Will Gender and Sexuality Rend The Anglican Communion?

By Becky Garrison

…rummage sale. During the last such upheaval the Great Reformation of five hundred years ago, Protestantism took over hegemony. But Roman Catholicism did not die.

Glenn Beck’s Salvation Army

By Peter Montgomery

…ies of ours. They are enemies of Him. They are enemies of man’s freedom.” “Commanding us as a people.” Doesn’t that sound dangerously collective? Brent Walker, a longtime advocate for religious liberty, agrees that there’s a dichotomy.

By Nicole Greenfield

…y other—trying to preach God’s Word and spread his gospel throughout their community”), to denouncing it through a series of sweeping generalizations (“The necessarily individualistic, egocentric nature of hip makes it a poor companion for a faith that calls us into community and collective purpose”; “It’s hard to deny yourself or take up any cross daily when you’re chained to the shackles of hip”; “Hipsters care only about freedom, partying, and…

A State Without a Mexican

By Michelle Gonzalez Maldonado

…and backlash against immigrants that would be embodied by SB1070. Tales abound in print, on radio, online, and television media of Latinos/as afraid to be out on the streets. There have been reports of people afraid to leave their homes to go for groceries or to take the kids to school for fear they’d be pulled over or stopped because they are Latino/a, whether they are citizens or not. Businesses in Latino/a neighborhoods are struggling. While SB…

Social Cost of Christianity?

By Lauri Lebo

…faith. (And this woman knocked on my door!) It seems to me that Christian complaints of social stigma come from their evangelical belief that nothing should get in their way of converting lost souls. Any resistance equals discrimination against them—including refusing to accept Jesus Christ as one’s personal savior when he’s delivered directly to your door along with a handful of pamphlets.

By Jay Michaelson

…he built Apple from nothing, not once but twice, and how, in between, he found time to reinvent American cinema (Pixar gets partial credit for the CGI and digital animation revolutions—but partial is enough). He and his fellow hackers did this not as part of the establishment but as countercultural heroes. Big Blue was run by corporate suits—Apple, and the early Microsoft, by long-haired hippies. Steve Jobs invented stuff, and that stuff changed t…

Global LGBT Recap: Culture War Claims More Victims

By Peter Montgomery

…iolence by police; now the victims of the raid wait to be formally charged under the reinstated colonial law that criminalizes “sex against the order of nature.” The article makes it clear that the recriminalization of homosexuality after more than four years in which the law was suspended has created a group of people who had come out publicly and are now vulnerable to having their lives destroyed.
