By Paul Harvey

…th some smaller Presbyterian groups that considerably increased its size in 1982), partly as a result of Presbyterian church splits in the 1960s. The relatively recent advent of the PCA as a denominational organization compelled some to ask, upon the resolution’s original consideration in 2015, whether denominations should apologize for “racial acts they didn’t commit,” since the denomination proper didn’t exist in the 1960s. But of course the his…

Same-Sex Marriage in Catch 22

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…lity, could pour into voting stations in record numbers to punch the Obama ticket—and then cast a vote for Proposition 8. To try and prevent this, Prop 8 opponents are holding informal educational sessions in black and Latino neighborhoods and talking with black clergy to try to sway the opinion of minority populations that have historically been hostile to LGBT rights—especially same-sex marriage. The stakes are high. Black voters account for 6 p…

By Kathryn Lofton

…led life.” As I sat in the theater, the lighting ebbed and flowed with each 15- or 17-minute presentation, the inhales and exhales of a room barely enduring its own exhibition. Every film included the same slow start, with an unflappable camera recording the quotidian: two African American cousins find work clearing a white man’s post-Katrina bungalow; a muscleman hefts barbells and stares at himself in the mirror; a Finnish farm wife tugs in crop…

Shucking Off The ’50s. And the ’40s. And the…

By Daniel Schultz

…relate to as how they relate. After all, social conservatives, unionists, and yes, even the rich deserve political representation, though not in today’s crapulent and apparently unchanging form. A new and more just way of being together might be just the ticket to getting the American political whale off the beach. All it would take would be a charismatic and articulate leader, who, along with a thoughtful and responsible political establishment,…

As Larry Summers Gently Sleeps: Will Obama Ever Turn Against Plutocracy?

By Peter Laarman

…banks, using bailout money to hire throngs of lobbyists to write their own ticket. Take the Chrysler mess. This week’s hot business story, in case you missed it, is about bankers and hedge funds—again including some bailout beneficiaries—wanting to pull Chrysler over the brink into a bankruptcy that would be catastrophic for workers and communities across a huge swath of the country. Why were they demanding bankruptcy? Because their bonds would be…

Fragments of Secular Sanctity

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…museum in our sense of that word—anyone, male or female, could purchase a ticket on any day the museum was open, and wander freely among the nude statues of pagan deities. Then, just twenty years later in 1754, Pope Benedict XIV created the “Naked Academy” (l’Accademia del Nudo) inside the very palace where the Capitoline collection was housed. The idea was to promote the fine arts, by providing a space in which contemporary artists could sketch…

Killing For Religion, Not God

By Haroon Moghul

…nia only happened fifteen years ago; I wish I could buy my interlocutors a ticket to Sarajevo, and answer them only after their visit. We should not forget that Europe’s violent spasms ended but very recently, and with the death of those generations who intimately recall Nazism and the Holocaust, Soviet Communism and the Gulag, it is possible the temptation to return to ugly ideologies will only increase. Recently, the Boston Review covered the ri…

New Poll Shows Gays and Lesbians Believe in God

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…have helped them put the book in its proper place – as a companion on the spiritual journey, and not its destination. The place where the study shows its greatest ignorance of gay and lesbian spiritual lives is in the question of church attendance: In any given week the research discovered that heterosexuals are the more likely of the two groups to attend a church service, attend a Sunday school class, pray to God, or read the Bible. Gay adults a…

Strippers versus Church: Cosmic Battle With Civic Consequences

By Joseph Laycock

…’s evil. Dunfee is not describing a social evil, but a transcendent one. In 1988 sociologist William Swatos surveyed a group of Christians picketing the sale of pornography at 7-Eleven. 98% affirmed their belief that there was a force of “transcendent evil” involved in pornography. For many evangelicals these kinds of protests supersede mere politics: They are acts of spiritual warfare against Satan. On the other side of the protest, good and evil…
