The ‘Dreher Affair’ Highlights the Right’s International Networks

…re a powerful force, even if they rarely make the headlines. According to a 2021 report from the European Forum for Sexual and Reproductive Rights (EPF), their pockets are deep. From 2009 until 2018, $702.2 million was spent on “anti-gender” mobilization, $81.3 million from the US alone to combat abortion rights. These networks are complicated by design, as Anne Nelson, the author of Shadow Network: Media, Money, and the Secret Hub of the Radical…

Where’s Wallnau? A NAR Apostle Takes Aim at Swing Counties in ‘The Battle for the Mountain of Government’

…parently, the lists of the fateful 19 counties have diverged as they’ve evolved. In any case, the criteria are that they’re suburban swing counties with a population of 400,000 or more, and where the margin to win the state is less than 2%. In Arizona, Maricopa County, which includes the city of Phoenix, is the target. Hayek says “We [meaning the Trump campaign] lost the state of Arizona by 10,000 votes in 2020. Think about it.” Georgia, Nevada, P…

It’s the Theology, Stupid: Why the Shocking SBC Report is Anything But Surprising

…resolutions” about so-called “secular” issues (as I noted above), the SBC’s 2021 resolution “On Abuse and Pastoral Qualifications” is remarkably short. Thanks for looping in white men of “good character,” those who can separate themselves from “evil” one way or another, through their own testimony or that of others speaking on their behalf. When I was reading Russell Moore’s response to the Guidepost report in CT, I was struck by the headline, “Th…

Among the NAR apostles who called on their millions of followers to reject the results of the 2020 election are Lance Wallnau, Dutch Sheets, and Cindy Jacobs. Paula White—a popular televangelist, spiritual…

Critical Race Theory is Just the Latest Battle — ‘The Bible Told Them So: How Southern Evangelicals Fought to Preserve White Supremacy’

…crumbled beneath the weight of the courts and the sheer will of those involved in the freedom struggle, segregationist Christians softened their language. But they didn’t change their tune. “My soul and my attitude may not have changed, but my public statements did,” former SBC president Rev. W. A. Criswell would later recall. According to Hawkins, many Southern white Christians knew by the late 1960s that integration would become the law of the…

With the End of ‘Roe’ the Verdict is in: The Supreme Court Majority is Christian Nationalist

…edure and long standing judicial principle, the court jumped in on April 9, 2021 with a midnight ruling. Just six days (five, really, given how late the decision dropped) before the rule change, the court rushed to decide a case it didn’t need to decide. The five crusading justices (and yes, I use the word “crusading” intentionally) rewrote the First Amendment using the shadow docket and an opinion that was only nine paragraphs long. Steven Vladec…

The Evangelical Abortion Myth: An Excerpt from ‘Bad Faith’

…invoke the moniker “new abolitionists” in an apparent effort to ally themselves with their antebellum evangelical predecessors who sought to eradicate the scourge of slavery. The rhetoric about abortion being the catalyst for the rise of the Religious Right, however, collapses under scrutiny. Evangelicals considered abortion a “Catholic issue” until the late 1970s. In 1968, the flagship evangelical magazine Christianity Today convened a conference…

A New Book Argues That This ‘Divine Institution’ is the Key to Understanding White Evangelical Culture

…at can appear apolitical to evangelicals. But when evangelicals find themselves questioning the goodness of the patriarchal family—when they want to include gay families in their church, or empower women to challenge male dominance—they quickly find themselves on the outside looking in. Evangelicalism is shrinking and aging. Young former evangelicals frequently cite the politicization of the church as a primary reason for their departure. This exo…

Latest Diatribe on Francis and Latin Mass in the Times Launders the History — and Troubling Elements — of the ‘Tradition’

…t Reformation—about the same time seating was introduced to churches themselves. The architecture of Catholic churches built before modernity emphasized this distinction, with rings of sacred space radiating outward from the altar. Only churchmen would be allowed in the choir, which would be separated from the rest of the building by some sort of screen. If anything, the removal of the screens and turning of the priest to face the congregation all…
