We have no way to independently verify these numbers, so they should be used advisedly. Simply put, the global vision of the NAR is based on their understanding of the Great Commission text of Matthew 28:18-20, with an emphasis on “discipling nations” (28:19). Internatio…

Tim Tebow, Protestant Saint

By Sean S. O'Neil

…crescendo of Bronco praise: “Tebow! Tebow!” Yesterday, against the hapless Miami Dolphins who were 0 and 5 going into the game, Tebow started and spent three quarters playing the before role in the saint narrative. Throwing errant passes, misreading defensive coverage, and threatening to leave the Broncos with their first scoreless game since 1992, he looked weak and bewildered.

By Nathan Schneider

…ominent philosopher was forced to resign from his job at the University of Miami because of revelations about sexually explicit correspondence between him and a graduate student. The likes of Steven Pinker defended him, but not many others. Now, an article in The New York Times this past weekend has spread the debate about his case further and wider.

…can group GOProud, at the Take Back America conference over the weekend in Miami. (You’ll remember, this is the conference Ann Coulter was disinvited from because she agreed to speak at GoProud’s “Homocon” event.) Barron argued that gay people can be true conservatives, listing his organization’s support for conservative causes like “tax cuts, repealing health-care reform, social-security reform, and a neo-conservative defense for the Global War o…

…omophobia. The father said that Omar saw two men kissing when they were in Miami, and the son went into a rage. Omar’s former wife confirmed that he had a short temper and was prone to violence. She told the Washington Post that he used to beat her, and was “mentally unstable.” On the other hand, the Amaq Agency, the news outlet of the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, stated that the shooting “was carried out by an Islamic State fighter.” Omar him…

By Annika Brockschmidt and Ben Lorber

…youth contingent. The conference seems smaller than the 2022 conference in Miami, with a smaller ballroom. Along a narrow hallway, representatives of India’s BJP hobnob with US conservatives (as has been the trend); Orthodox Jews mingle with priests; fresh-faced college students hobnob with stalwart right-wing operatives. An array of right-wing outfits table in the hallway, doling out everything from stickers (“Biblical femininity, not feminism”)…

But as writers we need to ask ourselves, how can readers be expected to understand the relative significance of a person or a movement, if the l…

Church’s Lawyers Have SNAP in Their Sights

By Kathryn Joyce

…ing this is, we could have a letter in our files from 1990 from a woman in Miami who was molested in Arkansas by a priest who later went to Alaska, and she could have told no one and all parties could be dead. But if it’s in our files from 1990, we’re supposed to turn that over to the other side. Why not release them? First of all, people expect and we had promised that when they come to us for help, their privacy will be protected. For the most p…
