…rt in Georgia will show whether legal exemptions on the basis of religious freedom are as open to the politically liberal as they are to conservatives. The trial concerns the actions of a group of Catholic peace activists, the Kings Bay Plowshares 7.

By Peter Laarman

…s acknowledgement of the realities of the misdeeds; it requires honest self-examination. Today’s spate of denials, the “many misgivings” responses coming from the liberals, and the bitter attacks on the credibility of the Torture Report all tell us that white Americans (not just the blaring and bullying Saxby Chamblisses)—and white American Christians in particular—are nowhere close to acknowledging that our ethical behavior in the Land of the Fre…

By Sarah Posner

…erry Falwell’s Liberty University. He joined religious right leaders in protesting the opening of a Planned Parenthood facility in Houston, Texas, charging that the “spirit of Herod” was behind it and that “abortion is anti-Latino, anti-black and anti-life.” He continued to align himself with the Republican Party on reproductive and LGBT issues, even as evangelical promotion of immigration reform fell on deaf GOP ears.

Sanctuary and the Second Amendment: Do Guns Deserve Special Protection?

By Rosalind C. Hughes

…more loss of innocent life.” Indeed, the tradition of sacred spaces as gun-free (weapon-free, violence-free, force-free) zones makes the use of sanctuary language in recent “Second Amendment Sanctuary” legislation curious. The turn from the use of “sanctuary” from its origins in restricting vengeance, violent enforcement, and weaponry to the protection of gun-keeping within the sanctuary borders, while rhetorically brilliant, feels particularly c…

WHO IS JEW RUN FOR PREZDNET?

By Evan Derkacz

…mply asking questions about our next potential president? Isn’t it about a free and open discourse, that quintessentially American trait? Well, here’s how you test it. When you see “Muslim” replace it with “Jew” or “Christian” (or any number of other affiliations) and ask yourself how you’d feel about receiving an anonymous e-mail with purple, tortured grammar, asking questions that are all fairly easy to answer with Google. My sample below is Jew…

…tatement, Welby said: “I am and have been fully aware of Bishop Nick’s long-term, committed relationship. His appointment as bishop of Grantham was made on the basis of his skills and calling to serve the church in the diocese of Lincoln.

Schools Should Compete for Cash, Obama Says

By Peter Laarman

…on standardized tests: as if we do not already have enough teaching-to-the-test going on, and as if America’s public school teachers were not already anxious enough about retaining their jobs and delivering good results. No one is suggesting that US public education is not in need of serious research-based innovation; the question is whether staging a race by dangling $3.6 billion dollars over the heads of freaked-out and desperate state and loca…

A History of Prophetic Black Preaching That Doesn’t Start or End With Dr. King

By Kenyatta R. Gilbert

…hopes to reconfigure the facts: clergy leaders working today are all johnny-come-latelies to a venerable tradition traceable to the message of the Hebrew prophets. We preachers who have come of age in the 21st century stand on tall shoulders and drink from cisterns and wells we did not dig. I, just as King, am a progenitor of a distinctive prophetic preaching tradition born from struggle, one that carries a justice-seeking and hope-seeking mission…
