By Hollis Phelps

Be Prepared: Preachers’ Daughters, Episode Eight

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…that? I looked for resources in your area, and I found this group. It’s in San Luis Obispo County, CA, which I’m guessing you’re in, since you went to an event at a church in Oceano. I don’t know anything about them beyond what’s on their website, but their material looks good. Maybe think about giving them a call? And Caleb, it sounds like things were really bad when last night’s episode was filmed. I’m really sorry. I’m afraid I have had the “I…

Google-Phonics, Or, ‘What Is the Sound of a Thousand Tech Workers Meditating?’

By Kevin Healey

…ts cross-legged as the activists hold high a banner reading “Eviction-Free San Francisco.” “For me,” I had explained, “this image represents a distinction that Martin Luther King, Jr. made during the height of the civil rights movement: that between the negative peace of complacency within an unjust system, and the positive peace that arises from non-violent resistance to the status quo.” Readily acknowledging that I was “picking on Meng,” I lamen…

…ppointed” by it. RTE reports, “Late last year, the bishops distributed thousands of copies of a pastoral statement promoting the church’s teaching on marriage and opposing the State’s attempt to redefine it in the referendum.” Leo Varadkar, Ireland’s Minister for Health, came out on Sunday, connecting his action with the country’s upcoming referendum on marriage equality. From the Irish Times: “There’s a referendum on marriage equality coming up t…

Fact Check: Is the Evangelical Youth-Inspired Great ‘Awokening’ Just Around the Corner?

By Chrissy Stroop

…y “came out” as no longer evangelical. But it wasn’t until that moment, in San Francisco with my always “deep,” cooler-than-thou, “rebellious” cousin, that I was wholly disabused of the notion that young evangelicals were differentiating from their parents on social and political issues in any substantive way. Unfortunately, America’s major media outlets still haven’t gotten the memo. To be sure, anyone can cite anecdotes and claim to intuit a tre…

The People’s Temple, the Black Church, and the Tragic Legacy of Jonestown

By Anita Little

…n atheist, I question the Abrahamic traditions. Just because those are thousands of years old, just because they’ve been validated by scholars and religious leaders, that does not give them infallibility. Why has it been so easy for society to erase the memory of race with regard to the People’s Temple, to think of it as more or less a white movement? The truth of Jonestown has been lost because it’s been demonized to a certain extent. The impress…

Only 5 Million “Real” Catholics in the U.S.?

By Marian Ronan

…line in the sand.” I’ve been thinking lately about a Catholic line in the sand, but it’s not the one announced by Cardinal Dolan. For me, and, I suspect, for a lot of educated Catholics like me, the line in the sand is the “doctrinal assessment” issued in April by the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith against the Leadership Conference of Women Religious, the umbrella organization for 80% of US Catholic sisters. The assessment acc…

Act, Pray, Tweet: What the H*ll To Do About Gun Violence?

By Marcia Pally

…needy, stranger, and enemy. It calls murder a sin and crime, and provides sanctions (along with requirements for fairness and witness testimony in trials), just as it gives detailed instructions on aiding the downtrodden. Indeed, the idea that humanity only pray and wait for divine action would exempt us for any moral accountability for our communities. As long as I’m not the perp, such logic would go, I can fiddle—and pray—while San Bernadino bu…

A Portrait of Islamophobia?

By Mariam Durrani

…tured four photographs, three of the apartment previously belonging to the San Benardino shooters and one of the female shooter’s face. The largest image of the apartment includes a decorative wall-hanging with the 99 names of Allah woven in above a dining table strewn with random dining-table things like a wooden fruit bowl, a few artificial flowers, half a bottle of Sprite, and some phone chargers. The two smaller images feature the cluttered in…

A Third Reconstruction? Rev. William Barber Lifts the Trumpet

By Peter Laarman

…st attack in American history was the series of race riots that killed thousands of black people from Springfield to Tulsa to Wilmington in the late 1890s and early 1900s. Yes, San Bernadino was terrorism. So was Mother Emmanuel AME. So are the drone attacks on civilian homes in Afghanistan. So is the carpet-bombing of cities. We must not forget that the key leaders of Daesh met and developed their agenda in the U.S.-run prison at Camp Bucca in Ir…
