“I Had No Intention to Write Atheistically”: Darwin, God, and the 2500-Year History of the Debate

By Edward J. Larson

…ne. Humans should be mature enough to develop and maintain our own ethical code informed by scientific knowledge of its consequences, he argues, rather than rely on an ancient moral code inscribed in scriptural texts of human origin composed in a different era for reasons that no longer apply. Dawkins finally brings the story to where Rev. Adam Sedgwick feared that it would end 150 years ago when he read this pre-publication copy of Origin of Spec…

By Daniel Schultz

…against the evils of the time, including racism in the United States, the Vietnam War, apartheid, and the brutal military regimes in South America. Graham was also aware that the future of the Christian faith was no longer in America. In the 1970s, the gravity center of Christianity began shifting from the Northern Hemisphere to the South with the explosion of Pentecostalism in Latin America and Africa.

Every Republican Candidate Should Have to Address Gay Rights Face-to-Face

By Joanna Brooks

…e nation, from Alaska and Hawaii to Maine. But after watching the video of Vietnam veteran Bob Garon (who is gay and married) having a direct conversation with Romney about gay rights in a New Hampshire diner, I want to see every single Republican candidate sit down with Garon and answer his question face-to-face: “You do not feel that everyone is entitled to their Constitutional rights?” Because then every candidate, from hardcore social conserva…

Taking the Economy Back From the Elites: Blessed Are the Organized

By Nathan Schneider

…sly much weaker. The civil rights movement ended. The struggle against the Vietnam War ran aground. But, meanwhile, there has been a remarkable growth in grassroots citizens’ organizations. Nearly all of that growth has been under the media radar, but it has been truly significant. And many important victories have been won. Community organizing, which was focused on organizing particular neighborhoods, has given way to what Cortes calls “broad-ba…

Hatfield, Early Republican Critic of Religious Right,
Dead at 89

By Sarah Posner

…es that also put him at odds with Democrats, notably his opposition to the Vietnam war. At the end of the piece, citing an interview Hatfield did with Sojourners magazine in 1996, the piece notes he found the religious right an “embarrassment” to his party, as well as his concern about its influence on Christianity, rather than politics. In fact, Hatfield was prescient several decades earlier about the impact of the religious right. In the forewar…

What’s Eating Mitt Romney?

By Joanna Brooks

…Romney’s 1967 statement that he had been “brainwashed” into supporting the Vietnam War, a statement that all but destroyed his campaign for the Republican 1968 nomination. What the younger Romney learned from his father’s mistakes, according to Swidey, was a profound sense of caution. During the 2008 campaign, Peggy Fletcher Stack, an award-winning religion reporter for the Salt Lake Tribune, interviewed members of the Mormon congregations (or “…

Pricking the Conscience of Churches: From AIDS Activism to Ending World Hunger

By Susan Henking

…University. I became engaged in the struggle for civil rights and the anti-Vietnam movement. Suddenly at the age of 30, I was elected president of Dakota Wesleyan University and found myself engaged in academic administration. A decade later, at the age of 40, I became president of the Iliff School of Theology in Denver, Colorado. Since the emergence of HIV and AIDS thirty years ago, I have felt compelled to be involved in addressing the pandemic….

New Vatican Document Good News for Poor, Bad News for Tea Party

By Daniel C. Maguire

…e the blood sweat and tears of the poor are on our clothes made in slave shops, and on our iPhones where thousands of Chinese in Shenzhen assemble them working eleven hour days for 83 cents an hour under brutal conditions. The wages are even lower in Vietnam, Cambodia and elsewhere. This Vatican document is a gem of moral reasoning. It is hard-nosed justice theory applied to real life. A final suggestion: along with the moratorium on sex talk, the…

The Revolujah! Will Be Performed: Reverend Billy’s Reality Joke

By Nathan Schneider

…g. I think he, like many American activists, is invested in a sort of self-promoting iconoclasm in order to bring about greater equality. Like many American preachers, he invents a new consensus in his speech in order to develop the broadest base. And, like many in the avant-garde, he suggests his personal preferences are specific indictments of presumptive American norms. However, I think (like many love-children) he doesn’t and won’t equal the a…

Mitt Romney’s Honesty Problem

By Joanna Brooks

…television interviewer why he’d changed his position on US involvement in Vietnam, George Romney calmly and confidently explained that he realized he’d been “brainwashed” on the war by American generals and that a subsequent study of regional history led him to believe that US intervention was not necessary. “I did change my mind,” George Romney said. That was some straight shooting, and George Romney paid for it. Mitt Romney prefers a different…
