UPDATED: Oklahoma Personhood Bill Not Dead…

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ing person. Full stop, no exceptions. A person is a person, the end. To be open to compromise, amendments, and qualifications is to undercut the distinctive thing about the movement. It’s what prompts some people to get on the personhood bandwagon, and to donate money. But the personhood’s failure to be open to any such compromise seems, at least in Mississippi and now Oklahoma, to alienate even those who are otherwise staunchly opposed to abortio…

…age, something must be done to portray the people of Centennial Park in an open and close-up manner that will demonstrate the common humanness we all have as productive and respectable citizens of our communities.

‘Id Mubarak and Many Happy Returns!

By Amina Wadud

…lamic salah is the perfect ritual: The best form of worship for a human vis-a-vis the sacred. I guess I owe you that one, because for now, I am ready to focus on the celebration.

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…shoestring budget with minimal music, slight voiceover narration, and black-and-white stills that pack the half-hour work with a wealth of worldly hopes and fears. (Terry Gilliam remade the gist of Marker’s narrative in 1995 and released it as the feature-length Twelve Monkeys). At the outset we learn World War Three has occurred, nuclear bombs have been dropped, the end is at hand. A band of underground survivors experiment with breaking out of…

“Profound Delight in Being”: Remembering John Hick

By Amir Dastmalchian

…ing in upon me and claiming my recognition and response. At first this was highly unwelcome, a disturbing and challenging demand for nothing less than a revolution in personal identity. But then the disturbing claim became a liberating invitation. The reality that was pressing in upon me was not only awesomely demanding […] but also irresistibly attractive, and I entered with great joy and excitement into the world of Christian faith. The second,…

Is the Growing Anti-Pope ‘Rad-Trad’ Community Poised to Become ‘Qatholics’? History Isn’t Encouraging

By Joshua P Hevert and Thomas Lecaque

…y serve as a warning for those tempted to close their eyes and hope this latest far-right uprising goes away. In the Middle Ages, for example, internal battles spread from discussions of theology to full blown anti-papal apocalypticism—a debate over apostolic poverty in the 14th century ended with schismatics calling Pope John XXII the Antichrist, openly declaring that the pope himself was a heretic, and calling in the Holy Roman Empire to interve…

Claremont and the Agony of the Seminaries

By Daniel Schultz

And while education costs rise, clergy pay isn’t undergoing a similar increase, in part because there are more smaller congregations who can’t afford to keep a full-time minister. That leads many clergy to become bi-vocational and/or skip seminary, or find alternative routes to ordination, such as correspondence courses or lay academies. All in all, it’s a tough market. As the LA Times points out, i…

Hajj Journal:
This Cultural Hajj

By Amina Wadud

…e. I needed a collective of funky progressive Sufi, activists, scholars to feel my culture and my community. So I decided on the next best thing from then on: I would do what I thought would best enhance my experience of the hajj and I would stay away from the rest, opting for silence if somebody else’s culture got too close. The variance of different cultural Islams prevented the women in our tent from creating an immediate community for the days…

Palin Talks Israel in Anticipation of 2012

By Shalom Goldman

…issa Harris-Perry sought to explain why many of her students (and her eight-year-old daughter) found Sarah Palin so compelling a figure. “[U]nderestimating Sarah Palin is a mistake of epic proportions,” Harris-Perry concluded, adding that while “Much of the urban East Coast discourse about Palin and The Tea Party women is dismissive and mocking… this perspective ignores that visceral emotions are at least as important as sober rationality in makin…
