By Mark Juergensmeyer

…ns that they might be associated with the Gulen network. Within weeks, the numbers had swelled to the tens of thousands. The vast network of Gulen-related schools was closed. All university professors, regardless of the institution in which they taught, were constrained from traveling outside the country. Every university dean in the country was arrested or suspended. Ordinary prisoners were set free in order to make more room in the jails for any…

Landmark OC Megachurch Declares Bankruptcy

By Joanna Brooks

…and its opulent Easter pageant (which once drew hundreds of thousands) was cancelled. Considering the fact that they still haven’t paid the lady who loaned them the camels for last year’s Christmas pageant, it’s safe to say that the Cathedral may cancel the 2010 Glory of Christmas production as well. Is it any wonder that some of the most progressive, sustainable developments in 21st-century Southern California religion are now happening without c…

…n should submit their vote to their husband, because to vote opposed would cancel each other’s vote out. Joyce informed me that Chancey also “spoke about her opposition to women’s voting in a film by the Gunn Brothers, winners of Vision Forum’s annual Christian film contest, The Monstrous Regiment of Women.” Vision Forum like other Christian Reconstructionist-oriented agencies teaches that women should not vote or hold public office. The Alabama P…

…prominent German conservatives have followed suit. Friedrich Merz called “Cancel Culture” the “greatest threat to freedom of expression,” tweeting: “I see with the greatest concern what is happening at universities in the US; this is now spilling over into #Europe.” Markus Söder, head of the CSU, railed against “wokeness,” claiming that the Greens want to “re-educate Germans,” while Carsten Linnemann and Christoph Ploß (both CDU) called “wokeness…

By Lauri Lebo

…xedo. To keep her from going with another girl, the school decided to just cancel the prom so that no one would get to go. McMillen filed a request for a preliminary injunction. At the hearing, school officials told the judge that a group of parents were sponsoring a private prom at the Tupelo Furniture Market, but that everyone was invited, including McMillen. After much back and forth about details of the event, McMillen finally received an invi…

Anti-LGBT Culture Warriors On The March; More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…e world’s Catholics were in Europe, but by the middle of this century that number will fall “to perhaps a sixth.” Geography is not destiny, but it is only natural that prelates from one part of the world will tend to speak for the traditions with which they are most familiar, which might well differ considerably from other regions. We saw early signs of this when the family synod was held in Rome in 2015, when the Church’s (mainly European) libera…

The Lament of the Christian Disney Dad: What Evangelicals Really Hate About ‘Wokeness’ at Disney World

By Josh Parks

…our dreams, no request is too extreme”), these villains—a disproportionate number of whom are women or nonhuman—don’t stand a chance. But good doesn’t only triumph against witches and monsters. Disney’s wish-upon-a-star worldview also means that guests can indulge in nostalgia for the past without wrestling with any of history’s ugliness. The Magic Kingdom’s Adventureland offers river cruises through 1950s Africa without any mention of colonialism…

Debate on the place of gays in the church would require time for a more softer, gradualist approach. But the issue is a double impediment for Francis — and one which he should have begun publicly to address. It is a mas…

What’s Wrong with Taming the Tongue? ‘Gossip’ and the Limits of Evangelical Abuse Prevention Efforts

By Chrissy Stroop

…uired to take abuse allegations seriously; discussing abuse allegations is cancel culture; false allegations are a common threat; and survivors must watch their tone in order to be taken seriously. It is irresponsible reporting to discuss those myths without counterpoints from experts in abuse prevention and survivor advocacy. Stollar also sees evangelicals’ misplaced priorities regarding appearances at play in their responses to abuse. “All too o…
