Where the Wild Things Aren’t Just Jewish

By Jodi Eichler-Levine

…, which for Jews has evoked exclusion and persecution, and renders it as a sign of inclusion: we are all in the Holocaust. Just as the cross incorporates believers into the body of Christ and into the community of the church, Sendak wants his sign of the cross to incorporate all readers into the body of Holocaust experience. This goes beyond a “fantasy of witnessing,” an uncanny desire to “feel the horror” of the Holocaust for ourselves. It is a f…

…licting information about whether Schmierer, the board member in question, signed this letter at the time it was sent (reproductions of the letter on numerous websites, including Throckmorton’s, do not include his signature, while the letter currently on the Exodus site does). In March 2010, a year after the initial conference, the organization issued a formal public statement opposing the criminalization of homosexuality in Uganda. In contrast to…

Money, Technology, and the Silence of Churches: A Conversation with Susan Thistlethwaite

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…the wake of the criticism to the point where many Komen executives have resigned—people took to Twitter and Facebook and it happened in just a few days. Another example is Sandra Fluke and the so-called religious freedom battle, which was an anti-contraception battle, and what happened to Rush Limbaugh. He is significantly diminished in both his sponsors and his radio outreach. That was completely a creature of social media—and again driven by wo…

Beloved Immortals: Science, Miracles and ‘Jellyfish Time’

By Beatrice Marovich

…re that has no sexual organs and no complex digestive system as our bright sign of the future, while we simultaneously hold it captive to our whims and mercies. And yet I also have a strange sense that Kobuta might be the sort of starry-eyed scientist who won’t allow this to happen. Of course, I can’t know this. I don’t even know Kobuta. But I am moved by his sense of humility. Science’s Little Miracles As hungry as Kobuta is for knowledge about j…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ieve it not to be sinful, which is an encouraging sign. A less encouraging sign for who oppose equality for LGBT people is that 60% of those polled now believe homosexuality should be accepted rather than condemned, as compared to 31% ten years ago. Additionally, 72% see marriage equality for LGBT people as “inevitable,” with even 70% of white Evangelical Christians agreeing, even though only 22% are in favor of marriage equality.

…scientists are arguing otherwise. February 10 was a global day of action designed to encourage Museveni not to sign the legislation.

Did Uganda’s President Really Veto the Anti-Gay Bill?

By Kapya Kaoma

…or killed. The chief actually did very good work but homosexuality was not promoted. People would whisper and ignore, the issue now is promotion as if it’s good, that we can’t accept.” Museveni echoed this claim in his letter but added that Uganda should stop those who “lure” young people into homosexual acts: “We should legislate harshly against these people with money, from within and without, who take advantage of the desperation of our youth t…

To Pray or to Protest? The Both/And-ness of Black Christianity

By Jamall Andrew Calloway

…ssay on religion in Dust Tracks on the Road that she believed prayer was a sign of weakness and therefore has accepted the terms of the universe. But not everyone has. There are some who believe prayer actually affords strength to the enfeebled. Even Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. felt weak, bowed over a cup of coffee at midnight and “prayed a prayer… out loud that night.” Praying does not imply political ineptitude, just as being black, left, and ac…

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…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…nd neighborhoods. The turnaround was so astounding that one year, the best sign at Atlanta’s gay pride read: “We can rehab marriage and sell it back to you at twice the price.” Seems that sign was a bit prescient. As more and more states accept same-sex marriage, researchers are showing that gays and lesbians have much to teach their straight counterparts about the institution they have been bogarting for the last few centuries. As Liz Mundy recal…
