By Deborah Jian Lee

…s that people who consider themselves religiously evangelical also have as high or higher allegiance to white supremacy. That is a fact. It was born out and manifest through the vote in the election. [Some people may] come back and say, “Well, no, we didn’t vote for Trump because he said Mexicans are rapists, or because he threw out dog whistles about the violence of black bodies. We didn’t vote for him because of his Muslim ban. No, we voted for…

By Laura S. Levitt

…ce of nature is, again, to tell the truth. For a long time, he was a larger-than-life figure not only in my imagination but in the profession. To put this plainly, he was never simply my own private provocateur and goad. My career was built on a foundation formed not only in our private interactions, but also in his classroom. That space is where he performed, in public, his belief in me. That engagement changed my life. He demanded, in public, th…

By Diane Winston

…s a baby boomer. In the ‘60s and early ‘70s, the media depicted boomers as free-love hippies and anti-establishment rebels, but those eye-catching stereotypes failed to capture the generation’s true ambition.

By Joseph Laycock

…ry into the EU, an indigenous folk practice that was once persecuted under communism has come face to face with a global economy. The Romanian “witch tax” is a fascinating study in how the forces of modernity and globalization are shaping an ancient tradition.

First Gay Bishop? Give Me a Break

By Peter Montgomery

…ey love, such as a child, aunt or uncle, or friend. He recalls making a too-flippant comment at some event asking how straight white men could “get it” in spite of all their privilege, and having a young man wait to speak to him afterward and tell him, “I have the answer to your question. We listen to you, and we believe you.” “If you get down to arguing over individual verses of scripture, you have already lost,” says Robinson. But “if I tell you…

“Those Federer Moments”: Sports, Sex, and the Gender of Grace

By Franklin Strong

…reams are important—they make up for a lot. Wallace takes the idea that out-of-shape losers watch sports for vicarious glory and ennobles it: we watch sports, he says, to participate in the beauty of our own bodies, forgotten (or unknown) though that beauty may be. In other words, while it’s obvious why young tennis players want to watch someone like Federer in his prime, Wallace wants us to think about the 40-year-old bartender who forgets his wo…

By T.F. Charlton

…astor and blogger, lambasted T4G and TGC for effectively giving Mahaney a “free-pass [for] his alleged role in the largest sex scandal-cover-up in recorded evangelical history.” In response to the May 14 amended suit, Lumpkins has proposed a “Resolution on Sexual Abuse of Children,” urging Southern Baptist churches to strengthen their policies on sexual abuse and cut ties with any leader or organization who is or has been involved in criminal or c…

A Shame-Positive Case for Keeping the Heat on Trump

By Daniel Schultz

…g John Bolton and other members of the administration who could explain in high-profile hearings just how Trump twisted American foreign policy for his own personal interests? Bo-ring. Examinations of the ways Trump is funneling tax dollars to himself and his family? Eh, not interested. Probes into which corporations are wielding influence in the administration and what they’re getting out of the deal? Nah. Finally getting Trump’s tax returns so w…

Duterte Cites Catholic Heritage in Opposing Marriage Equality, and More in the Global LGBT Recap

By Peter Montgomery

…ing that he did not take issue with anyone’s sexuality. Two of his brothers-in-law, and some of his cousins, are gay, he said. But he stressed: “Wherever God has placed you, stay there.” He noted that no one was empowered to “erase the great divide between a woman and a man.” Australia: Priest takes on ‘gay panic defense’; hate speech change debated The parliament of Queensland abolished the “gay panic” defense – a term for the theory that a strai…

Galileo’s Issue Was Satire as Much as Science

By Arri Eisen

…many Americans, integrate Galileo’s story neatly into our homegrown science-versus-religion narrative without batting an eye. But this narrative, although it’s sometimes touted as having begun with Adam, was born here only after the Civil War. And besides, it doesn’t work with Galileo at all. He was—irony again— a devout Catholic unto his end, a man whose condemnation by and forced groveling before the Church left him psychologically scarred for l…
