RD Response to Fox Crit of White Supremacy in Yoga Engages in Victim Blaming

By Rumya Putcha

This piece is a response to Andrea Jain’s “Fox News Controversy on Yoga Reveals Problem of Yoga Discussion.” Read Jain’s response here. Nobody in the world, nobody in history, has ever gotten their freedom by appealing to the moral sense of the people who were oppressing them. – Assata Shakur Earlier this year, Fox News ran a piece titled, “Americans who practice yoga contribute to white supremacy, Michigan State University professor claims,” loo…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent Masterpiece Cakeshop Decision

By Daniel Schultz

If you had to choose a word to describe the news of today’s Supreme Court ruling in the Masterpiece Cakeshop case, you could do worse than “stupid.” In case you’ve been hiding under a rock recently, Masterpiece involves a Colorado baker who refused to sell a wedding cake to a same-sex couple due to his religious beliefs. He was substantially fined by the Colorado Civil Rights Commission, but with the help of the ADF, appealed the case all the way…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

After Bishop Michael Bruce Curry delivered his sermon at today’s wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, many observers around the world wondered, as one headline put it, “Who was the Jesuit priest mentioned during the Royal Wedding sermon?” On Twitter, many of those familiar with the work of that Jesuit priest, Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, expressed surprise and joy at the inclusion of a figure whose work had had a warning, or “monitum,” place…

Pence Meets With One of Putin’s Top Clerics: Strange Bedfellows at BGEA’s World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians

By Chrissy Stroop

Yesterday, U.S. Vice President Mike Pence made headlines for his appearance at the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association’s World Summit in Defense of Persecuted Christians, where he proclaimed Christians to be among the most persecuted people in the world. While there are parts of the world where the persecution of religious minorities, including Christians, is a real problem, the United States is not one of them. Russia, on the other hand, has e…

From “It’s Just Words” to Just Words: Speech Ethics in the Time of Trump

By Brad R. Braxton

As a Christian pastor and professor, I make my living with words. When Donald Trump dismisses his own violent and regressive speech with the slogan “it’s just words,” as he did during last night’s depressing civic spectacle, my own concern about the deterioration of our public conversation deepens. This week’s revelations of Trump’s self-described “locker-room talk” (in fact, a conversation conducted in his workplace) come after months of mean-sp…

VIDEO: “First-Generation, Indian-American Muslim Kid” Makes Fun of the President. Onstage.

By Sunnivie Brydum

In hosting the annual White House Correspondents’ Dinner for the first time Saturday, The Daily Show‘s “first-generation, Indian-American Muslim kid,” Hasan Minhaj, was in rare form, subjecting the D.C. press corps and the absent Trump administration to the biting, funny-because-its-true humor laced with socio-political critique that’s made him a standout senior correspondent on The Daily Show. The full 25-minute speech is worth watching (see vid…

The Revolutionary Spirituality of ‘Hamilton’

By Leah Pannell

Last month, the Broadway cast of Hamilton dazzled with a live Grammy performance, and last week they made it to the White House. Hamilton is a game changer, but not just for theater—I believe that the show has something to teach the church. Let me start by saying, I’m a musical theater baby. I did not always connect with the things I was “supposed to” as a black girl, but I always found a home in the world of musicals. And Hamilton has gripped me…

Unfair Treatment of Women Clergy in the PCUSA and Presbyterian Korean Community

By Gloria Chough

I may leave the Presbyterian Church (PCUSA) in the future. Whether I do or not, I believe that my story—the story of many Korean clergywomen within the PCUSA—must be told. Just as African Americans, other ethnic minorities and white women have struggled to find their place within our denomination during some of the most racist and sexist periods in our history, so now are the women of the Presbyterian Korean community. I arrived in America in 199…

The New God-Fearers (FKA “The Nones”) and Where to Find Them

By Carlos Wilton

You can read about them in a steady stream of reports heralding the demise of 21st-century American Christianity: the growing population of “Nones” who are no longer filling church pews. The label, of course, comes from that dangling multiple-choice item on questionnaires asking about religious affiliation: “None of the above.” “The Nones” is an unfortunate term, easily confused with “the nuns.” You can’t use it in conversation without spelling i…
