By Karen E. Park

…to take a simple action to prevent getting seriously ill.” https://twitter.com/Sisyphus1989/status/1427101272793128961 The Cardinal’s Twitter feed has given very few updates and the Executive Director of the Shrine of Our Lady of Guadalupe exhorted His Eminence’s followers to pray the rosary on his behalf, and “out of humility” not to demand too much information about the state of the Cardinal’s health. These updates have since been removed from t…

The January 6 Select Committee Cannot Ignore This Christian Movement

By Andrew L. Seidel

…alism played in violently assaulting our democracy. Let’s hope this select committee doesn’t ignore, or worse, cover for, Christian Nationalism. Let’s hope this select committee listens to Officer Hodges. Because on January 6, Christian Nationalism proved that it is indeed un-American and that it will not go gently into the obsolescence for which it is bound. If we refuse to identify and confront this threat, it will strike again. The terrorists m…

Apocalypse Now and Then: How a Biblical Genre Shapes American Politics

By Christopher Douglas

…tures their sense of the disorder of the last half century as they’ve been compelled to share cultural and political power with other groups. As it did centuries ago, apocalypse channels the persecuted group’s fear, focusing their resentment and properly directing their anger. Apocalypse’s crucial component for U.S. politics today is this extreme moral dualism, not the imminent End Times. Mostly opposed to desegregation and Civil Rights at the tim…

This Quote About ‘Pregnant’ Church From Outgoing SBC President is Deeply Troubling For Anyone Concerned About Sexual Abuse

By Jill Hicks-Keeton

…d herein lies an important point. In the same address, Greear affirmed his commitment to the Bible: “I am committed to letting the Scripture, and the Scripture alone, be our rule for faith and practice. Anything else is unnecessarily divisive.” In a recent review piece for RD, I wondered aloud whether “evangelical Christianity might be irredeemably patriarchal precisely because of its biblicism.” Patriarchy and the Bible, it seems, are natural bed…

The Roots of White Evangelicalism’s Crisis Are in White Evangelical Churches, Not Republican Politics

By Jesse Curtis

…ss in the name of spreading the gospel. The Black evangelical activist and community organizer John Perkins took in this scene and saw self-satisfied white congregations denying their complicity with an age of racial injustice. In 1982 he called white evangelicalism “the most segregated, racist institution in America.” While white evangelicals treated their movement’s success as a sign of God’s blessing and their own devotion to the gospel, Perkin…

A Note To Churches During Pride: If You’re Not LGBTQ-Affirming, Keep Your Water

By Chrissy Stroop

…respectability” sure are eager to deceive people with respect to their “welcoming” of members of the LGBTQ community. What’s going on? In the first decade of the twenty-first century, in some conservative, mostly white evangelical circles there were calls to dial down the culture warring—at least in terms of the rhetoric, if not so much the theology that fueled it, nor the pervasive support for the concomitant anti-LGBTQ, anti-woman political agen…

Claiming That ‘We Birthed a Nation From Nothing’ CNN’s Rick Santorum Gives a Master Class in Christian Nationalism: An Open Letter to CNN

By Andrew L. Seidel

…g a hole through social media. At a Young America’s Foundation event, your commentator said: https://twitter.com/JasonSCampbell/status/1386685340522536961 If you think about this country, I don’t know of any other country in the world that was settled predominately by people who were coming to practice their faith. They came here because they were not allowed to practice their particular faith in their own country. And so they came here, mostly fr…

White Supremacy Erases Its Violence: The Predictable Blaming of Antifa

By Stephen Young

…responsibility while, in reality, never taking responsibility but instead complaining about perceived grievances and blaming your victims. Blaming the victims and opponents of White Supremacy is as American a political tradition as it gets. We simply do not “remember” it as such because that’s part of the magic of White Supremacy: it gets to erase itself. Something like the #TrumperTantrum at the Capitol, though striking in its specifics, then ap…

Purity Culture is Also About National Purity: Anti-Asian Hate and Purity Culture [Audio]

By Bradley Onishi

…p racial, ethnic, and nationalistic purity into equation.” https://twitter.com/BradleyOnishi/status/1372218576518619148 As my co-host says, focusing on the purity of the individual body leads to trying to purify the national body. Purity culture is a step away from a pure national body. A body whose borders are not breached by foreign invaders, including sexual tempters and those of low morals. If purity culture puts undue pressure on women to rem…

Don’t Discount Evangelicalism as a Factor in Racist Murder of Asian Spa Workers in Georgia

By Chrissy Stroop

…is firsthand as an Asian-American woman who was active in Southern Baptist communities for decades, before evangelical Trump support led her to become an exvangelical. Bergeron told RD, “White supremacy holds Asians in a weird light, complimenting them on being the ‘good minority,’ while also devaluing women into sex objects who exist for their pleasure.” Describing her own experience, she recalled, “As an adult in the SBC, I saw this fetish and d…
