Grab ‘n Go – Investigative Thriller Follows Covert Efforts to Control the Source of Life But Comes Up Short on Analysis

By Peter Laarman

…developed” arable land, making it the obvious target of a new scramble for Africa that echoes the original European Scramble for Africa of the late 19th century. What’s more, while indigenous Africans clearly have ancestral claims to the land they use for their crops and cattle grazing, many lack legal title to that land, making expropriation and displacement by global investors that much easier. The film also makes the important point that when i…

The Feds: Gamblers And Addicts

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…meet his Maker without being able to say he’d done something about AIDS in Africa. The problem was, as with so many of Bush’s Big Ideas, that there was no detailed explanation of where the money was coming from, nor where he intended it to go. The question of where from seemed pointless; we racked it up as one more piece of “deficit spending,” a prettified name for a shameful reality. But more relevant to the current debate in the Congress was the…

Christians of Color Are Rejecting “Colonial Christianity” and Reclaiming Ancestral Spiritualities

By Deborah Jian Lee

…even though “that cultural history does not reach back to the continent of Africa.” She writes: We do not know tribe or location, and Africa is a very diverse continent. So, if we are trying to reclaim practices, we are grounding that reclamation in what I call ‘geo-spiritual’ spaces: historical memory, spiritual amalgamations of dream time. We are putting together the pieces of what is left and what we imagine. That which was lost is recreated ar…

Where Trump and Climate Deniers Seem Very Far Away: COP22 in Marrakech

By Donna Schaper

…exasperates about Trump and the climate deniers. The main message is that Africa is no longer destitute but is instead cutting edge, both economically and environmentally, and ready to provide leadership to a top-down world. “Please don’t come here to solve our poverty when yours is so apparent,” the message goes. The biggest surprise for me is around women. They (we) are more prominent, more vigorous and more strategic than Paris ever imagined….

“Mass Graves, Child Soldiers” and a Crusading Army of International Evangelists

By Rosalind I. J. Hackett and Randal L. Hepner

…ege of advance publicity. Posters were plastered everywhere and, what with Africa being the radio continent, announcements were heard for days on the airwaves. Vehicles sporting PA systems toured the town blasting ear-splitting invitations to the crusade. Before long the cavalcade was roaring into town with a police escort. But, as the excitement grew, news started to filter out about a terrorist threat from the Somali group al-Shabab that was loo…

UPDATED: Warren is… Heterogeneous on Gay Marriage; In Hot Water for Equivocation

By Bill Berkowitz

…atters because he was concentrating on his work around poverty and AIDS in Africa. As expected, warren was roundly criticized by several Religious Right spokespersons, including one who had been prominently involved in the Prop 8 campaign. Now several days later, instead of the dust settling on the matter, a well-known African American conservative Christian evangelical leader is accusing Warren of doing “tremendous damage” to the church. Bishop H…

Mexico moves toward national marriage equality; Greek govt announces civil partnership legislation; Pope warns against ‘secularism and relativism’; Global LGBT recap

By Peter Montgomery

…onclusions of a new study on sexual diversity by the Academy of Science of South Africa. Uganda’s infamous anti-gay laws were justified with a study which Ugandan MPs claimed stated: “Homosexuality is not a disease but merely an abnormal behaviour which may be learned through experiences in life. In every society, there is a small number of people with homosexuality tendencies. “The practice needs regulation like any other human behaviour especial…

Embattled Professor Took a Stand for “Human Solidarity,” Versus Entrenched Evangelical Fear

By Ivy George

…clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind–a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014. But perhaps such a call from the gospel was too daunting for the custodians of religious, racial and political purity at Wheaton College. The easy bedding of white American evangelicals with the U.S. state would make it difficult for them to see Hawkins—the college’s fi…

Forgiveness

By Amina Wadud

…ss from the family and others if not the victim directly. What happened in South Africa was that the family would have the choice to forgive. By forgiving, they raise the perpetrator back up to a level of humanity lost by the act perpetuated. If the family or victim continued to hold a grudge, what actually happens, in a manner of speaking, is they are then brought down to the level of the one who did the offense. This is the logistics of the Isla…
