Do Boys in Tutus Break God’s ‘Chain of Command’?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ly replied that I would do no such thing and couldn’t imagine what she was talking about. She continued on and on about how mean children could be and how he would be ridiculed. My response to that: The only people that seem to have a problem with it is their mothers. The mom is shocked that her son had to learn a hard lesson about how cruel the world is from “allegedly Christian women.” Honestly, it’s what she should have expected. Christianity,…

Why We Should Ban Oppressive Speech Acts

By Natasha Lennard

…e when a group of acquaintances are having dinner, and one attendee starts talking about sex, so everyone feels permitted to talk about sex. There’s no going back to the point before the topic was raised. But the stakes of the introduction of oppressive speech into a space are, meanwhile, the pernicious matter at hand. I vehemently disagree with McGowan’s anti-sex worker argument that pornography per se functions as oppressive speech. This collaps…

Israel-Hamas is Not a Religious War and This is Not Your Rapture

By Thomas Lecaque

…s—it is not limited to a handful of pulpits. Last week, Hagee gave a short talk, “Israel Is At War,” in which he pushes a narrative of good and evil, urges America into the conflict, and supports now-debunked allegations, including that Iran had actually planned the attack. Hagee also advocated that the war be spread to all neighboring countries. David Jeremiah—founder of Turning Point Radio and Television Ministries and pusher of imminent Rapture…

“Religious Liberty” Catholics Reap What They Sow in Trump

By Patricia Miller

…contribution to Christianity—and other religions—is to allow you, when you talk religious liberty, to go and speak openly. He told the assembled group that “you don’t have any religious freedom if you think about it,” and promised to work on “freeing up your religion, freeing up your thoughts,” including removing the ban on churches making political endorsements. Leaving aside the fact that the United States consistently ranks high on the list of…

Mormon “Martin Luther” Causes Stir by Uploading LDS Church Handbook of Instructions to Internet

By Joanna Brooks

…and the protests following Elder Boyd K. Packer’s controversial conference talk on homosexuality. Yesterday, the Church newsroom went on the defensive with a blog post decrying the poor journalism of the local television news crew (shocking), especially its narrative linking of recent protests to the CHI changes, pointing out that the revision process “began in 2007 and copies were printed months ago.” True enough. Those of us who watch closely ha…

Christian Charity Meets Its Match: If You Missed “The Overnighters,” Here’s Why You Should See It Now

By Beatrice Marovich

…one of them are, in any obvious way, religious. Most recently there’s been talk of how regulation policies for shipping North Dakota crude may have contributed to the derailment and explosion of a train in West Virginia. What’s happening on the oil patch is, in essence, an environmental crisis. So it would make sense if the bulk of oil boom news were related to these metamorphoses in the land, and the landscape. But nothing alters the natural worl…

Obama’s Supposed “Religion Dilemma” and American Exceptionalism

By Sarah Posner

…ervative political beliefs, and pretending to walk the evangelical walk or talk the evangelical talk doesn’t help Democrats bridge that political divide. To wit: Obama might pray with evangelical megachurch pastors or receive scripture on his Blackberry, but no one cares. There’s a long-standing push to get Obama to pick a church in Washington and attend regularly, and while that might make religious folks who share beliefs with the chosen church…

Whatever COVID-19 Brings, This Chaplain Wants You to Remember That the Death Rate is Ultimately 100%

By J. Dana Trent

…one-third of us have an end-of-life care plan in place. My perspective on talking about that changed after graduating from Duke Divinity School, when I completed a post-graduate residency year in hospital clinical pastoral education (aka chaplaincy) with an unintended specialization in end-of-life care. I stumbled into death, dying, and grief; several months later, my supervisor wrote that I’d taken to end-of-life care chaplaincy “as a morning gl…

Hajj Journal: Friday Salat al Jumu’ah in Haram al-Sharif

By Amina Wadud

…my left. When things get tough, I just go to English. Like these women who talk to all and sundry in Farsi, chances are just as good for any one language as for any other in this context. Most mornings until now, my roommate and I would awaken at 3:00 a.m. to get to the mosque for the prayer before the morning prayer tahajuud. Our first morning we had our encounter with the guardians of the “this sacred space is too sacred for you women, so give i…

As Long As There’s Fear, We Aren’t Ready for Atheism: A Conversation with Theologian and Ex-Priest Daniel Maguire

By Alana Massey

…ere slowly liberalizing, the most common thing I would hear after giving a talk is, “I’ve always felt that.” That’s a great word “felt.” It was there. It was nibbling at them. I’m beginning to have that same reaction here about the God question. People are uneasy in their sense of God. Do you have a response to those who would respond, “I just feel that God exists”? When I gave my first talk on this book [I said], “I am going to say things that ar…
