Glenn claims he has repeatedly requested Eastern Orthodox services since 2010. The Department of Corrections’ Religious Services Director, David Liebel, reportedly told Glenn to be patient. “Prison staff,” according to Glenn, “do not know what offenders are allowe…

Conservatives Stand Together for Anti-Gay Bigotry

By Sarah Posner

…t alone would have been enough for the SPLC to add FRC to its “hate group” list. Perkins, though, denied the group would be working to “re-criminalize homosexual behavior.” He then portrayed the FRC’s work as combatting the “attempt to. . . enshrine homosexual behavior as some protected class.” Potok emphasized that the SPLC’s decision to place a group on the list is not about criminality or violence, but is based on whether the groups in questi…

Re-branding Is Not the Cure: Campolo & Claiborne Miss the Core Problem in Evangelicalism

By Peter Laarman

…the 1930s, but Carl Henry was not really a force to be reckoned with prior to the 1940s and 1950s.

Public Prayer Verdict Shows Its True Colors

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…scene. Apparently in Greece itself, atheists may fall on the “assemblies” list thanks, you guessed it, to their local branch of the Sunday Assembly. So, ok, fine. It’s really the “religious perspective” part of Greece’s policy that should cause shivers in the heart of anyone who still believes in the separation of church and state.

…experience exactly what he does. In addition to that, when Paul provides a list in 1 Corinthians 15:3-8 of the people to whom Jesus appeared he not only uses the word ‘appeared’ four times, which is standard for a vision, he includes himself in that list. Paul sees the experiences that the other followers of Jesus had of Jesus after his death as belonging in the same category as his own. Finally, for me the question isn’t whether or not the resurr…

Lying Boldly: Louise Hay and the Problem of Religious Science

By Peter Laarman

…ding? That must be your “anger and frustration” talking. Hay included this list in her 1984 breakout book, You Can Heal Your Life, which ultimately sold more than 35 million copies after her work with AIDS patients in LA—including the notorious Hayrides—won her celebrity via the Oprah and Donahue shows.
