Kirk Cameron Joins the Anti-Mormon Chorus
(Sort Of)

By Julie Ingersoll

…rnet humor, said he hadn’t actually been invited to be part of Divine Destiny. But he declined anyway: I had heard that there were plans to put me on the list of speakers. I bought tickets… then there was a mix up… and I was cut from the list, if I had indeed been on a list… but I had some Christians who expressed concern…. and then I read your article and I… decided it would be best for me to wait and see how things play themselves out. Howse ask…

Final (Probably) Thoughts On The Aqua Buddha Ad

By Sarah Posner

…ing to sway them one way or the other, since they were likely Paul voters anyway. And as a Louisville reader at Talking Points Memo writes in, Conway faced a barrage of oppositional advertising which probably had more of an impact on his declining poll numbers than Aqua Buddha since, of course, most people aren’t analyzing it as closely as pundits and political writers do. But the question remains — as it has since around 2006, when the Democrats…

The Southern Baptists Dumped a Predator or Two, but Let’s Hold Off on the F-word

By Anne Linstatter

…id to the all-male Roman Catholic hierarchy. Yet both groups continue to deny that there could be any connection between all-male power and the sexual abuse of women and children. “This is a pivotal moment in American Protestantism,” writes Diana Butler Bass in an opinion piece on the CNN website, pointing to the “rare move” when “more than 600 leaders in the United Methodist Church filed a strongly-worded formal complaint against Attorney General…

SBC’s #MeToo Problem Isn’t a Rotten Apple, It’s a Rotten Theological Tree

By Dianna Anderson

…of God. I believe that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is the great news that any sinner who believes in the Lord Jesus Christ will be saved.” A pastor who instructs a wife to submit to her abusive husband—as Patterson did—is therefore not truly following complementarian theology. Any abuse justified by complementarianism, in Mohler’s eyes, is not true complementarianism and can therefore be discounted. As Donnelly says, “The foundational belief of wo…

Christian Astronomer Sues University over Creationist Belief

By Lauri Lebo

…S. Senior District Judge Karl S. Forester of the Eastern District of Kentucky ruled that Gaskell has a right for his allegations to be heard in court. From an article last week in the Louisville Courier-Journal: “The record contains substantial evidence that Gaskell was a leading candidate for the position until the issue of his religion or his scientific position became an issue,” Forester wrote late last month in rejecting the university’s motio…

Let Gay People Rehab Marriage

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…who agree with Mohler that marriage is “an institution central to human happiness and flourishing,” we want the ability to flourish together as married couples, and yes, even to raise children together. For Mohler, and others who believe as he does on the issue of marriage equality, to deny gays and lesbians that right, is to cruelly deprive an entire population of what is essential to “human happiness and flourishing.” It would seem to me that i…

Southern Baptist Pres Denounces Gay Bashing in Favor of Eternity in Hell

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…the sinners. Since Mohler, by his own rule, can’t bash gays and lesbians anymore he turns his ire on “liberal churches and denominations” who “accommodate themselves to the new moral reality.” In this one sentence, Mohler completely discounts the deep and painful experiences that each of these denominations has gone through over the years. They are not “accommodating” anyone. Instead, they have listened deeply and compassionately to their gay and…

Where Did White Evangelicalism’s Hatred of Critical Race Theory Really Begin?

By Andre E. Johnson

…: We deny that Christian belief, character, or conduct can be dictated by any other authority, and we deny that the postmodern ideologies derived from intersectionality, radical feminism, and critical race theory are consistent with biblical teaching. We further deny that competency to teach on any biblical issue comes from any qualification for spiritual people other than clear understanding and simple communication of what is revealed in scriptu…

Misdiagnosing Nationalism as ‘Christian’ Exacerbates the Challenges of Islamophobia: A Response to Murali Balaji

By John W. Morehead

…Pence are both white Christian nationalists, though the former hardly has any attachment to the actual theology of Christianity. In this regard, white Christian nationalists draw upon and reference a pure white Christian ideal—one that arguably never existed anywhere. If we reference Benedict Anderson’s notion of imagined communities, the white Christian ideal becomes an affinity that helps to build a collective identity. The terrorist’s manifesto…
