By Sarah Posner

…spokesperson told me last year that the Inspector General “did not find evidence that USAID funds had been spent on direct lobbying for or against abortion.” For Smith, though, and the other anti-UNFPA, anti-Planned Parenthood crusaders, the model family is something like the 19-kid Duggars—let God’s hand, not some pesky birth control—guide your life.

RFMH is, by its own admission, directed towards insiders. Its goal, as the title states, is to look at the complexity of Mars Hill’s rise and fall but also to tell a “story about the mystery of God working in broken places.” This marks it as a different kind of analysis than can be found in the pop…

Bishops vs. Nuns: Who Spoke for God in 2010?

By Eugene McMullan

…horized opinion of the institutional Church can be an outdated, inadequate guide—especially when it comes to issues that the Church’s theoretically-celibate ruling caste does not really understand because they lack the wisdom born of mature experience. Nuns may not always have the expertise the bishops lack, but they do have the hearts of the people, and the vast wisdom accumulated through their work in schools, hospitals, clinics, and shelters.

Queer Repentance: On Not Surrendering to a Text, to Guilt, or to Habit

By Jay Michaelson

…there may be a pleasant sense of lust, but it’s not integrated; it’s ungrounded. Unlike the sense of groundedness that is attachment, that so closely resembles guilt, and that is tied to specific norms and behaviors, there is a form of resting in consciousness itself, and in a mode of consciousness that is ever-present. The phrase “resting in the present moment” carries a slight whiff of the New Age, but what it means is that the mind has been pr…
