By Katherine Kelaidis

…ssian Revolution, ROCOR is known for a kind of fundamentalism that can really only survive among those who see themselves as the last remnant of Holy Mother Russia. Most importantly, in the 1980s ROCOR wasn’t in communion with any other Orthodox churches. They were renegades. And not the sort of people that pious Greek monks should have been anywhere near. And yet, it’s from ROCOR that Ephraim received his initial blessing to found St. Anthony’s….

‘We’re all in this together’: The Perils of Kumbaya Rhetoric

By Peter Laarman

…k the most pressing question that needs asking in a time of unveiling, namely: What exactly is being revealed?

Nor will the politically minded liberals who would have us believe that a “return to normal” with Joe Biden at the helm will make…

QAnon Didn’t Just Spring Forth From the Void — It’s the Latest From a Familiar Movement

By Adam Willems

…o me. In the early 20th century, white nationalism manifests as an explicitly, identifiably religious phenomenon. The Klan says, “We are white Protestants, Jesus would have been a Klansman.” What you see to some extent with QAnon—and certainly with white nationalism—is not a coherent religious coalition anymore. It’s not all white Protestants going, “We hate the Jews.” It’s a number of groups, many of them atheists, many of them non-traditional re…

High Holidays Watch: Seth Rogen’s Latest Highlights the ‘American Pickle’ of Living with Death

By Shaul Magid

…n’t really live because of his fear of death. So An American Pickle is really a pickle (only now do I understand the double entendre). The pickle is the life of the Jew in a world where we not only can afford a durable shovel but we can pay other “Herschels” to do the digging. And we sanitize our lives so that death is mostly elsewhere. In 2020 that takes some doing. The Wizard of Oz’s “pay no attention to the man behind the curtain” becomes “pay…

KGV: Everybody understands that swing states are important, but we’re not paying enough attention to what’s happening with the churches in swing states. As shown in the film, the CNP is working to network the churches, to get the chur…

QAnon’s Predictions Haven’t Come True; So How Does the Movement Survive the Failure of Prophecy?

By Amarnath Amarasingam and Marc-André Argentino

…r movements and groups and continuing their activism in ways that become only loosely tied to QAnon. Third, we may see the movement carry on as if nothing has changed. Many of these followers may instead be rejuvenated in their quest, arguing that, as their ally in the White House has been defeated, they need to come together and fight harder than ever before; that the movement is older and bigger than Trump himself, and it’s now up to them to car…

Even if Biden Wins Will We Reckon With ‘Virtuous Republic Syndrome,’ the Persistent Belief that America is a Blessed Nation?

By Peter Laarman

…Black people. Malcolm believed, correctly, that a nation choosing to be only conditionally lawful cannot really be regarded as lawful at all—and should certainly stop its boasting about equal justice under law. White people, and especially white Christians, have been living in bad faith for the entire duration of European settlement in this hemisphere. So much for the soul of America. Pundits who keep deploring how polarized our politics have bec…
