By Rosemary Ganley

…nnesburg but wasn’t allowed to preach herself in Catholic churches. “We in South Africa have learned that the response to an unjust law is to break it,” she says. Leaving her community, she moved to Germany, learned German, and was ordained bishop in a secret ceremony by a European bishop in good standing with Rome. The movement has expanded rapidly.

By Josh Parks

…to the 1619 Project, in hagiographies of twentieth-century missionaries to Africa and South America, and in nostalgia for the social norms of the 1950s.

…rces of Indian Tradition, that became standard for courses in Hinduism and South Asian Islam. He also helped to establish the South Asian Institute, an early model for the new research field of South Asian Studies throughout the Western world.

By Haroon Moghul

…two Assistant Directors are Indian and Indian-American, and the ethnically South Asian cast and background actors also provide insight during the creative process from which the production departments have benefited.

The energy of the cultural wars, then—in addition to many key political fights of the past decades—is drawn from the single most important original sin of the United States: slavery and racism. Abortion, for these folks, has little to do with the idea of natural…

Barber says, the South is still where we as a nation will decide who and what we are If we want America to prosper in the 21st century, and if we want to experience a rebirth of American democracy, progressives must heed Rev.

Occupy Francis Lewis Boulevard

…e of the two of us is stalking the other. For those of you who don’t know, South Asians are always made incredibly uncomfortable by other South Asians, meaning they are made anxious whenever they are in proximity to other South Asians, and the anxiety level spikes to cardiac proportions if those South Asians are of the opposite gender. Nobody knows why this is, but it is a convincing argument against evolution, because if we all have this mutual a…
