Rick Perry and the New Apostolic Reformation

…ian Embassy” in Washington (at about this time), and started ministries to businessmen. I think he had a sense that broad-based evangelism alone wouldn’t “restore America to its Christian roots.” Campus Crusade had been converting scores of students and others for more than two decades, but he lamented that society was nevertheless becoming “less Christian.” Therefore, Christians should target the key leaders of society, evangelizing them and try…

On Eve of Sudan Split Clashes Continue

By Ashley Makar

…ational organizations in Juba during the day, and he hopes to run a little business for people coming home from work, to help them forget what happens at their jobs; he’ll project films on a wall and serve hot and cold drinks after sunset. He’s already sent a film projector to Juba with his friend Emmanuel, who’s already returned to Sudan. In January, William was trying to figure out how to transport a smoothie machine from Eilat to Juba given th…

Fun with Facts, or, Yes Virginia, The UCC is still a Trinitarian Denomination

By Daniel Schultz

…—much less that President Obama is no longer a member of the UCC—he has no business chastising other reporters for not picking up on what is most emphatically a non-story. That he does it anyway says something about his project at GetReligion, which isn’t about truth or media balance or any such thing. It’s about making tendentious arguments to bolster a conservative vision of religion, even when that vision is pretty weak on the facts. You can te…

The “Abortion Pill” Lie

By Sarah Posner

…ed pregnancy from occurring. They are not abortifacients. The FDA does not classify them abortifacients. Here’s how the Mayo Clinic explains the difference (emphasis added): Keep in mind that the morning-after pill isn’t the same as mifepristone (Mifeprex), also known as RU-486 or the abortion pill. The morning-after pill can prevent pregnancy. If you’re already pregnant when you take the morning-after pill, the treatment will be ineffective and w…

Santorum Satire Gone Wild

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…n Santorum wants to tell her miscarriage story (which she did), that’s her business. But her miscarriage is not there for the world at large to leer at and derive lessons therefrom. “But shall we not even point out the hypocrisy, if it were to turn out to be an elective abortion? I mean, the hypocrisy!” Yeah, look, I mean, I’m asking myself this too. And I guess my answer is: Well, first, I think the original post is clearly wrong on the facts. Bu…

What Will Orthodox ‘Republicanity’ Look Like?

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…ible, and once we reduce the federal government to a more reasonable size, businesses will prosper, and the deficits will disappear. Tax increases? Never. Obviously lowering taxes, especially on the industrial leaders who create new jobs, makes for a more business-friendly environment which will, in turn, increase the wealth of the entire nation (here we should remember that Adam Smith famously invoked what he called an “invisible hand” as the fai…

“A Declaration of Dependence Upon MARRIAGE and FAMiLY”

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…d purposeful order—as conveyed by Jewish and Christian Scripture [sic], by Classical Philosophers [sic], by Natural Law [sic], and by the American Founders [sic].” It argues protections for women and children have diminished “as we have ‘debased the currency’ of marriage,” and therefore asks candidates to vow (or solemnly attest): Personal fidelity to their spouses; Respect for the marital bonds of others; Fidelity to the US Cons…

St. Paul’s Cathedral Leadership Gutted as Occupy London Controversy Grows

By Theo Hobson

…f the protest, while fervently praying that it would not disrupt cathedral business for much longer. The tense situation exploded last Thursday when the cathedral decided to initiate legal proceedings to evict the protesters. Fraser resigned from his post in protest at the risk of “violence in the name of the Church”—and so became the hero of the movement, a sort of Friar Tuck. It is also thought that he had written a report on the ethics of the f…

Did the Pope Claim Gay Marriage as a Threat to Humanity or Didn’t He?

By Peter Montgomery

…humanity”: The pope is a Catholic; perhaps it’s in the nature of the news business to be freshly astonished by this fact every couple of months. It’s also true that the Vatican bureaucracy is arrogant, secretive, suspicious of outsiders, and given to the use of almost impenetrable jargon. Sometimes, as a journalist, you have to explain what they mean. But none of this explains, still less excuses, the claim that he had said gay marriage was a thr…
