…u’ve talked several times, here today and in the Counterscript speech that kicked off this whole project, about that kind of partisan wrangling, those arguments we carry on with one another. What role does partisan engagement have for Christians? Walter: We are inevitably strong advocates for what we think is right. What I’ve said in several places is that it is foolish for liberal Christians and conservative Christians to spend all of their energ…

Does War Make Sense? Science and Religion on the Battlefield

…7th century. Newton’s promise to describe the universe as a calculable clockwork seduced military thinkers as much it did astronomers. His mechanics not only offered equations for the course of a cannonball, it provided the vision for an ideal battlefield. By this logic, as Bousquet explains, the more that soldiers could be trained to operate like gears of a mechanism, the smoother their deadly work could run. The Prussian army’s 1726 manual divid…

“I ‘Came Out’ For Marriage Equality”: An Anti-Gay Activist Changes His Mind

…d talking about how a ban on same-sex marriage affected them in a negative way, it kind of came across to me as: they’re specifically trying to make you feel bad, in order to turn [you] against your convictions, in order to support their cause. So I was directly turned off by that.   But then when I went out on the summer tour and I saw people face to face—it wasn’t right away, but after several stops—these people… basically, it started to set in,…

QAnon Didn’t Just Spring Forth From the Void — It’s the Latest From a Familiar Movement

…, Abusing Religion. And I felt like contraceptive nationalism as a framework makes a lot of sense in this context too. I wonder if you could briefly describe what that means. When we’re talking about contraceptive nationalism, we’re talking about a narrative strategy. It’s about stories that try to protect the American body politic, the “us” as a country, the idea of America as a cohesive unit that has specific relationships to things like bodies…

Meeting on the Bridge: Fr. James Martin’s Ministry to LGBT Catholics Becomes a Book

…to LGBT Catholics. Can you talk about how that came about and what that looks like—because with this book coming out, that might become less informal? James Martin: It’s similar to the kinds of ministries that other Jesuits, priests, members of religious orders and lay pastoral associates have in parishes. For example, some people who come to me for spiritual direction might be LGBT. Some people who seek me out after Mass, or on a retreat, or afte…

God Will Not Make You Straight: An Interview with GCN’s Justin Lee

…reaking experience because I saw a lot of things I hoped I wouldn’t see, like kids being pushed to be there by their parents. Then Alan called me and said he wanted to come to the GCN conference—which is tricky because we have members who are survivors of ex-gay ministries who have experienced a lot of trauma. Seeing Alan at our conference would be a very big deal for some folks in a good way and in a harmful way for others. I had worked out what…

No Longer At Sea: Kate Bornstein Talks Scientology

…her reason for me to leave other than being a Suppressive Person. I wasn’t kicked out. I was offered a choice between leaving and spending a couple of years incarcerated on a ship as punishment. I said no, and I left. You refer in the book to some tenets and practices of Scientology, like silent birthing rites, that you still find useful or insightful. Could you say more about that? I don’t really buy into what they call “engrams”—that is, the ide…

Citing ‘Matthew 25’ Isn’t a Viable Democratic Faith Outreach Strategy

…ngry and you fed me? I was a stranger and you welcomed me?’” Matthew 25! Tikkun olam! Walk humbly with God! Jim Wallis! Jimmy Carter! It’s like a game sometimes to see how many touchstones can be shoe-horned into one article on religious liberals. I swear some journalists think we lay down at night listening to Jim Wallis’ latest audiobook after setting our Mao caps down carefully next to our Jimmy Carter icons and reciting Matthew 25 a few times….

From Organized Religion to Organizing Religion: Brian D. McLaren Wants Christians to Be Better

…sense of responsibility for shaping a different future been affected by Nick Kristof’s tip of the hat? Brian McLaren: I’ve been a big fan of Nick’s work for a long time, so I was thrilled that he read and enjoyed the book. It was also encouraging to receive some commendation from Malcolm Gladwell recently. How much this will translate into momentum for the movement that we need remains to be seen. A lot of that, in the end, is up to us in creative…

Raising Children the Right Way

…ysically hurt the child: For this reason, parents should not dread or shrink back from confrontations with their children. These occasions should be anticipated as important events, because they provide the opportunity to convey verbal and nonverbal messages to the boy or girl that cannot be expressed at other times. To bring a toddler to tears by hitting them on the legs with a wooden switch or squeezing their trapezius muscle gives parents to an…
