By Gloria Chough

…dained by the Presbytery of Greater Atlanta’s (PGA) Committee on Ministry (COM). In all, becoming an ordained minister in PCUSA took almost 20 years.

In addition to the senior pastor, the Session elders (similar in position to deacons in the Baptist or elders in the Uni…

By Daniel Schultz

…ot be called to account for it. Anybody who wants to hide behind the “Judea-Christian heritage” to throw shade at rude teenagers might want to re-read the prophets. There’s a reason we call angry sermons about the ills of society “jeremiads.” Despite what the NRA enablers might say, the question of gun politics does not revolve around the morality of being nice to one another in public discourse. If you ask the kids from Parkland, that frame died…

By Joanna Brooks

…out ultra-conservative LDS writer Cleon Skousen. He talks about violent end-of-days scenarios with a sureness and vigor some may find unsettling. And whoever has pushed this video out again believes that those elements will turn off non-Mormons, non-Christians, and the non-religious, and will motivate liberals to vote. 2. Mitt Romney espouses fairly orthodox Mormon beliefs. And he professes them as a literal believer. 3. The Mormon version of the…
