Mormon Leaders Slam ‘Counterfeit’ Gay Families; Vatican Resists Gay Ambassador; ISIS Executes Man for Homosexuality; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…se mother-son activists Lily Dinh and Teddy Nguyen say family attitudes in Vietnam have changed since the government decriminalised same-sex marriage. In 2013, Vietnamese government officials organized discussions on same-sex marriage, and invited Dinh – who heads a small chapter of PFLAG, a group for parents and friends of LGBT people – to speak, along with others from the group. “I think that was the first time the government officers from the m…

Why Don’t Republicans Want to Allow Pastors to Endorse from Pulpit?

By Daniel Silliman

…hard. “Lyndon Johnson’s probably rotting in hell right now because of the Vietnam War,” he once told a group of young conservatives. “He probably needs to move over for Dick Cheney.” Jones took a stand against George W. Bush in 2005 proposing legislation that would require the administration to set a timeline to end the war, including troop withdrawal no later than December 2006. That same year, not incidentally, Jones proposed this bill to repea…

Springtime for Ross Douthat?

By Daniel Schultz

…s for moving too fast, and supporting Mutually Assured Destruction and the Vietnam War. Most people these days look to Juergen Moltmann (even he’s kind of old-school by now), Gustavo Gutierrez, Marcus Borg, James Cone, Sallie McFague, or any number of other thinkers and theologians that Douthat does not recognize. The only people who want to bring back Niebuhr are conservatives. (I’m an admitted fanboy, but that’s about coming from the same church…

Are the Pews Half Empty or Half Full? Lessons From 734 A.D.

By Carlos Wilton

…bies, but when those children came of age, it was straight into Woodstock, Vietnam War protests and “Don’t trust anyone over 30.” Sometime in the mid-to-late 1960s, worship attendance quietly peaked. The pendulum had reached the limit of its swing. As it has continued to swing back past the center and beyond, pastors like me puzzle over how to reach spiritual-but-not-religious millennials. Some colleagues—even gifted communicators—have wearied of…

Don’t Overlook Endless War in Rise of ISIS

By Haroon Moghul

…before deciding to try it again. Hence the gap between our intervention in Vietnam and nation-building in Iraq. But what about the places where total war becomes the norm? In the first half of the twentieth century, countries like Russia and Germany, and the lands in between them, initiated or suffered extremes of war that few countries have thankfully ever experienced, or could conceive of. Iraq might be able to. Just review the last one hundred…

Perhaps Islam isn’t the Only Reason Donald Trump Didn’t Recall Muhammad Ali

By Sean O'Neil

…in Ali’s famously defiant line about the draft and his refusal to fight in Vietnam: “No Vietcong ever called me a n—-r.” Sociologist Harry Edwards referred to Muhammad Ali as the “patron saint” of black athletic revolt. Indeed, Ali’s religiously-inspired sociopolitical stance had interfaith resonance. He was an inspiration, for example, to African-American Christian athletes John Carlos and Tommie Smith, who famously bowed their heads and raised t…

Time to Face Facts: White Evangelicalism Has Always Been Right Wing

By Neil J. Young

…ave always veered to the right, often to the extreme. From Civil Rights to Vietnam to abortion to gay rights, from national defense to tax policy to climate change to health care and on and on, white evangelicals have solidly and consistently championed the most conservative positions. Where some white evangelicals have at times been found on the other side of these issues, they have only served to highlight the enormous evangelical majority that…

A Third Reconstruction? Rev. William Barber Lifts the Trumpet

By Peter Laarman

…Freedom Summer, the 1965 Voting Rights Act, the Movement’s stance against Vietnam or the Poor Peoples’ Campaign. But we also cannot understand why there was a violent backlash, the development of the white Southern Strategy, and how “cutting taxes,” “entitlements” and “states’ rights” became such potent, racialized language to persuade people to vote against their own self interest. Because we don’t know this history, we don’t understand how publ…

Tim LaHaye’s World: We’re Living In It

By Jason C. Bivins

…ith the powerful. Despite how obvious it is that the emptied coffers after Vietnam, the disastrous slashing of the social safety net in the 1980s, the protracted legitimation crisis in American democracy, and the failure attend to the still crippling forces of racism, inequality, and political apathy are the big stories in this America, LaHaye’s fact-fictional writing constituted a kind of archive deflecting attention from these issues, instead gi…

The End of Carson?

By Sarah Posner

…en. William Westmoreland, who had just ended his command of U.S. forces in Vietnam, and the two dined together. That meeting, according to Carson’s telling, was followed by a “full scholarship” to the military academy. West Point, however, has no record of Carson applying, much less being extended admission. * * * * When presented with these facts, Carson’s campaign conceded the story was false. This comes on the heels of CNN’s report earlier this…
