australia and the United States. Thus Orthodoxy emerged in the United States as an immigrant church, the church of Southern and Eastern European immigrants, as well as Arabs—all of whom occupied the lower rungs of America’s all-important racial pecking order.

By Daniel Schultz

…een ready to bravely blame somebody else for the problems of life in these United States. Given conservative evangelical support for—and by “support for” we mean “control over”—the Trump administration, it should come as no surprise that on the subject of religious liberties, the story has been one step forward, two steps back … then another two, and give me three more just for good measure.

Catholics United’s Chris Korzen condemned Hudson’s call for a Catholic tea party. “There’s clearly no place for lies, violence, and anti-government rhetoric in the Catholic Church,” he said. “Yet, that’s exactly what we’re going to have unless the Catholic Bishops start to denounce the tea party movement. Regrettably, we’ve seen exactly the opposite from them over the course of the p…

By Shaul Magid

…ese are questions that shaped the institutionalization of the field in the United States in the 1970s and 1980s. To offer some context, below I briefly sketch this history, with special reference to the founding of the AJS in 1969 and the published proceedings of the meeting at which it was first discussed.
