The Best the Largest Progressive Jewish Org Could Come Up With?

By Jay Michaelson

…t’s compelling viewing. At the same time, both the clip and Bend The Arc’s new website situate this narrative in a Jewish immigrant experience that is hardly universal. Sephardic Jews, Jews from the former Soviet Union, Israelis living in America, Jews by choice, most Jews of color, and Jews in interfaith families do not share this narrative. Of course, this history is open to all who seek to claim it, all of those groups included. But it’s curiou…

Conservative Bishops Still Mad at Pope; Oligarch Launches Orthodox Network; Yoga Won’t Change Sexuality; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…e devoted an hour upon alternative sexuality on Sunday morning. It was well-researched, sensitively presented, occasionally hilarious — like when Deepak from Ajmer said, “In Ajmer, dates aren’t like what dates are in Mumbai” — and deeply poignant. Satyamev Jayate declares in its advertisements that it has changed the way people think. This episode on queer identity may well live up to those lofty claims and we can only hope that it does, because S…

The Washington Post’s Marriage Counselor

By Sarah Posner

…begin: with the paternalism, the failure to consider that not all violence committed by married men against their families is reported, the bizarre assumption that marriage makes men more caring, committed, and less violent. Although you wouldn’t know it from the Washington Post piece, it’s worth pointing out here that Wilcox is known for research he says supports the claim that religion makes marriages better. As sociologist Darren Sherkat has wr…

By Joseph Laycock

…ildren’s ability to distinguish reality from make-believe, suggests that 12-year-olds have the same grasp on reality as adults. Kenneth Lanning, a retired FBI agent who investigated rumors of Satanic Ritual Abuse in 1992, explained that media is not the key factor and that the attack may have occurred in a moment of limited inhibition. An attorney for one of the girls has argued that his client is mentally ill and is seeking a mental evaluation. H…

Hobby Lobby, Bill Gothard, and the Submission of Women

By Sarah Posner

…(D-FL) aired them in a campaign advertisement criticizing his opponent, now-Rep. Dan Webster (R-FL), calling Webster “Taliban Dan.” In the ad, Webster is shown saying, “wives submit yourselves to your own husband” and “she should submit to me, that’s in the Bible.” Although many evangelicals adhere to what is known as complementarian marital roles, Gothard’s critics, including evangelical theologians, say his patriarchal views of gender relationsh…

Can a Church Split Truly Be Gracious?

By Adam J. Copeland

…ocused us on the gospel. The lectionary passage for the day was Matthew 4:1-11, Jesus’ testing in the wilderness. Emboldened by a commentary from David Lose, I avoided the obvious theme of temptation, and considered identity instead. While in some very real ways, with an affirmative vote the members of the congregation would soon vote to change their denominational identity, I explained that they were powerless to change their ultimate identity. I…

…arrative has inspired others to mobilize against self-declared Satanists 35-year-old Adam Daniels of Oklahoma City has been a leader for a string of short-lived Satanic groups including The Church of the IV Majesties and most recently Dakhma of Angra Mainyu. Since 2010, Daniels has been involved in organizing “black masses” or “Satanic exorcisms” at the Oklahoma City Civic Center three times. The most recent event had an audience of zero. Daniels…

Why Hipsters May Be Perfect Source for Brooklyn Occult Revival

By Joseph Laycock

…em through the magician. In this sense, it is not surprising that Brooklyn—commonly associated with Hipsters—is producing compelling magicians. The Hipster’s project of cloaking oneself in an air of aloof mystery and repurposing strange objects into emblems of one’s personal brand is excellent preparation for the magician’s craft. The real factors behind an occult renaissance may be the Twitter-fication of society, in which everything we say and d…

Latest Supporters of Messianic Jews: Duck Dynasty

By Sarah Posner

…s assertion that blacks were “happy” before the civil rights era, caused a temporary suspension of Duck Dynasty by the A&E network, and an outcry of so-called persecution from the family’s conservative supporters. In an Easter Sunday sermon this year, Robertson defended his anti-gay comments and assailed his critics, claiming the media did not understand the Bible. “Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolators, nor adulterers, nor male prostitu…

Obama’s Christianity, Cont’d.

By Sarah Posner

…faith is not being taken seriously by the right. What’s more, as I predicted yesterday, the smear campaign against Hunter shows signs of possibly going viral. I get it that the Eleison’s letter signers’ target audience is different: less hardline conservatives or center-right evangelicals who might otherwise be swayed by the right-wing smears, and who think they need a fellow evangelical to vouch for Obama’s Jesus cred. But what would the response…
