By Gary Laderman

…to be reckoned with and has myriad forms of expression, commitment, moral codes, and values—just like global Christianity. In the U.S., Muslims are increasingly part of the social landscape, with mosques, community centers, and public figures (including the first Muslim Miss America and the easy reelection of one of the two Muslim members of Congress) who contribute to the fabulous religious mosaic that characterizes the best of American values….

Too Late for Apologies: Three Steps the U.S. Bishops Should Take to Prevent Another Sexual Abuse Scandal

By Grant Gallicho

…regular basis. Many bishops do, but not all. In the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico, for example, the chair of the review board recently admitted that the bishop has never met with the board. The relationship between a review board and the bishop should not be adversarial or distant. Review boards are meant to help a bishop do his job. Second, standardize review-board procedures. Not all review boards are created equal. In Philadelphia, for example…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…the malignant free-market madness that US conservatives have successfully promoted for four decades. Known (and much loathed) abroad as the “American model,” or the “Washington consensus,” this is the Friedman–Greenspan regime of total deregulation wherein the public, in effect, subsidizes big capital to work its high-growth wonders to the ostensible benefit of us all—that chimera known as the trickle-down effect. Because Americans live in a kind…

Immigration Reform According to Ralph Reed’s Bible

By Peter Montgomery

…. Other measures should include funds for enhanced security along the U.S.-Mexico border. Modernizing the visa system to track those who overstay visas and fully implementing an E-Verify system to verify workers’ identities will further enhance security.

Atheists are Americans Too, Vuvuzelas, Etc.

By Michael J. Altman

…e opponents argue that the answer should be education not legislation. In Mexico, Time reports, La Familia Michoacana mixes fundamentalism with drugs, violence, and political corruption. The cartel’s leader, Nazaria Moreno—AKA El Mas Loco—has written his own Bible and leads prayer meetings. A conservative pastor in Minnesota, who was outed by Lavender Magazine, will likely keep his job. Rev. Tom Brock had been publicly critical of the Evangeli…

Data-Mining The Denominations: The Southern Baptists in Four Charts

By Daniel Schultz

…lmost 50,000 members in Missouri alone in that time, another 45,000 in New Mexico, and Florida, 12,000 in Washington D.C. Reading through the data, the conclusion seems inescapable: over the last half of the 20th century, the Southern Baptists enjoyed remarkable success in expanding out of their traditional turf. But in the early part of this century, that momentum stalled, and now they’ve started to give ground back. Were it not for the growth in…

By Joseph Laycock

…international phenomenon. Last November, nearly 10,000 people assembled in Mexico City to imitate the living dead, though Russia has attempted to suppress the spreading zombie phenomenon.

It is not entirely clear why the city decided to shut down the zombie parade, but it appears to have been in response to a coalition of relig…

Harry Jackson Shakes Religious Right Money Tree for “Below the Radar” Anti-Obama Campaign

By Peter Montgomery

…ircumspect, perhaps because he is asking for checks to be made to his self-promoting High Impact Leadership Coalition, whose website says it is a 501(c)(3) organization and which seems to operate as a ministry of his church. Jackson said on the call that his campaign “really is a defense of marriage strategy” designed to make sure whoever is president cannot change the definition of marriage. But later in the call he spoke admiringly about strateg…

Unauthorized Catholic Immigrants will Renew a Christian America, Archbishop Says

By Marie Friedmann Marquardt

…No Longer: Together on a Journey of Hope,” co-written with the bishops of Mexico, and broadly referenced by Catholic advocates for immigration reform as he foundation of their action. (See a summary of that document, and a good example of the approach taken by most Catholic advocates on the issue of immigration reform—which differs significantly from what you will read below—here.) In this capacity, the archbishop is required to dive into the pol…
