By Sarah Posner

…ill not receive reimbursement for those services? As the district court in Denver found in denying Little Sisters’ request for a preliminary injunction, the plaintiffs in the case “ignore the fact that, as participants in a church plan, they fall outside the [government’s] current enforcement authority.” The district court, in its ruling four days before the regulations went into effect, noted that “[p]laintiffs would have the court surmise that t…

Goodbye, (Mythic) Columbus

By Ira Chernus

Denver claims that its Columbus Day parade is the nation’s largest. It surely has been the most controversial; as Colorado’s large Native American rights movement often confronts the paraders. When I watched the proceedings a few years ago, though my sympathies were certainly with the protesters, I was surprised to find a different kind of sympathy for the paraders, too. They were all white folks, mostly Italian-Americans, riding in cars and on c…

As a “Cult Leader” Disgraced Pastor Mark Driscoll Does Not Rank

By Jesse James DeConto

…Porch in Minneapolis and Bolz-Weber’s House for All Sinners and Saints in Denver operate on communal meaning-making rather than top-down authority. In that limited sense, Mars Hill might have been more like a cult than an “emerging” church, but then, so did just about every religious community you’ve encountered—because after the Enlightenment, we’ve all been taught to ground our beliefs on something solid and indubitable, and religious teaching…

…s book met widespread opposition among evangelicals. “We’ll never know the number of LGBTQ Christian lives saved by this groundbreaking book,” comments Christian Feminism Today on its website. An earlier book, Women, Men, and the Bible, attracted widespread attention in 1977, giving hope to women raised in conservative denominations that required women’s submission to men.

…ames’ Gang”: “Word was brought to the Fifth Police Station to-night that a number of boys were using the Concord-street School-house for some unknown purpose, and a posse of officers was sent to investigate. The gang scattered at the approach of the police, and in their flight on drew a revolver and fired at Officer Rowan, without effect, however. William Nangle, age 14, and Sidney Duncan, age 12, were captured, but the other five or six escaped,…

Trump In Colorado: When the “Facts” Are No Longer Checkable

By Paul Harvey

…rather modestly sized (like his hands) basketball arena, he’ll move on to Denver, where the suburbs are friendly while the city area is hostile. News of Trump’s visit hit just as I got word that the Clinton campaign was pulling its commercials from the state. Polls suggest that Colorado is a fairly safe state for a fall Clinton victory, while money is desperately needed in key swing states of Pennsylvania and Ohio. This is part of a long-term tre…

By Peter Montgomery

…is one of the largest protestant denominations in Uganda and has a growing number of new converts in East Africa. In 2010, in the heat of the “Kill the Gays Bill” media frenzy, the Vice President of the Seventh-day Adventist African Conference vocally supported the law in Uganda while it still included death for those convicted of “homosexuality” (he later said in a classic non-apology apology that he had been misquoted).The Seventh-day Adventist…

…e rally-goers, and it also urged attendees to bring food donations for the Denver Rescue Mission. At the rally itself, there was no sustained talk about the spiritual or political effects of the global financial crisis, but there was a call to support something called the Hatikvah Project, which works to alleviate poverty among Messianic Jews in Israel (who, we were told, are poor because their families and nation reject them as apostates). Americ…

The Heart of Texas Ain’t Hateful: An Open Letter to Lawmakers From a Texan Trans Queer Latinx

By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…nary. Following seminary, I went on to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of Denver and now spend my time building bridges in faith communities as an openly trans queer Latinx. This bridging work across lines of difference not only feeds my soul, but it is part of my call and vocation as a theologian to reduce harm in our faith communities, which of course also impacts our civic communities. That call is deeply informed by my upbringing in the Lone…

Death With Dignity: Combatting Religious Opposition to Physician-Assisted Suicide

By Krista Kapralos

…doctrinal statements from Roman Catholics and Southern Baptists and a good number of other traditions, but individuals may not feel those are binding, or they may feel their circumstances are exceptional,” he said. The Catholic Church hasn’t shifted its policies regarding end-of-life care, said Dierdre McQuade, and she explained that the difference between palliative sedation and physician-assisted death is intent. Even in the case of increasing m…
