…ulness. If anything, HBR is behind the times. Mindfulness practices have become common in the business world where they’re thought to improve performance. Advocates have pushed this kind of mental training for schools and prisons as well. They frame mindfulness in terms of self-improvement, often with specific strategic goals in mind. “When you secularize a practice, you open it up to new groups of people.

By Aly Marino

…ion from a faith that frowned on gays and lesbians to one becoming more welcoming and compassionate.” Of course they may have pulled the trigger on that article a bit too soon as the Church would, just days later, “sen[d] seismic waves through the Mormon community,” with its new policy barring the children of married gay parents from membership or baptism. In a speech now scrubbed from an official LDS website, Elder D. Todd Christofferson called s…

Contrary to Popular Narrative the Supreme Court’s ‘303’ Decision Gutting Civil Rights Laws is not About an Individual Standing Up For Her Beliefs

By Andrew L. Seidel

…s, creditors, and obligations. Forming a corporate entity, such as an LLC, comes with immense benefits. But also some strings, especially once it opens itself up as a place of public accommodation. Businesses must follow health regulations and environmental rules. And obey other regulations that keep consumers safe, including civil rights laws. Until now. The court just upended that system. You’re unlikely to hear about LLCs and corporations and t…

Packed with Threats of Political Violence, Media Largely Ignore the NAR’s ‘Million Women’ Rally in DC

By Frederick Clarkson

…what four days of carefully choreographed sermons and violent imagery had come to with only weeks to go before the presidential election. A political paradox Image: YouTube/UPPERROOM The politics of the NAR are paradoxical. They assert that we’re living in a biblically prophesied End Times, in which The Church as they understand it, and God’s angels, join forces to battle the demonic forces of Satan. They suggest the battle is nigh and that peopl…

The Desire to Annihilate Gaza Wasn’t Born on 10/7 — It’s Part of a Long Tradition that Includes 19th Century Travel Writing

…rse compared them. A Jerusalem street in 1900. Image: rarehistoricalphotos.com Though espousing a secular worldview, Twain paradoxically presented Palestinians as morally and spiritually corrupt, and therefore dispensable. The holy city of Jerusalem—symptomatic of the rest of multifaith Palestine—he imagined as “mournful, and dreary, and lifeless.” While partly directed at the American Protestant pilgrims in his company, his irreverent satire main…

Netanyahu’s Genocidal Religious Rhetoric isn’t Just an Appeal to the Israeli Right — He Has Another Constituency in Mind

By Brock Bahler

…the main characters, as virtuous, as saviors. A colonialist interpretation compels us to align ourselves with Moses, Daniel, Jesus, the Good Samaritan. Consequently, many aren’t trained to read the Bible from the margins, to see themselves in Hagar, the countless unnamed women, the man left for dead on the road to Jericho, or Simon the Cyrene. This is ironic, for much of the Bible is written from the perspective of those on the underside of empire…

Polygamists, polyamorists, pedophiles, and others will be next in line to claim equal protection. They already are. There will be no le…

Israel-Hamas is Not a Religious War and This is Not Your Rapture

By Thomas Lecaque

…for violence in the same way calling a group the Amalekites is a call for violence in the same way that saying it’s a religious war is a call for violence in the same way that championing the imminent arrival of the Rapture is a cheer of support for that violence. All of this rhetoric comes from the comfort and safety of great distances, across the seas. The violence, the brutality—that’s happening in the real world, to real people. But the forces…

Why Don’t White People Show Up For Juneteenth The Way They Showed Up For George Floyd?

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…avery that reside at the center of the Juneteenth holiday. One of the most comical aspects to what I have come to call the ‘Juneteenth conundrum’ is who is greeted by whom? In 2021, while at a summer solstice festival that happened to coincide with Juneteenth I recall with sheer amusement as two well-meaning, culturally sensitive White women approached tepidly to ask if they could wish me and my companions (all Black) a “Happy Juneteenth.” Our col…
