“Integrated into a Burning House?”: A Pre-Inauguration Conversation with Rev. Cecil Murray

By Anita Little

…r them to reconcile with the black church. The Southern Baptists are the only predominantly white organization that hasn’t apologized yet, but they have loosen up a little bit. We could find unity between the black and the non-black faith-based system, but it will depend upon the whites. The burden is not on us. With inauguration happening tomorrow, there seems to be a range of reactions in the black community. I’m noticing among younger African A…

Why Being “Faith Friendly” Isn’t Worth It For Democrats

By Daniel Schultz

…sentiment at right-wing Christians, but liberal Christians are more actually more likely to be active in politics. They hold voter registration drives and letter-writing campaigns. They also talk more about politics in the pulpit. (They don’t generally make partisan suggestions in worship, though.) What risk is there to the faith of Democratic voters by engaging religion in partisan battle? Is that risk worth it? Second: why, for the love of God…

Trump’s Inaugural Address Gets an “F” in American Civil Religion

By Spencer Dew

…ever forget” departs from the script of American civil religion most strongly in that it references only bleeding, remembered by those who survived. The man who belittled John McCain’s war heroism here avoids mention of those killed in action. In a speech dominated by dreadful, post-apocalyptic imagery— “rusted-out factories scattered like tombstones,” “American carnage”—this omission is all the more noticeable. But Trump’s purpose in this speech…

Politics in a Fallen World: Lying, Fact-Checkers, and the Future of Civilization

By Michael Schulson

…now they actually do. We just assume now that all politicians are essentially lying every time they open their mouth. I mean, I was a Bernie supporter, and I didn’t really think he meant we were going to get universal health care. I figured what he probably meant was that we could get the Medicare age down a bit. I suspect that’s been kind of a constant. It’s just people didn’t know, because who knew what kings were saying in the past? You didn’t…

The March for Life: Grassroots Movement or Agitprop?

By Patricia Miller

…seems to be worth more than 20,000 pro-lifers in January. And that’s exactly what the March for Life typically is: about 20,000 pro-lifers milling around Washington in January, in which case the media coverage it receives every year has actually been generous. And it’s important to note that the march is hardly some spontaneous outpouring of grassroots anti-abortion opposition. Since its start in 1974, the March for Life has relied heavily on Cat…

A New Book For Those Who Cling to a “Post-Racial” Christianity

By Brian Bantum

…ut there you wish you had written? Which one? Why? There are too many, really. But more recently Shawn Copeland’s Enfleshing Freedom is just a phenomenal book, both in its accessibility and in its depth. Of course, I am not the person who can even try to write that book, but it is something I aspire to. I also re-read Zadie Smith’s Changing My Mind whenever I start a new project to remind me that essays can be insightful, researched and beautiful—…

Trump Order A ‘Death Sentence’ For Some LGBT Refugees? Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…mosexuality amongst university students seem, for the most part, refreshingly accepting. Moreover, daily battles are being won against homophobia in society at large. Sustained campaigning by Helem and other NGOs has led most Lebanese media to adopt the term “mithli”, which derives from the Arabic root for “same”, to refer to gay people, as opposed to the pejorative terms formerly used. The most popular rock band in Lebanon, Mashrou’ Leila, has an…

“Make The Mass Latin Again”: The Pope Francis Backlash Comes Home

By Kaya Oakes

…itous drop in the number of seminarians in formation, and there are currently only 93 students enrolled. The Sulpicians were informed in October of last year “that we are no longer invited to provide Sulpician administrative leadership to St Patrick’s,” and the rector, Fr. James McKearney, was forced to resign, in a decision that “just came out of the blue for reasons that are still not clear.” Cordileone appointed new seminary staff from among th…

History Channel’s The Bible Keeps Conservatives (Mostly) Happy and Jesus White

By Paul Harvey

…should do it together.’ We shook hands and haven’t looked back.” “It really is family programming,” Burnett said. “It’s for young. It’s for old. And equally importantly it’s for teenagers.” This miniseries comes with a bevy of scholarly and popular cultural authorities attesting to its authenticity. In particular, the miniseries seeks to avoid the debacle of the medieval anti-Semitism rife throughout The Passion by treading carefully through the…

Thoughts from the “Bad Hombre” Debate

By Candace E. West

…ble. I’m not going to do anything illegal. I’m going to make them a little bit nervous.’ Of course, you can’t do ANY of that legally, because it’s the very definition of voter intimidation, which is illegal. The Code of Laws of the United States of America states that: “Whoever intimidates, threatens, coerces, or attempts to intimidate, threaten, or coerce, any other person for the purpose of interfering with the right of such other person to vote…
