The Biblical Circus of William Stringfellow

By Nathan Schneider

…e W. Bush’s presidency and its constituency. You were either with the faith-based, Bible-beating “values” or you were against them. Their sense of faith-based values was structuring everybody’s thoughts. As a young searcher in the theater of religious options, I felt constrained by such a choice.

By Roy Bourgeois

…n. On November 16, 1989, six Jesuit priests, their housekeeper, and her 15-year-old daughter were massacred by the Salvadoran military. When U.S. congressional leaders announced that those responsible for the slayings had been trained at the U.S. Army School of the Americas (SOA) at Fort Benning, Georgia, I and a small group of friends returned to Georgia to investigate the SOA.

By Hussein Rashid

…hey sent that outrageous letter to the FFA and decided to pull their ads! Truly an un-American move and this is coming from a CANADIAN!!! As director, what was your vision? It’s very memorable. What were your inspirations? How is it being received? PC: Gregory loves the song “Dancing in the Moonlight” by Randy Newman.

By Sarah Posner

…t an exemption (as Olson does), if not ADF’s framing, maintain that the for-profit/non-profit distinction should not be a bar to the exemption, citing the state’s Religious Freedom Restoration Act. In other words, like in the Hobby Lobby case, even for-profit business run by religious people should be entitled to an exemption from this law. (How that will play out in court remains to be seen.) The libertarians are on the Knapps’ side; they just ob…

John McCain: No God But Country

By Kathryn Lofton

…discovery that celebrities are “just like US!” Even within this din of come-to-Jesus moments, McCain’s story is discordant, failing to supply some of the basic ingredients for a ritual confession of faith.

There are no searching first-person studies of his character, expelling moment of personal sin revealed, revelled, and renunciated. His reading…
