Russia Expels Gay American Pastor, An Epidemic of Anti-LGBT Violence in Brazil, And More in the Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…by the delegates from Africa voting in concert with the American traditionalists. It is clear that the traditionalists are frustrated with what they see as the lawlessness of the reformers and that the reformers are no longer willing to honor patently homophobic language and policy within the denomination. Since efforts to reach a compromise have repeatedly been thwarted by conservatives, progressives have resorted to civil disobedience and defian…

Public Prayer Verdict Shows Its True Colors

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…scene. Apparently in Greece itself, atheists may fall on the “assemblies” list thanks, you guessed it, to their local branch of the Sunday Assembly. So, ok, fine. It’s really the “religious perspective” part of Greece’s policy that should cause shivers in the heart of anyone who still believes in the separation of church and state. Are we really asking the government to decide, again, what is or is not a religion? Yes. In New York, atheists may b…

None Means None (Not Atheist, Agnostic, Unbeliever…)

By Elizabeth Drescher

…are unbelievers. Indeed, those RD readers who rightly noted that my recent list of “must-reads on Nones” did not include material on unbelievers per se will find his CV a bibliographical treasure trove. (As an aside, a fuller list of resources on non-believing Nones is in the works.) But it hardly opens up the real diversity of religious, nonreligious, or irreligious perspectives among the religiously unaffiliated. I’m beginning to wonder if the h…

By Jacob J. Erickson

…wd and the questions pour out—not about poaching or the ivory trade, but a list of questions that I might very likely hear in any one of the courses I teach on religion: “I hear elephants have incredible memory—how does that work?” “I hear they have rituals for how they bury the dead?” “How do they mourn?” “How do they play?” “How are their communities, herds organized? I hear they rely on matriarchs?” “I’ve heard stories that the orphans now in t…

By Bill Berkowitz

…ived their checks from the Department of Health and Human Services to help promote the President’s healthy marriages initiative. And what of Rick Warren, now being abused and accused? In the spirit of Birkat Hachamah, Passover, and Easter, let’s let him have the last word about fellowship: Christianity Today: You haven’t spoken to the media in several months. Why did you decide to start doing interviews again? Rick Warren: It’s Easter week. Easter…

C Street Scandal, the Media, the Future of the Family: An Interview with Jeff Sharlet

By Bill Berkowitz

…if at least half didn’t mention Coe, don’t include him. Well, Coe made the list, at number four, pictured with Bush, Sr., under the headline, “The Stealth Persuader.” The secret to his stealth is simple: In a city where everybody wants to be in the news, Coe isn’t seeking publicity. Way back in 1966, when he first began assuming leadership of the organization he’d come to re-brand as the Family, he sent out a memo declaring that the time had come…

As Pat Robertson Retires, Here Are 10 of His Most Cringeworthy Moments

By Chrissy Stroop

…ess. Through his efforts to build and expand the evangelical and fundamentalist alternative media ecosystem—launching CBN well over three decades before Fox News Channel came on the scene in 1996—Robertson has done incalculable damage to American civil society. In 1991, he published a book that popularized New World Order conspiracy theories among evangelicals, and his influence is reflected in our current post-truth political landscape, in which…

Abuser Priests Were “Off Duty,” Lawyer Argues

By Patricia Miller

…Minnesota Public Radio reports, “led the national response to the clergy abuse scandal in 2002 and helped write the U.S. Catholic Church’s policy on abuse.” He said he couldn’t remember if he ever received a list of abusers from his predecessor, if he investigated cases of abuse, or why he never released the list of 33 priests “credibly accused” of abuse by the diocese. I guess he wasn’t on duty….
