…. Anthony List, which claims to be the religious right’s answer to Emily’s List, the political group that raises money for and supports pro-choice candidates. The Susan B.

To Be Christian, Intellectual and Black: A Response to Vincent Lloyd

…he names of Eboni Marshall Turman, Emilie Townes and Teresa Fry Brown in a list of those participating in the black theological academy is a noticeable omission.

New Mag Provides a Platform for Christians of Color

…able to participate in the editorial meeting, someone followed up with the list [of interviewees]. They were all white, and I found that strange. I brought it up, and we were able to add a bit more diversity to the list, but just little things like that. A lot of outlets focus on celebrity Christianity, and that seems to be what drives a lot of the coverage. So in the beginning, I fell into pursuing the stories that people seemed to respond to the…

…olls. After she endorsed Owens yesterday, the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List promply used Scozzfava as Exhibit A for the further marginalization of moderate Republicans. “When a GOP candidacy is not based on fundamental conservative values, the party and the principles are inevitably betrayed and critical moments . . . .

…religion” in the Left Behind movies) was stepping up to critique the pluralistic spirituality promoted by Beck. In Howse’s view, the not-so-fictional Left Behind novels are being played out before our eyes.

“Do Not Be A Stupid Idiot!”: Religion and Resentment

…uld be easy to assume that these people are resentful because of this long list of outrages they feel they’ve suffered, but the truth is perhaps the other way around. They have compiled the list because they feel resentment. And what do they resent? I think it’s the loss of a social pecking order. We are approaching a point in both demographics and culture where no one group can set social norms. It seems likely that Harvey’s brand of the politics…

The Seven Deadly Sins, New and Improved

…All in all, few American news sites carried comprehensive features on the list as did the BBC, the Times Online, and the Sydney Morning Herald, to name a few. Okay, the Vatican condemning sinful behavior is not a news flash, but the frame it provides—specifically, engaging the contemporary world in a collective reconsideration of systemic and personal sin—is noteworthy.

The ‘Scandal’ of Obama’s Empty Pew

…h and state that Obama should be praised for observing. Other items on the list are no surprise: Obama skipping the right-wing sponsored “National Day of Prayer” but having the audacity to actually speak to gay and lesbian rights groups and promise to move their issues along during his presidency, or Obama’s continuing commitment to abortion rights. The one on the list that puzzled me the most was this one: In the midst of the worst economic downt…
