By Peter Montgomery

…h still prohibits same-sex civil marriage and LGBT advocates have been involved in a long campaign to demand a change in the law. While Gareth Lee, whose order was cancelled, welcomed the Court of Appeal decision, Ashers general manager Daniel McArthur expressed his “extreme disappointment”. “If equality law means people can be punished for politely refusing to support other people’s causes, then equality law needs to change,” he said as he emerge…

Silence of “Religious Liberty” Activists on Muslims’ Cases Not What You Think

By Elizabeth Reiner Platt

…e of outrage from conservatives, who have in recent years proclaimed themselves the defenders of religious freedom. In a wide range of coverage of the stories since December, I found no quotes from any of the typical pro-accommodation sources—conservative politicians, lawyers, commentators and activists. Nor could I find any public reference to the dispute by a single municipal, state, or federal elected official, or from any non-Muslim religious…

Why Won’t the President Say “Islamic Terrorists?”

By Paula Cooey

Donald Trump has tried to make much about why President Obama won’t use the phrase “Islamic terrorism”: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/665896711685087237 Although the President and I have not discussed the reasons, I can think of several good ones, at least one of which I’d like to address here. While the meaning of the term terrorism is subject to debate, let’s take for a moment the basic definition of terrorism as a strategy meant t…

Pierre Teilhard de Chardin’s Legacy of Eugenics and Racism Can’t Be Ignored

By John P. Slattery

…ist is simultaneously “the organic center of the entire universe,” “the evolver,” and the eschatological fulfillment—the Omega Point—of all creation: “Someone, and no longer something, is in gestation in the universe. To believe and to serve was not enough: we now find that it is becoming not only possible but imperative literally to love evolution.” If one believes in God, for Teilhard, one should also believe in evolution in the Christocentric u…

Perhaps Islam isn’t the Only Reason Donald Trump Didn’t Recall Muhammad Ali

By Sean O'Neil

After Barack Obama pointed out in a televised address on the San Bernardino shootings that Muslim Americans occupy many familiar social roles including “sports heroes,” Donald Trump offered an incredulous tweet: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/673741357190615040?ref_src=twsrc^tfw Most American sports fans, even casual ones, know of Muhammad Ali, whose picture has unsurprisingly graced the majority of subsequent media reports on the acc…

It Is About the Hijab: Wheaton College and the Narrowing Criteria for Evangelical Belonging

By Hollis Phelps

…in Jesus Christ alone as their Savior receive God’s free gift of eternal salvation. These shouldn’t be too surprising to anyone who knows anything about evangelicalism, and in this sense the research definition is unremarkable in terms of content. What is remarkable is the upshot. The stated hope is that the definition will provide a better, more reliable standard for understanding evangelicalism in the United States. The definition makes it possi…

What Did the Puritans Have Against Christmas?

By Bruce David Forbes

…en the Church of England broke away from Roman Catholicism in the 1500s, Calvinist reformers (those Puritans) felt that the new English church did not go far enough in removing Catholic elements. One practice the Puritans opposed was the annual December celebration of Christmas, which they saw as a Catholic innovation not justified by scripture. They claimed that the earliest Christians had no such observance (which was true, because it took more…

#ReinstateDocHawk: Wheaton Does Not Speak for Its Students

By Ellie Roth

When I decided to attend Wheaton College two years ago, I was expecting a haven of like-minded young Christian scholars. But it turns out—while Wheaton is a special and loved place—it still has a lot in common with just about any other community: We disagree on things. Outsiders may assume all students, faculty, administrators and alumnae are in agreement about Dr. Larycia Hawkins’ recent suspension—the way I assumed everyone at Liberty Universit…

By Michael Schulson

…d Mackey is separate from Mackey’s role at Whole Foods. “John Mackey’s involvement with Marc Gafni and the Center for Integral Wisdom is his personal business,” Whole Foods’ spokesperson Michael Silverman wrote in an email to The Cubit. That message echoes what Mackey posted on the Whole Foods website, in place of seven blog posts featuring videos of him in conversation with Gafni: My involvement with Marc Gafni and the Center for Integral Wisdom…

Put Your Money Where Your Mind Is: A For-Profit Meditation Studio Opens in New York

By Michael Schulson

Ellie Burrows and Lodro Rinzler had their big idea over a cup of tea. Certain details change with the telling (was it a nail salon or a hair salon?), but here’s the official version: during a teatime conversation, Burrows asked Rinzler “why there wasn’t a modern, non-religious, drop-in studio where she could meditate in the same way she could drop into a salon and get her hair done.” Rinzler, it turned out, had been thinking along the same lines….
