Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

By Chrissy Stroop

…a multiplicity of competing “Christianities”—then we must also admit that competing interpretations of Christianity hold up competing understandings of Jesus. And that those various “Jesuses” have real power in their respective Christian communities. Put aside, for a moment, the question of what the historical Jesus “was really like.” New Testament scholars have often found Jesus to be an admirable healer and anti-authoritarian figure, but there…

Christians Must Confront the Lies at the Heart of Whiteness

By Rachel C. Schneider

…lood on their hands, to shed blood, if it means advancing their privilege, comfort, and security. In the wake of Jan 6, we now also have more visual evidence documenting white willingness to create wide-scale destruction and to undermine basic social functioning for the sake of protecting white supremacy. We are confronted yet again by the sanctity afforded white lives (even when engaging in violent and criminal activity) by the state, in comparis…

Attack on the US Capitol Has Many Journos Finally Taking White Evangelical Authoritarianism and Christian Nationalism Seriously

By Chrissy Stroop

…e will of the majority of Americans. Thankfully, some of the reporting and commentary that’s emerged since is more intellectually honest, giving me some hope that perhaps, at long last, the Trump years will force a reckoning with the ways in which conservative Christianity upholds white supremacist patriarchy in the United States. Not as a fig leaf, not as window dressing, but substantively, as religion. Christianity comes in many varieties, not a…

Q Shaman’s New Age-Radical Right Blend Hints at the Blurring of Seemingly Disparate Categories

By Susannah Crockford

…onspirituality, and there are some in the wellness, yoga, and spirituality communities who have become deeply concerned about the interpenetration of the two. When asked by the Arizona Republic about where he got his ideas, Jake Angeli mentioned “internet research” and Behold a Pale Horse by William Cooper. Cooper was another Arizona resident, killed by police, whose book went on to influence QAnon and the right-wing Patriot movement. YouTube rese…

White Supremacy Erases Its Violence: The Predictable Blaming of Antifa

By Stephen Young

…responsibility while, in reality, never taking responsibility but instead complaining about perceived grievances and blaming your victims. Blaming the victims and opponents of White Supremacy is as American a political tradition as it gets. We simply do not “remember” it as such because that’s part of the magic of White Supremacy: it gets to erase itself. Something like the #TrumperTantrum at the Capitol, though striking in its specifics, then ap…

Put Your Money Where Your Mind Is: A For-Profit Meditation Studio Opens in New York

By Michael Schulson

…ulness. If anything, HBR is behind the times. Mindfulness practices have become common in the business world where they’re thought to improve performance. Advocates have pushed this kind of mental training for schools and prisons as well. They frame mindfulness in terms of self-improvement, often with specific strategic goals in mind. “When you secularize a practice, you open it up to new groups of people. You also make it more available to commod…

No Room for Non-Theists at Boston Interfaith Service

By Becky Garrison

…hed to help the Corcorans. Also, at the time of this writing, WeAreAtheism.com, the Boston Atheists, the Humanist Community at Harvard, and the Secular Coalition for Massachusetts have raised $26,856 to assist victims. But though Epstein has considerable experience organizing memorial vigils—and has addressed over 45,000 people in attendance at these events during his decade of service as a humanist chaplain—he was not invited or included to part…

#ReinstateDocHawk: Wheaton Does Not Speak for Its Students

By Ellie Roth

…necessary and insensitive escalation is feeding a fire many in the Wheaton community and larger Christian community resent, and one that is tragically hurting American Muslims. https://twitter.com/christinefolch/status/677262569002811392 Many of my peers have impressed me over the past few days. I have witnessed prayer, courageous words and thoughtful actions like the #ReinstateDocHawk petition that’s almost at its goal of 15,000 signatures. I par…

Coming Out on a Christian Campus, Then and Now

By Ed Madden

…ing stories on The Huffington Post and on the New Yorker blog. A couple of comments kept coming up. Repeatedly, people kept asking, “Why would you go to Harding if you’re gay?” Even alumni, though, would ask why these GLBT students chose to attend there, or why they couldn’t or wouldn’t leave? The question is unfair. So many factors—funding, family, a deep connection to the religious culture—could place a student at Harding. While more and more st…

Pastor Now Sees Anti-Gay Movement as “Mean-Spirited”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ll experience the same cognitive dissonance that Richmond experienced, and come to his same conclusion: Now I am wondering why, if two gay people want to commit their lives to one another, they should ever be denied that chance. No church or pastor should be forced to perform those ceremonies, and they can choose not to recognize gay marriage for their adherents. But the constitution of the Presbyterian Church does not explicitly forbid a pastor f…
