By Mike Greer

…does not see itself as an activist church on this issue. I think Crescent Hill sees itself as Crescent Hill and this is wholly consistent with the DNA of Crescent Hill that’s been in place since at least 1926 when Southern Baptist Seminary moved from Broadway downtown to the hill on which it is currently situated. Crescent Hill was formed in 1908. I feel confident in saying that this is who we are and this is pretty much who we always have been. I…

For the Love of God, Bono, Please Stop Touring

By Ben Swihart

…ly black, a stadium full of white people who paid more than a Benjamin for tickets is not going to be the nexus for authentic justice conversations. I work for a white, affluent, suburban, mega-church, so I’m used to that. But at that moment, before the music even started, I knew what my friend was referencing—I was about to get spiritual too. “They knew they were born to weep and keep the morticians employed as long as they pledge allegiance to t…

…our DNA.” Another offers, “if we take guns away, people are just going to kill people with something else.” At a lunch meeting at a Capitol Hill restaurant, during which Schenck is attempting to persuade two close colleagues on the gun issue, Troy Newman, president of the anti-abortion group Operation Rescue, argues with his friend, “an armed society is a polite society.” Schenck is obviously pained by these pronouncements by his fellow travelers,…

By Anita Little

…acism forced me to pause and actually reevaluate my own sense of the American story and what the role of faith is in that,” says McBride. “Things have not changed here. People are still being targeted, they’re still being stopped, they’re still being murdered.” Like the biblical bush that burned unacknowledged until someone decided to see it, Ferguson three years post-uprising is still striving to be seen….

By Chrissy Stroop

…nary and thereby challenges the patriarchal norms supported by Wendler. In illegally and unilaterally blocking an innocent drag fundraiser from taking place on campus, Wendler wasn’t defending women.

…nstitutions and spiritual movements need money. I’ve paid for High Holiday tickets, passed the plate at church, and dropped bills into the basket at yoga class. But Osho’s opacity and its denial of the obvious (robes and shampoos, wine and brownies, books and videos were all moneymakers) bothered me. My fuming was worthless. Orientation still started 45 minutes late. My students and I, packed into a classroom with 20 other guests, were led through…

Huckabee Channels Rushdoony

By Julie Ingersoll

…e hand working behind the scenes with what’s going on in history, history will be an incomprehensible enigma.” He then describes contemporary secular history as an intentional effort by the likes of Robert Ingersoll (no known relation), the American Liberal Union, and professional historians such as Charles and Mary Beard, to re-write American history without God. For Rushdoony, Barton, and apparently Huckabee, history is not the academic discipli…

…on Thursdays, carrying horns and trumpets. And they hope eventually more will show up, to the tune of thousands and thousands. Benita Pedersen, an organizer from Alberta, was interviewed by a sympathetic Christian YouTube channel about what they’re doing. Pedersen says she felt a “call on her heart” to do this. She’d been given a steer horn by a local farmer. She knew she had to bring it to Ottawa and that she had to do a Jericho March. She’s now…
