Be Prepared: Preachers’ Daughters, Episode Eight

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…that? I looked for resources in your area, and I found this group. It’s in San Luis Obispo County, CA, which I’m guessing you’re in, since you went to an event at a church in Oceano. I don’t know anything about them beyond what’s on their website, but their material looks good. Maybe think about giving them a call? And Caleb, it sounds like things were really bad when last night’s episode was filmed. I’m really sorry. I’m afraid I have had the “I…

It’s the Catholic Bishops, Not Those Who Toppled Junipero Serra Statues, Who Have Failed the Test of History

By Jacqueline M. Hidalgo

…ism and ethnic discrimination), toppling a statue of St. Junípero Serra in San Francisco’s Golden Gate Park. The next day, activists shouting, “this is for our ancestors,” pulled down another iconic Serra statue, this time in the heart of Los Angeles at Placita Olvera. The California Catholic Conference of Bishops (CCCB) responded with more empty support of anti-racist movements, yet they refuse to grapple with the ways that racism and colonial vi…

Coffeehouse Churches and the ‘Party-on Messiah’: How I Lost One Leper Messiah, and Gained Another, Part 3

By Mark Dery

…ight—not the mind-frying blotter acid cooked up by Captain Clearlight, the San Francisco LSD kingpin, but The Light of the World. Fundamentally white and middle-class in nature, it percolated out of the storefront missions and street outreaches of the urban counterculture—Ted and Elizabeth Wise’s Living Room coffeehouse in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury neighborhood, Arthur Blessitt’s His Place coffeehouse on the Sunset Strip, in Hollywood—into su…

Women’s Equality in the Church is No Longer Negotiable

By Mary E. Hunt

…ool handbook with anti-gay rhetoric have punctuated his unpopular stint in San Francisco. The smart money is on him being promoted and relocated, as happened with Boston’s Cardinal Bernard Law and other clerics who have contributed so actively to the rapid exodus of members from Catholic parishes. At some point, these sorts of executive employees become too expensive to maintain. It becomes cost effective to put a golden parachute on their mitres…

Expelled Ugandan Bishop Ministers to LGBT

By Richard A. Lindsay

…or his continued advocacy under a section of the law meant to prevent the “promotion” of homosexuality. Jay Johnson, an Episcopal priest and Director of Academic Research and Resources for the Center for Lesbian and Gay Studies in Religion and Ministry at Pacific School of Religion in Berkeley, explained: As mainline churches in the United States have become more accepting of LGBT people on issues like ordination and blessing of same-sex relations…

RDPulpit: Nature Worship: A Primer

By Rex Weyler

…, not beliefs. We witness this in the deeds of Gandhi, Rosa Parks, or Aung San Sui Kyi in Burma. “To behave like a merely decent human being,” writes the poet May Sarton, “one must think like a hero.” Humanity is now on the brink of ecological disaster from global warming, disappearing resources, and burgeoning population. We can change this pattern, but to do this, we must preserve the two elements of our world that sustain us: the natural enviro…

The People’s Temple, the Black Church, and the Tragic Legacy of Jonestown

By Anita Little

…It just creates a very sordid and unsavory picture. Also, it took place in San Francisco, a city that has always been mythicized as a white space. You had a white pastor, so many white bohemian liberal-to-radical members involved quite prominently and that becomes a big part of the ethos. That this is a “free love” church, that it was a new age-y kind of confab, when it’s really coming from the heart of Pentecostal, charismatic spirituality. Black…

Milk: Hollywood Does Gay History

By Matthew Silverstein

…ed to link together so that we can affect the total direction of the city [San Francisco]” toward more inclusive and therefore more authentic forms of democracy and social justice. The movement as portrayed in the film is predominantly white—which may have been a reflection of the demographics of the gay Castro in the 1970s; however, Milk’s awareness of the deep, wide roots of civil rights was clearly a more pronounced aspect of his vision than wa…

A Pale Glimpse of Moon

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…s were an American (Andrew Sean Greer, who spends his time equally between San Francisco and New York), and a far better-known Italian author (Margaret Mazzentini, who is married to a wonderfully gifted actor, Sergio Castellito, who read her first piece in tandem with her). The night could not have been more perfect for a festival dedicated to the Moon. The massive brick-faced antiquities were exquisitely illuminated in the twilight, and a pale sl…

‘Almost Like Praying’: The Religious Work of ‘Hamilton’ Creator Lin-Manuel Miranda

By Spencer Dew

…built on slavery but as a celebration of pluralism and the possibility of freedom, “Almost Like Praying” inverts the sounds associated with West Side Story’s portrayal of Puerto Ricans as street criminals and primitives. Swiping lines from “Maria,” not to sing about an exotic and untouchable female object of desire but about the inimitable and unconquerable Puerto Rican culture, Miranda also implicitly critiques another famous number from that mu…
