“We All We Got”: The Black Church As an Oasis in Baltimore’s Food Deserts

By Kasai Rex

…n’t—keep them safe. In Baltimore, symbolic gestures on the pulpit are best complemented by concrete actions in our streets. In coming years the black church’s role in the struggle for justice might be less pivotal than it may have been in earlier eras. It remains to be seen whether the engagement of black churches in issues that directly affect black people will call more people to the pews on Sundays. But if these actions are consistently success…

Is Accreditation of Religious Institutions a “Farce”?

By Eric C. Miller

…ges, Dayspring and its ilk lay claim to specious exemptions, hoping to overcome their inferiority complexes through special considerations. Intellectual distinction is a major concern for many Christian institutions, academic and otherwise. Particularly since the 1995 publication of (former Wheaton professor) Mark Noll’s The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, many in evangelical Christian circles have worked hard to improve their academic credential…

Pussy Riot Members Sentenced to 2 Years for Offending Russian Orthodox Church

By The Editors

…e Old and New Testaments, supports the search for truth and a constant overcoming of the self, overcoming what you used to be. Christ didn’t associate with prostitutes for nothing. He said, ‘I help those who have gone astray and forgive them’ but for some reason I can’t see any of that at our trial, which is taking place under the banner of Christianity. I think the prosecutor is defying Christianity. The lawyer wants nothing to do with the injure…

Confession is Not Conversion: Giuliani’s Bizarre Comparison of Trump to St. Augustine

By Candace E. West

…everity of his transgression (for lack of a better word), and could barely complete his apology before changing the subject. Predictably, some found this approach uncompelling, and wondered if he could truly show remorse in the time leading up to the debate. He could not. Trump’s pre-debate press-conference-theater, in which he invited journalists to hear statements from Bill Clinton accusers, might have been the first real surprise for me since t…

Purity Culture is Also About National Purity: Anti-Asian Hate and Purity Culture [Audio]

By Bradley Onishi

…p racial, ethnic, and nationalistic purity into equation.” https://twitter.com/BradleyOnishi/status/1372218576518619148 As my co-host says, focusing on the purity of the individual body leads to trying to purify the national body. Purity culture is a step away from a pure national body. A body whose borders are not breached by foreign invaders, including sexual tempters and those of low morals. If purity culture puts undue pressure on women to rem…

Contrary to Popular Narrative the Supreme Court’s ‘303’ Decision Gutting Civil Rights Laws is not About an Individual Standing Up For Her Beliefs

By Andrew L. Seidel

…s, creditors, and obligations. Forming a corporate entity, such as an LLC, comes with immense benefits. But also some strings, especially once it opens itself up as a place of public accommodation. Businesses must follow health regulations and environmental rules. And obey other regulations that keep consumers safe, including civil rights laws. Until now. The court just upended that system. You’re unlikely to hear about LLCs and corporations and t…

SCOTUS’s Incoherent ‘Masterpiece Cakeshop’ Decision

By Daniel Schultz

…t its wide margin, in contravention of the English language, subtlety, and comprehension skills. Mook is as mook tweets, I suppose. The ruling itself doesn’t directly give a green light to religious discrimination, though that’s surely cold comfort to those it affects. Anthony Kennedy, writing for the majority, appears to have concluded that the state of Colorado copped an unusually hostile attitude toward the Christian beliefs of Masterpiece’s ow…

Catholic ‘Soul-Searching’ as Ireland Votes on Marriage; Churches, American Activists Join Kenyan Anti-Gay Group’s ‘Family’ Confab; Indian Mom Seeks Spouse For Gay Son; Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…before they managed to unfurl any banners or chant any slogans…. The LGBT community has come under increased pressure in Russia as President Vladimir Putin has charted a more conservative course since starting his third term in 2012. A 2013 law against gay “propaganda” sparked an outcry among Russian rights activists and in the West. But partly reflecting the influence of the Orthodox church, many Russians back the law or have negative feelings t…

Coming Out on a Christian Campus, Then and Now

By Ed Madden

…ing stories on The Huffington Post and on the New Yorker blog. A couple of comments kept coming up. Repeatedly, people kept asking, “Why would you go to Harding if you’re gay?” Even alumni, though, would ask why these GLBT students chose to attend there, or why they couldn’t or wouldn’t leave? The question is unfair. So many factors—funding, family, a deep connection to the religious culture—could place a student at Harding. While more and more st…
