By Seth Sanders

…recognized we’re not adversaries.” It hasn’t happened yet, but a promising sign is that their proposal was supported by a range of members—including some who’d signed both letters of protest against the SBL. However, if the divide continues, the larger cost may ironically be paid by the anti-SBL scholars’ own students, some of whom have already shared their fear of expressing their own political and moral views. But there’s a difference with Middl…

By H.A. Hellyer

…retary General of the Arab League). The Mufti of Egypt declared he would resign if a single protestor were harmed; but there was no sign today at Tahrir Square that any real violence would occur.

Statement on NAR & Christian Nationalism Answers Few Questions But Exposes Growing Rifts in the Movement

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…growing rifts in the NAR. It’s surprising that Apostle Steven Strang would sign (or that he would even be allowed to sign) the statement when his Charisma Media company sponsors the demagogic ReAwaken America Tour led by Michael Flynn. One might reasonably suspect that Apostles Ché Ahn, Dutch Sheets and Prophet Lance Wallnau did not sign on, since they’ve been prominent in the Trump campaign, the Jan. 5th rally, the Jericho March, and Stop the Ste…

The Tea Party, the Blind Man, and the Elephant: Part 1

By Julie Ingersoll

…long ago when road construction made the place entirely inaccessible, the sign told a councilman that if he could find access to the shop he could have a free sub. Now the place hosts (and I mean hosts: free wings and sausage and their locally-famous sweet tea) a monthly tea party meeting.

…on the First Amendment freedoms of teachers, staff or students unless they sign a waiver.” What? One can’t sign away one’s First Amendment rights.

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…nd conferences later, the Charter was unveiled in November 2009. Those who sign on can do several things: they can sign the Charter (over 30,000 have so far); they can create an event related to the Charter in their hometown; and they can share a story on the site. Backed by luminaries like Archbishop Desmond Tutu and Tariq Ramadan, and lesser known but equally effective workers like Tho Ha Vinh of the International Red Cross, the Charter certainl…

Manhattan Declaration Is The New Old Culture War

By Sarah Posner

…people have signed the Manhattan Declaration.) As evidenced by many of its signatories, who claimed to sign on behalf of themselves but not their organizations, the Manhattan Declaration is representative of the thinking of the Catholic Church and mainstream evangelicalism. Ron Sider, president of Evangelicals for Social Action, and once touted as a representative of that “broader agenda” that includes issues beyond the culture wars, announced his…

The Christian Roots of the New Age: The Aquarian Gospel

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…bolized by the fish, as was the early Church itself, is a preeminent water sign; the past two thousand years, she noted, had been dominated by water and the connectivity that oceans provide. Among the papers Levi Dowling left at his death was one explaining his conviction that the Earth and our Sun were entering the Dispensation of Aquarius, a literal New Age. Aquarius is an air sign, he noted, and the triumphs of the twentieth century were destin…

Hamburg Shooter’s Manifesto Reveals the Complexity of the Influence of Far-Right Ideologies

By Annika Brockschmidt

…“great replacement” and “White genocide” rhetoric should not be seen as a sign that this manifesto is somehow less nefarious in its violent fantasies than others, but rather as a sign that violent far-right actors often subscribe to a mixture of ideologies and narratives that don’t necessarily require coherence: “While some far-right mass shooters subscribe to explicitly White nationalist views on racial supremacy and conspiracy theories concerni…

…nt by former LDS bishop Kevin Kloosterman, marched as “Mormon Allies” with signs reading “God is Love,” “Love thy Neighbor,” and “All are Alike Unto God.” Marcher Mayra Diaz, who carried a sign that declared her support for marriage equality, expressed amazement at the “thank yous” the Mormon Allies received from the crowd. “I was so moved by them thanking us,” Diaz said, “when we had made such mistakes and rejections. They taught us a great lesso…
