How to Die in America: A Conversation with Ann Neumann

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…

This Narrative of Death that is So Powerful Among Us

…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…

New Poll Finds “Growing Appetite” for Mixing Religion and Politics

…percent of white evangelicals believe there has been too little religious talk from politicians, by far the largest percentage of any religious group. By contrast, though, only 32% of Democrats and Democratic-leaners believed there was “too little” religious talk, a figure that has held steady since 2010.

How to Talk to a Trump Evangelical at Christmas

…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…

…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.

Mitt Romney’s Best-Known Mormon Critic Tells it All. One Last Time.

…ork in the State Department. At the very last moment, with no boyfriend to talk me out of graduation, my professors talked me into applying to the Fletcher School of Law and Diplomacy at Tufts, and I got a scholarship. It shocked me, but I went to Boston and the Fletcher School. I was the very straight arrow Mormon girl; the one who drank from the separate punchbowl. Then the Vietnam War swept me up, and I began to question everything. I was hired…

Sacred Geography: A Queer Latino Theological Response to Orlando

…“terrorism.”) Somehow the story is more easily told when we don’t have to talk about race—because no one knows how to talk about when people of color attack other people of color. But when reports refer to an attack on a “gay nightclub,” the truth about the violence that happens to queer and trans people of color is avoided. When thinking about the theological significance of these spaces for queer people, to not talk about racial experience is t…

Mitt, Moochers, and Mormonism’s “Other” Legacy

…th great cause to repent… For behold, are we not all beggars? If End Times talk is closed and divisive, King Benjamin talk is open and charitable, releasing some of the puffed up air of the “elect.” Kindness; compassion, service; they are so much the currency of religion that it’s sometimes easy to overlook them, but Mormons spend more of their time thinking about how to help the neighbors than they do worrying about communist teachers in the scho…

Kariuki welcomes the president’s visit but says leave “the gay talk” in America. “Let him talk about development; let him talk about cooperation; let him talk about the long-time relationship Kenya has had with America,” he said. “But about our beliefs and culture– keep off!” Obama has used previous trips to Africa to urge governments to respect gay rights. Kariuki said the open letter is a warning to the president. “The family is the…
