Religious Exemptions and the New Non-Culture Wars

By Sarah Posner

…eportedly, an aide to Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-MN), a supporter of the bill, knew about the anti-abortion provision the Republicans added, but failed to inform her boss.

…religion is Catholicism and the subject is women and reproduction. We have come to hold in high regard individuals who follow their conscience when the going gets tough. Whistleblowers; pacifists who will not fight and kill in war; interrogators who will not follow an order to waterboard; doctors in the Soviet Union who would not use psychotropic drugs on dissidents in mental hospitals; and Catholic hospitals who will not let women die or who want…

The Messiah is Not Coming

By Peter Laarman

A preacher’s offhand mention of the work-hard-and-be-rewarded economy as “a thing that is passing away” got me to thinking of all of the other things that are passing away. Allow me to catalog them: 1. related to the preacher’s point, a large and stable middle class flanked by much smaller lower and upper classes: we are morphing rapidly into a society of elites and drones without a middle that isn’t being perpetually downsized and drone-ized in…

By Peter Laarman

…oun’s name on one of the old 12 residential colleges while naming two brand*]}*-new such colleges for (wait for it) Benjamin Franklin and Pauli Murray. The Yale Corporation also decided to drop the name “master” and substitute “head of college” for those persons, usually faculty members, who oversee programming in the colleges. Let’s look at these in order. Even though some prominent Yalies like Henry Louis “Skip” Gates, Jr. (who lived at Calhoun) arg…

Masculine Christianity, Praying Ballplayers, & Satanist Discrimination

By Michael J. Altman

…the morals at stake in the continued violence of the Afghanistan war. Two new books on anti-Semitism prove that it is still a relevant topic. And philo-Semitism is still around as well. Fundamentalists and other conservative Christians unite with conservative Jews in Zionist hopes and millennial visions.

“I had been part of the problem of Islamophobia”: Pastor Danny Cortez On This New Era

By The Editors

…at is one of the biggest transformations that has occurred for you in this new era? This past year we’ve seen so much anti-Muslim rhetoric and so much fear in the Muslim community. It’s been important for me and my church to connect with them. So, shortly after the election, I reached out to a local imam and was invited to a prayer service. I wanted to show them physically that people of faith, especially those who claim to be Christian, weren’t a…

The New Church: Sexual and Ethnic Diversity… and Drums!

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…ch of the world they found people playing drums. Since these “other” communities could not possibly have true religion, drums must be associated with false or heathen religions. A history of Christian colonization and missionization becomes also a history of destroying drums. So, maybe these new practices among congregations are telling us something more. Maybe “ethnic diversity” and the “playing of drums” are not actually different categories, bu…
