Reflections on an Ineffective Negro Leader

By Jonathan L. Walton

…nsistency. If Jim Crow was wrong when practiced by Bull Connor and Sheriff Clark in Selma, it was just as wrong in its de facto forms in Chicago and Cleveland.

What Good is a Morality That Doesn’t Encompass All Life on Earth?

By Clark Strand

…the basis of one question: Did it prepare us for this?” By now, a growing number of people have begun to realize what “this” refers to. In my case it was the predictions made in a small book of environmental writing I’d finished reading just the night before. The End of the Wild was the last book by MIT professor Stephen M. Meyer.

Presbyterians Again “Spahr” over Gay Marriage

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…sex marriage was legal in California.” Spahr’s defender in the case, Scott Clark, said the church is “trying to sanction a minister for performing legal marriages. This is unprecedented.” JoAn Blackstone, who is the prosecutor, said the distinction is immaterial. The marriages may well have been legal under state law, she said, but were “expressly prohibited” by the same ruling that acquitted Spahr in 2008. Blackstone said the case hinges on “a na…

Hood offers a slick mix of historical revisionism an…
