By Carlos Wilton

…rategy was to seek out God-fearers wherever they happened to be. These half-committed, outside-looking-in seekers eventually formed the nucleus of the Christian church.” Among that crowd was Lydia, a “seller of purple.” Lydia was an entrepreneur in the new economy of that day: a merchant whose niche was marketing the costly purple cloth that was all the rage at the imperial court.

By Phyllis Zagano

…e notice that the entire work would be available in paper, and also as an e-book in both formats. I was able to write an essay to introduce the two Vagaggini essays, to put them in context with the modern discussion about women in the diaconate. What are some of the biggest misconceptions about your topic? Quite a few people—most of them higher clerics—have written off the notion of ordaining women as deacons, perhaps because they fear women in th…

Will Religion Solve the Obesity Crisis?

By Andrew Aghapour

…any dieter will tell you, the secret to self-control is to change your day-to-day relationship with tempting foods. Chocolate cake has to code-switch, from “a thing I want and must resist” to “a thing I don’t want right now,” and that happens in the ACC. As Roundling’s study shows, religious thoughts seem to help with short-term code switching because they offer a concrete set of alternative values. Similarly, when Warren says that caring for his…

Trump’s DOJ Wants Constitutional Protection for Wedding Cakes, Not LGBT People

By Sunnivie Brydum

…-LGBT hate group. (For those paying attention, it’s also the massively well-funded right-wing legal outfit to which Attorney General Jeff Sessions gave a fawning, closed-door speech in July.) “This Justice Department has already made its hostility to the rights of LGBT people and so many others crystal clear,” said ACLU deputy legal director Louise Melling, who is representing the same-sex couple who was turned away by Jack Phillips, the owner of…

By Heron Greenesmith and Asia Korkmaz

…ess it on their peers may prove to be a dangerous boost in the FRC’s hearts-and-minds campaign. Biblical worldview reigns supreme The focus on the youth Q&A was helping young Christians embody their biblical worldview—a theme of the summit as a whole. FRC has a Center for Biblical Worldview, at which Joseph Backholm and George Barna are both Senior Fellows. But what is a biblical worldview and what does the rhetoric at Pray Vote Stand imply for st…

Capricology: Television, Tech, and the Sacred

By Diane Winston

…ce we have certainly seen that homosexuality is accepted in a pretty matter-of-fact way in the world depicted in Battlestar Galactica. Did the values change so dramatically over the years between the two series? Did they shift as Caprica came into contact with other worlds? In response to the destruction the Cylons brought about? Or do the two series have different conceptions about the range of what constitutes normal human sexuality? Or does thi…

By Mandy Van Deven

…the ways in which women’s intimate lives are tied to global forces. In her new book, The Means of Reproduction: Sex, Power, and the Future of the World Goldberg tackles issues like population control, female infanticide, genital cutting, HIV/AIDS, and global poverty. She makes the convincing case that women’s oppression is at the heart of many of the world’s problems; that, as she puts it, “underlying diverse conflicts—demography, natural resource…

Bishops Search for Condoms in Cookie Boxes

By Mary E. Hunt

…disgraced bishops are deposed and indicted for the sexual crimes and cover-ups that have come to define contemporary Catholicism. By contrast, nuns and Girl Scouts are powerful symbols and equally powerful advocates for justice and peace. So in a sense the bishops have really taken on those who are shaping the culture. The bishops fretted in both cases about sex and gender, especially reproductive justice. The straw that broke the camel’s back fo…

American Muslim Community Must Search its Soul After Orlando Massacre

By Omar Sarwar

…object as an illness to be cured. And Qadhi should know, as he has himself compared same-sex love with substance abuse. It’s a mode of conservative religion that pathologizes same-sex love, causing gay people to internalize homophobia and thus endure unnecessary suffering. This isn’t to say that Mateen’s homophobia explains why he slaughtered dozens of innocent people, just that it was a significant factor in his decision to specifically target LG…

Do Space Aliens Need Baptism? The View From Gliese 581g

By Paul Wallace

…e must be someone out there. So every time I read about the discovery of a new Earth-like planet or read about NASA’s upcoming Kepler planet-finding mission or watch a movie like Contact, I grow excited over—and, like Brahe, even a little afraid of—the vast unknown. My mind boggles. What’s really out there?, I wonder. Yet I cannot help but detect a kind of desperation in our quest for extraterrestrial intelligence. I can’t point to any single sour…
