Atheist Nazis? The Pope’s Cheap Atonement

By Susannah Heschel

Adam Clayton Powell called it “cheap grace,” but we might call it “cheap atonement”: the effort by sinners to select which sins to acknowledge and repent. Pope Benedict XVI ended his heavily protested visit to England with a heartfelt apology for German bombings of England during the Battle of Britain; though he refused to accept Christian responsibility for the Holocaust, blaming it instead on pagans and atheists. Given that Cardinal Walter Kasp…

Colorado Springs Massacre Captures the Christian Nationalist ‘Monster In The Mirror’

By Lucas Kwong

…n version of the terror-triumph complex. There’s one other detail from the Colorado Springs tragedy that illustrates, with disturbing clarity, Monster In The Mirror’s central thesis. As a homophobe and transphobe steeped in Christian (specifically Mormon) theology, the killer likely operated on the conviction that LGBTQ+ people menace the nuclear family—and, perhaps, White mothers and wives most of all. But as illustrated by his own violent relati…

By Lara Riscol

…e in. Four years after PPRM’s new headquarters and health center opened in Denver, contractors who built it are still picketed at their homes on holidays (including by the Masons, Kekoas, Enyart, and other Colorado for Life affiliates). One pro-life website links, under the heading of “blood workers,” to photographs of the contractors, as well as PPRM staff and security. So far in 2012 PPRM averages 19 incident reports per month, according to Moni…

…voters in Southern states; still, Romney still faces real opposition from Colorado evangelicals, including Colorado-born Bryan Fischer and the Colorado Springs-based Focus on the Family. Will Romney have to expend extra resources to bring Colorado evangelicals to the polls? And will a statewide ballot initiative on the legalization of marijuana bring younger voters (including younger Colorado evangelicals who some see as potential Democratic vote…

…igh Washington to serve as president.” A few years after its founding, the Denver, Colorado-based Promise Keepers experienced an extraordinary growth spurt, drawing tens of thousands of men to rallies in football stadiums and sports arenas across the country. As attendance at its rallies grew—278,000 in 1994, 738,000 in 1995 and more than a million in 1996—so did its revenues. In 1997, more than one million men gathered on the National Mall in Was…

Glenn Beck’s Cheap Grace

By Karyn Carlo

…way from the hard work of repentance, who tickle our ears with promises of cheap grace, and offer a vision of the cross of Jesus that has nothing to say to the crosses, and lynching trees, of history. But, if we do, we will be settling for the gospel of Caesar, not the good news of Jesus Christ. Perhaps it is time to put down the chalk, stop drawing pyrotechnical conspiracy theories that play into our worst fears and listen, instead, for the diffi…

Science Mike Building a “Christian Science” Liturgy for the Nones

By D. Ashley Campbell

…re-configuration of religious practice in a digital society, why can’t a podcast be a church? The Liturgists produce “liturgies,” albums of musical meditation and prayer. The Liturgists podcast can function as the sermon, offering insights on suffering, art, and the Christian celebrity. Like much else in the postmodern religious landscape, though, this is hard to define. “It’s so cliché. We don’t label ourselves, man,” McHargue says, laughing. “We…

White Supremacy and Orthodox Christianity: A Dangerous Connection Rears Its Head in Charlottesville

By Katherine Kelaidis

…lightly more earnest. This makes sense as we both come from the suburbs of Denver, Colorado. In fact, Tim became Orthodox at the Assumption of the Theotokos Greek Orthodox Cathedral in Glendale, Colorado. That’s the church my family has attended since my grandparents arrived in Denver in 1959. And while Tim and I never knew each other, we knew a lot of the same people at“the Cathedral.” Tim told me that he came of age in the “anti-racist skinhead…
