“Nobody Is Innocent”: David Gushee on Sexual Ethics, Suffering, and Full Inclusion for LGBT Christians

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…dually developing over a long period of time. The last chapter in the book talks in the most detail about that leap, that change in loyalties that has happened; it certainly includes learning about my sister Katy and her suffering as a deeply repressed lesbian unable to claim her own sexuality and identity and learning more recently that a major factor for her was the fear of the disapproval of her church—and actually of her brother, me. I didn’t…

Beck Visits Israel, Promotes Self as Watchdog of Anti-Semitism

By Anthea Butler

…his Israel rally, Restoring Courage. +972 Mag has great coverage of Beck’s talk at the Knesset today, highlighting his popularity with members of the Likud party, and how he met with the former chairman of an organization designated as a terrorist organization by the U.S. State Department. Beck’s appearance conveniently shrouds his previous incarnation as promoter of anti-Semitism on his Fox News television show (which had its last airing a couple…

Giving Up God—Not Just a Spiritual Stunt

By Becky Garrison

…or my own advantage. This just isn’t true and when people take the time to talk to me, I explain where I’m coming from. There are other problems with her understanding of what I’m doing—which is as much my fault as anything, and which I will attempt to address at another time. Well at first glance, your decision to live a year without God does sound like a stunt. I read A.J. Jacob’s book A Year of Living Biblically and thought it was fun. I kind o…

Alabama Senate Considers Giving Church Its Own Police Force; Irony Reportedly Dead

By Daniel Schultz

…ish this as a terrible story. Sadly, you would be wrong. There’s more: The talk began weeks – now months ago. Parents at Briarwood Christian High School began to call and write about a drug raid at the school. Students were identified and cell phones seized. It was marijuana we heard, and LSD and even heroin, right there in the school that describes its “compelling trait” as a climate “where students are spiritually and intellectually equipped to…

‘Rising Global Tide’ Of Anti-Gay Crackdowns; More in Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…that the response to the flag-waving as “swift and brutal.” Influential TV talk show hosts and newspaper columnists denounced the flag wavers as “sexual deviants” and suggested they were part of a foreign-backed plot to destabilize the country. Al Azhar University, the center of Islamic learning in this mostly conservative Muslim country, said it would be organizing sermons and lectures to “fortify youth against these deviant thoughts.” St. Mark’s…

Preachers’ Daughters Episode 4: Victoria Apologizes, Olivia is Embarrassed, and Taylor Dances Around in Silly Underpants

By Sarah Morice-Brubaker

…ow for sure that they are secondhand undies. Um, you know what? Let’s stop talking about the undies.) That’s when the church secretary walks in, tells them to knock it off, and reports the indiscretion to Pastor Ken, Taylor’s dad. Taylor later notes, quite rightly I think, that nobody seems to notice the fact that she was doing a community service project at church with her friends, including her friends who didn’t even go to the church. Anywa…

Wild Goose Festival’s (Mostly) Welcoming Spirit for LGBT Christians

By Kristin Rawls

…akker asked, “Are we not supposed to sacrifice for each other?” We are not talking about sex. We are talking about families and children. I wish pastors would not say they work on “social justice” when they don’t mean it for everyone. The real challenge of the Bible is the question, “Are you going to love your neighbor as yourself or not?” People will say, “I work on poverty” or “I work on war,” and these are terrible things, but we do not have to…

The Porn Workaround: How Christian Sexuality Websites Avoid Sin

By Kelsy Burke

…ughout the report): Ninety percent of teens and 96 percent of young adults talk about pornography in either neutral, accepting, or encouraging ways. Only 32 percent of teens and young adults report that viewing pornography is “usually or always wrong.” Teenage and young adult men are the group most likely to view porn at least weekly with 51 percent reporting that they do. (Adult women are least likely at just 6 percent). About one in five youth p…

Nonviolence, Muslim Style: From Ghaffar Khan to Tahrir Square

By Eric Stoner

…the Arab Spring is changing this negative perception of Islam? Now, if you talk to an average or semi-well informed American, you don’t have to explain yourself when you talk about mass nonviolent movements in the Middle East, because they will immediately associate that with Egypt and Tunisia. So the American image of the Middle East is changing, but I don’t think it’s changed enough. Still I think there is a lot of fear of Islam and negativity t…

New for Democrats: Non-Personhood for the Non-Rich

By Peter Laarman

…ite this, I am hearing White House factotums and leading Democratic shills talking about all the “protections” they won in this agreement: no immediate cuts to Social Security and no direct cuts to Medicare beneficiaries—only to the providers (a real piece of chicanery, that). This talk obscures the crushing reality of the deal they are about to vote through: the complete exemption of high-net-worth individuals from any kind of sacrifice, now or i…
