I Met God, She’s Black: An Exhibit Makes the Black Female Body a Temple

By Anita Little

…rlMagic and #CarefreeBlackGirl? I think it’s just timing in some ways. The best way to talk about it is in terms of the reception we held. The reception was on July 7th—just after two very tragic killings of black men and subsequent killings of police officers. When the reception happened that same week, more than 1500 people showed up and that was really phenomenal. People were looking for a space to heal. When some of them came into this environ…

The Best-Laid Plans of Mice and Humans

By Amina Wadud

…intentions, and take up ihram at some point before I arrive in Jeddah. The best times are supposed to be immediately after one of the five prayers. As it stands, in order to clear security, I leave my house for the airport in San Francisco before the time for fajr prayer is even started. This also disrupts my plans for how to get to the airport. I don’t want to leave my car there for 3 weeks. I had planned to take my bags on Saturday and leave the…

Mitt Romney’s Best-Known Mormon Critic Tells it All. One Last Time.

By Joanna Brooks

…bout,” and I told him that I had at least wanted to try, and I gave him my best wishes. But I realized that I could not work for him. I think these stories are consistent with what we’ve seen of Romney so far in the campaign: deeply pragmatic, by the book, to the point of being abrupt, dismissive of other points of view, and petulant when pushed or questioned. I felt too that people should understand that he was ambivalent about being pro-choice….

Morehouse Men in their Sunday Best

By Jonathan L. Walton

…ess for critical aptitude. Having spent almost a decade around some of the best minds in the Ivy League, I know first hand that few could be accused of sartorial splendor or linguistic temperance. And while there are some who may argue that black men are judged by a different standard, this does not mean that we should institutionalize flawed cultural logic. The goal of higher learning is to promote intellectual flourishing and creativity, not pro…

Oscar Gets Religion: 7 Categories We’d Like to See

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…aditions are always in process of being remade, remixed, and shuffled. Best Creation of Mythology: Epic – Wild and wooly characters, human and not, bound together in the battle of chaos and cosmos, through the congruence of worlds. Best Sense of the Sacred in the Everyday: Enough Said – This film just felt “real,” as if its world was not, in fact, all that separate from the viewers’ world. The magic of the mundane. Best Ethical Compunc…

The Best the Largest Progressive Jewish Org Could Come Up With?

By Jay Michaelson

…ork, and they have the potential to do even more. I have no doubt that many consultants and stakeholders wrestled with all the issues I’ve spotted here, and many more, and that this reflects their sincere best efforts to balance multiple constituencies and interests, many of which are at odds with one another. It’s just too bad that, to me at least, what they came up with reflects that….

Perry Gives Huntsman Best Week of His Campaign

By Joanna Brooks

…right, everyone: Rick Perry’s anti-science ramblings gave Jon Huntsman the best week of his campaign. But perhaps an even bigger accomplishment by Perry was reorganizing reality in such a way as to make Mormons—reputed to be the most politically conservative religious groups in the U.S.—appear moderate. In fact, Perry has the two climate-changing-believing Mormons in the GOP presidential hopeful pool looking like downright liberals. And Perry hims…

Abstinence-Centered Sex Education Works Best Without God

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…bstinence only education—the primacy of waiting until marriage. Nor did it promote a “virginity pledge” through which teens are asked to pledge to God and each other to remain celibate until their wedding night. In short, when religious trappings, and moralizing lectures are laid aside and young people are encouraged to think through the consequences of having sex (mainly unprotected sex), and are given the tools on how to have safe sex when they…

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

By Laurie Patton

…, they are calling us to lay aside the egotism that holds us back from our best selves and from the divine. This is certainly true of the doctrines of Trinity and Incarnation, for example. They also insist that the best way of achieving this is by compassion, in which, “all day and every day” we have to dethrone ourselves from the centre of our world and put another there. The doctrines and mythos of religion only make sense if we put them into pr…

Will the Pandemic Hasten the Decline of Christianity or is it ‘America’s Best Hope for a Religious Revival’?

By Chrissy Stroop

…sociopathic question, “Could a plague of biblical proportions be America’s best hope for religious revival?” Meanwhile, in Christianity Today David Roach is celebrating a supposed uptick in conversions achieved by evangelistic organizations that have built web resources for the purpose of deliberately playing on people’s fears of coronavirus as a means of bringing them to Jesus. Extremist organizations are also exploiting the pandemic to recruit f…
