It was only recently, when a former student died in a tragic accident, that I realized how removed death has been from my experience. He was the son of friends; his mother is the head of my children’s school. The death of a young person, especially one with exceptional promise, would be a tragedy on any day.

By Chrissy Stroop

…to each other—it just means that they’re all, together, advancing an ultra-right-wing agenda. So you have Gloo, you have i360, which is a Koch platform as well, with voter data. And a lot of this is used in 2016, a lot of it’s being used now under various names. But the CNP has a larger agenda, which is to change the Constitution of the United States.

The appeal to mobilization vis-à-vis jihad, however few heed its call, cannot be understood outside this sense of disenchantment with the status quo and its champions.

A ‘do…

By Hebah H. Farrag

…was the only mainstream type of Muslim there. I come from your usual mosque-going community, but everyone else stopped showing up.” A PRRI poll showed that 42 percent of Muslim Americans approve of same-sex marriage. To many younger American Muslims, the benefits of allying with other marginalized groups on issues such as LGBTQ inclusion and immigration reform seem clear. But institutional Islam has not kept up. Many Muslim American leaders, organ…

In Trump’s America, a Reminder of Our Prophetic Past

By Peter Laarman

…studies,” offers in this compact volume a rich group portrait of seven 20th-century freedom fighters rooted in the prophetic tradition. Most of the pieces are distilled from a popular course that Raboteau taught for years, but may it be said that such distillations are often valuable to have, especially coming from scholars who have done their work this well and deeply. Raboteau’s prose is spare and elegant, and the book will be instructive even f…

Don’t Call It “Prayer Shaming”: Our Moral Failure Exposed

By Willie Dwayne Francois

…ack, which appears dissimilar to ISIS-directed attacks in Europe. The most common form of ISIS-inspired terrorism to date is suicide bombing, not mass shootings. Farook and Malik exacted terror on American soil in a form of violence reminiscent of fatalities that occur almost daily in this country, enabled by a warped interpretation of the Second Amendment. Perhaps most offensive of all, these moments of national tragedy offer a window into the qu…

By Mary E. Hunt

…ctates of his professors. He is expected to swallow the theology they spoon-feed him even if it flies in the face of reason and experience—as much of official Catholic theology of sexuality does. He is rewarded for such behavior by the same clergy who decide whether he is “fit matter” for ordination. He is judged whether he is compliant enough to be part of the “collegium” into which he will be welcomed as a priest, that is, whether he is trustwor…

…standard,” pointing to his work “across faith lines,” with “women of faith networks,” and with “American Muslim communities.” Saperstein was a leader of the broad coalition that pushed for passage of the Religious Freedom Restoration Act in 1993, but, as RNS noted, Saperstein was critical of the way the Supreme Court majority interpreted RFRA in the Hobby Lobby case. And despite telling the Jewish Telegraphic Agency, “We believe deeply in RFRA and…

This Supreme Court is an Effect Not a Cause: The Hidden Century-Long Funding of the American Right

By Cavan Concannon and Jill Hicks-Keeton

…ntators fail to mention, perhaps even to see, what enabled them do it. Our new book on evangelicalism in the US emphasizes that institution-building over more than a century has created a vast and evolving network of institutions that spreads ideas, mobilizes energy, and amplifies political and theological messaging. Beginning in the late 19th century, wealthy and influential conservative Christians began building institutions that were designed t…

Ten Religion Stories That Went (Mostly) Missing in 2015

By Peter Laarman

…ether they raise many millions of dollars from the congregations (often low-income congregations) they get to join up. They also soak up millions in foundation grants. They have well-trained and well-paid staff who never stop talking about “building power.” They are good at telling the people in the pews about what they are accomplishing in their behalf. But what do they actually accomplish? What’s the scorecard say, given the size and reach of th…
