By Kaya Oakes

…ms for women. While Saint Benedict might have lived in a male-only and male-led community, there have been female Benedictine communities for centuries, and today’s best known Benedictine writer is probably the theologian Joan Chittister, who was formerly the prioress of her community, the Benedictine Sisters of Erie, PA. As a female religious leader, Chittister’s interpretation of the Rule of St. Benedict offers some interesting contrast to Drehe…

Meditation is Not Religion or Spirituality—It’s Technology

By Jay Michaelson

…whiz-bang, hype-filled books on neurodharma seemingly aimed at the business-book crowd. Rather than go for mass market on this one, I wanted to write the book I wanted to write, for my circle of serious-practitioner friends, intelligent skeptics, and pragmatic contemplatives—all of whom are either Gen-X or millennial, and none of whom have any patience for either of those sets of cliches. Are you hoping to inform readers? Entertain them? Piss th…

Is Liberalism Islamic?: An Interview with Mustafa Akyol

By Haroon Moghul

…sometimes have problems simply because of their “alienness,” and the unwelcoming-ness of their hosts, and these problems can appear as a friction between Islam and non-Islam. Whenever I speak about this, I note that the EU member country with the highest percentage of Muslims in its population is not the UK, France, or Germany but Bulgaria. Yet you never hear about Bulgaria’s “Muslim question,” for its Muslims are native Turks and Pomaks who have…

A Memoir of Jewish, Transgender Spirituality

By Joy Ladin

…nds. I am compiling a collection of essays, and am gestating proposals for two book projects that are close to my heart, one on how the Torah looks when read from a transgender perspective, and the other on the brand*]}*-new field of trans poetics, recently and spectacularly brought to American literary life by TC Tolbert’s and Trace Peterson’s new anthology Troubling the Line: Trans and Genderqueer Poetry and Poetics. …

Confession is Not Conversion: Giuliani’s Bizarre Comparison of Trump to St. Augustine

By Candace E. West

…he did in the first, but he was often incoherent, largely fact- and policy-free, and spent much of his time repeating exactly the same aggressive, racist, Islamophobic rhetoric that has made his campaign so successful. Clinton was not in peak form, though she actually spoke to the audience like they were people, speaking to questioners rather than at them. She also gave better answers, most of which were grounded predominantly in verifiable facts…

Catholic Church Bans Gay Film: This Week’s Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…issue of traditional, cultural or religious beliefs” by quoting former UN High Commission for Human Rights Navi Pillay: “People are entitled to their opinion. They are free to disapprove of same-sex relationships, for example … they have an absolute right to believe and follow in their own lives whatever religious teachings they choose. But that is as far as it goes. The balance between tradition and culture on the one hand and universal human ri…

The Ex-KKK Priest and the Subtle Terrorism of the Anti-Abortion Movement

By Patricia Miller

…at Aitcheson was arrested in Reno, New York Archbishop John O’Connor led a high-profile march on an abortion clinic in New York City. Previously he had expressed support for Operation Rescue, which would go on to lead a series of confrontational abortion clinic blockades in Kansas in the summer of 1991. It’s also instructive that about the time that Aitcheson was burning crosses in southern Maryland and plotting to bomb the NAACP, a Catholic anti-…

Scientology: All-American or Aging Hoax?

By Gordon Haber

…ies about Scientologists. There was the jaw-dropping (and unfortunately off-the-record) one about the flagrantly unethical executive. Or the one about the articulate grip who calmly explained the religion’s tenets at the craft services table. And then there’s the stylist who has so many run-ins with proselytizing Scientologists that she calls it “getting Sci-Tied.” What’s interesting is that all these experiences were related as momentarily disc…

A New Book Argues That This ‘Divine Institution’ is the Key to Understanding White Evangelical Culture

By Seth Dowland

…to anthropologist Sophie Bjork-James, who recounts this story in her sharp new book, The Divine Institution: White Evangelicalism’s Politics of the Family, the participants were uniformly white and well-off. But these self-described literalists immediately—almost instinctively—disregarded the literal meaning of this passage. Jesus wasn’t “condemning money or wealth,” the group agreed, just warning his followers not to put anything before their rel…

Vatican Accuses Nuns of “Open Provocation”

By Patricia Miller

…ad objected to as disproportionate and heavy-handed interference in its day-to-day affairs. Addressing the LCWR’s second contention that the charges of the assessment were unsubstantiated, Müller cited the organization’s invitation to futurist Barbara Max Hubbard to address its annual assembly on “conscious evolution,” a concept that he charged was permeating the publications of the LCWR and the directional statements of some orders. “The fundamen…
