From Bad to Worstest: How Liberals Should (And Should Not) Talk About Values

By Daniel Schultz

…in constant judgment. It turns out to be super easy to turn people off by talking about ethics and morals. It’s not wrong to talk about your values. I do it all the time! But you have to approach it sideways, with a sense of humor and surprise. Giving someone an unexpected reason to buy into a value works much better than a blunt, confrontational declaration. Start with a story. Drop the labels, the identities, the principles, and tell a story. A…

How to Talk to a Trump Evangelical at Christmas

By Stephen Mucher

…cuss Hillary. There’s nothing that Trump evangelicals would rather do than talk about Hillary Clinton, a nemesis they’ve relied on for 30 years. She is gone. Don’t be baited. Hilary-talk is often an evasion tactic for persons who fear your questions about what Christianity requires of them in a post-Clinton era. 2. Don’t discuss Obama. This may be more difficult. You may feel nostalgia and a moral impulse to defend an unfairly maligned minority pr…

Mormons, LGBT People Respond to Packer’s Talk

By Joanna Brooks

…ometimes reach out to feel her head for horns. Late in her life, she and I talked about homosexuality—we talked about everything—and she recalled back in the 1950s a boy who grew up on her block in her middle-class Los Angeles suburb, a child who she always knew was different, and kindly she asked, “I wonder what has happened to him? I wonder if everything turned out okay for him?” Kindness was the core of her Mormonism. In this moment, her memory…

This Narrative of Death that is So Powerful Among Us

By Daniel Schultz

…y in covenant with one another. Dan: Well, speaking of covenant, we were talking about those alternative identities, and I wanted to talk about your new book, Journey to the Common Good for a little bit. I haven’t read the whole thing, but it seems like the thesis is pretty much that we find those kind of new identities as neighbors in that journey through scripture, through that narrative. Is that right? Walter: That’s right, I think, insofar a…

COVID-19 is Concentrating Wealth Even Further; Can we Talk About the Surplus of Powerlessness in the Faith Community?

By Peter Laarman

…the eerie silence where the rest of faith leadership is concerned. When I talk about this with colleagues I hear lots of theories: fragmentation, fatigue, and of course the overwhelming immediate urgency of giving support and comfort to the grieving and the fearful. But something else is going on, and I think it’s something progressive religious people will need to grapple with whenever there’s time to take a deep breath. That something else is t…

Rarefied Islamophobia: When Americans Duplicate the European Cultural Talk

By Jocelyne Cesari

…entified as “cultural talk” in his book Good Muslim, Bad Muslim. “Cultural talk” is based upon a view of Islam as a unified ideology which spreads from Europe all the way to Iraq and Afghanistan. According to this outlook, Muslims are petrified in history and occupy a mold from which they cannot escape; defined by their so-called conformity to the past and their incapacity to address the current challenges of political development and liberal reli…

How to Die in America: A Conversation with Ann Neumann

By Ellie Faustino

Nobody likes to talk about death. And when we do talk about it, we romanticize it, or veil it in mystery. “The way we talk about dying and the way we die are two very different things,” writes journalist Ann Neumann. Grounded in a narrative of her own experience caring for a dying parent, Neumann’s new book, The Good Death, joins a spate of excellent books about dying published in just the last few months. The Good Death traverses a wide range of…

Will a New Dawkins Foundation-Sponsored App Help Atheists Talk to Believers?

By Alana Massey

…the emotional ramifications of talking about their God belief. When you’re talking to people about God, you’re talking to them about more than God. You’re talking about their family, their social structure, who they go on Sunday cookouts with, and who has supported them their whole lives,” said Paquette. “So that’s definitely somewhere that we could grow,” she added without hesitation, noting that they could add essays to the resources or new scen…

A Profanity-Laden Sermon for White People Who Want to Talk About Race

By Daniel Schultz

…the recent national conversation on race. More specifically, white people talking about black people. I think it’s fair to say that the Christian take on how to talk about race is: if you’re not willing to suffer with those who suffer, you should really shut the fuck up. I don’t mean that rhetorically. Literally, Jesus is so moved by the crowds that he sets aside his own needs and takes on their suffering as his own. If white folk aren’t willing…
