By Peter Montgomery

…s worldwide had mounted a campaign urging President Yoweri Museveni not to sign the law; they were joined by U.S. officials. Among those urging Museveni not to sign the law was retired Anglican Archbishop Desmond Tutu of South Africa, who had spoken personally with Museveni. Said Tutu: “We must be entirely clear about this: the history of people is littered with attempts to legislate against love or marriage across class, caste, and race. But ther…

The Real Mormon Moment

By Joanna Brooks

…towards less orthodox members of their congregations. I dream tonight of a signal from Salt Lake City, or an even higher place, will empower a different kind of action, a standing down on all sides, a putting away of defensiveness and fearfulness, a putting to rest of Mormonism’s nineteenth-century ghosts and twentieth-century control issues. A signal to the men tasked with the burden of convening an excommunication court this Sunday in Virginia,…

Hobby Lobby Aftermath: Christian College Demands an Exemption…from the Exemption

By Nomi Stolzenberg

…o government itself. If a religious objector has a right to be exempt from signing a document that triggers the provision of government funding for contraceptive services (as would logically seem to follow from holding that a religious objector as a right to be exempt from signing a document that triggers the provision of funding the same services by an insurance carrier), then why not hold that a religious objector has a right not to pay taxes to…

God and the Gay Christian: An Interview with Matthew Vines

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ension, but many felt they didn’t know how to embrace me without having to significantly revise their understanding of scripture. This is why many people will be compassionate and sympathetic but only within the parameters of their biblical interpretation—which means there is a limit to how far their compassion goes. You need people not to just tolerate you; you need people to embrace and affirm you. I appreciated the sympathy and that people did…

By Joseph Laycock

…w the plane felt outraged rather than informed. A teenager who spotted the sign described it as “horrific,” while City Councilman Mark Treyger called the sign “a chilling message of fear and intimidation.” The Raelians almost certainly counted on this emotional response. In her book on the Raelians, Susan J. Palmer suggests that the movement intentionally generates controversy to gain media attention and to present the itself as a group that is em…

It’s The Apocalypse, Stupid: Understanding Christian Opposition to Obamacare, Civil Rights, New Deal and More

By Daniel Silliman

…back before the millennium. From there they determined that there will be signs or indications that tell us we’re approaching the Second Coming. They believe the Bible had laid out these signs, the sequence of events that would happen, as they understood it, as we get closer and closer and closer to the Second Coming of Christ. The rough picture is that we’re moving towards the End Times. Instead of the idea that Christians are building the kingd…

Why James H. Cone’s Liberation Theology Matters More Than Ever

By Daniel José Camacho

…that God is the source of life. In December 2014, I drew up and carried a sign with the words “James Cone Was Right” as I marched with members of the Union Theological Seminary community for the Millions March NYC. My sign became a hashtag and sparked a larger conversation. I think #JamesConeWasRight is about much more than just one person, it’s about voices that have long been sidelined; this includes Womanist theologians (many of whom were stud…

Report from Paris During COP21: Let Us Not Commit Global Suicide

By Donna Schaper

…takes you out to the conference center). There we see a Panda holding the sign of resistance and hope and a young woman on the verge of skateboarding. The poster has the same fierceness the French showed on Sunday when, after terrorism and the police cancelled the giant kick-off march, they put their shoes in rows on the street. Not allowed to protest, they amused themselves and many others with the amuse-bouche of the human spirit. Ordinary peop…

Shanghaiist quotes from a statement released by Chang Shou-yi, secretary general of the Alliance of Taiwan Religious Groups for the Protection of the Family: “Because McDonald’s is frequented by many children, it is especially important to oppose the promotion of same-sex behavior,” the statement added. As…

Faith and Football: What the Gospel Church Can Learn from the NFL

By Douglas Harrison

…ording to Culliver, and they should leave if there are any, anyway. It’s a sign of the age of cultural enlightenment that seems to be dawning in the NFL that Culliver’s remarks were swiftly and roundly rejected by both the 49ers front office and a raft of players, including the NFL’s straight-but-not-narrow ambassadors of loud-and-proud support for gay rights, the Baltimore Ravens’ Brendon Ayanbadejo and the Minnesota Vikings’ Chris Kluwe. Here’s…
