LDS Church Asserts Trademark of “Mormon”

By Holly Welker

…sed to promote professional endeavors. In the 1930s, ‘40s and ‘50s, a race car driver from Utah named Ab Jenkins set records for speed racing in vehicles he called the “Mormon Meteor.” No one suggested that he was claiming that his car was endorsed by the LDS establishment. Finally, officially registered trademarks can and do become so genericised that the original holder loses the right to control use of the name, as has happened to brands from a…

Utah’s First Same-Sex Married Couple: A Weight Has Been Lifted From Our Heart

By Joanna Brooks

…nal Amendment 3 unconstitutional. I was in disbelief. But we hopped in the car and drove to the county clerk’s. The light was too slow, I literally jumped out of the car and ran across lanes of traffic to get into the office. At first, the clerks thought we were there to do civil disobedience. She said, “The state of Utah does not recognize same sex couples.” I told her, “Haven’t you heard the good news?” She called her supervisor, and they called…

“We Found My Father, Except for His Hand”

By Haroon Moghul

As we passed by the “Little India” shopping center, the driver of the car next to us began excitedly waving to one of our hosts. It turns out that they knew each other, though the man’s cheerfulness belied his true purpose. He’d been living in America for years now, like tens of thousands of other exiled Bosniaks, and had returned solely for the commemorations at Srebrenica. His father’s body had finally been found; or at least all of it, except…

Ann Romney’s Big Love on the Big RNC Stage

By Anthea Butler

…kely is, in the words of another speaker, Gov Chris Christie, “driving the car while dad sat in the passenger seat.” Ann Romney’s speech last night was all about women. To quote her, “It’s the moms who always have to work a little harder, to make everything right.” She gets it. She’s going to drive the car and help Mitt win this election, and if that means she has to dig deep, she will. No one should think that just because Ann Romney was an stay-…

Why Was Suspicion Over “The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven” Ignored for Years?

By Rachel Wagner

…nd meaning. Instead of Alex’s father Kevin being ruthlessly flung from the car by impersonal forces of physics, we have Alex’s account of five hunky, winged angels carrying Kevin gently through the air before setting him down in a ditch. The book is filled with the stuff of heavenly dreams, and surely offers comfort to many who look for assurance of the afterlife in the face of trauma. It’s no wonder the book has sold so many copies. Of course, Al…

Beautiful Dreamers: A Documentary Asks “What is God”?

By Nathan Schneider

…with frenetic editing, that we usually see for thirty seconds at a time in car commercials (much of Rodger’s previous film work, I knew before I wrote that, has been in making car commercials). “Where can I buy this God?” I almost find myself asking. Maybe that is just what my life needs—some colorful religiosity for a change. Along with this spectacular fluttering of images comes an equally remarkable original soundtrack by composer Alexander van…

What ‘Little Sisters’ Contraception Ruling Gets Wrong

By Patricia Miller

…ther’s immoral act, like helping someone rob a bank by driving the getaway car. To make things even more complicated, there are two degrees of formal cooperation, depending on whether or not the cooperator intends the outcome, but either way it’s prohibited. Material cooperation, which is less serious, is when the cooperator takes some part in an immoral act but doesn’t approve of the outcome. It may or may not be acceptable depending on the circu…

“Who Prays?” A Soul At War Finds No Refuge

By Paula Cooey

…ce handcuffed her and put her and her four-year-old daughter into a police car. Officer Jeronimo Yanez had just fatally shot her boyfriend Philando Castile, a cafeteria supervisor for one of the local Montessori schools. So ended the life of yet another man of color at the corner of Fry and Larpenteur in St. Anthony, Minnesota, a suburb of St. Paul—just one day after the police shooting of Alton Sterling, yet another man of color, in New Orleans….

Does End Time Belief Really Cause Climate Change Apathy?

By Robin Globus Veldman

…arine Wilkinson found in her qualitative study of the evangelical ‘climate care’ movement). But other beliefs could easily be relevant as well. Many scholars of evangelical environmentalism, for example, have noted evangelicals’ concerns that caring for the environment could lead to paganism. I also frequently heard Christians say that their focus should be salvation and saving souls rather than pursuing a broader social agenda. Others argued that…

Sacrificing Children on the Altar of Religious Freedom: A Flood of Mask and Vaccine Lawsuits are Warping ‘Religious Freedom’

By Andrew L. Seidel

…e they believe a god commands it. A parent who allows a child to ride in a car without a car seat or seat belt should be treated the same whether or not they’re driving to church. A parent who viciously beats a child should be punished without regard to whether or not they believe sparing the rod is anti-biblical. Parents who neglect the health of their diabetic child, leading to the child’s death, should not be exempt from murder and neglect laws…
