…ion from debauchery to Christ when she was a teenage rock rebel in Durban, South Africa. (Rory is South African; Wendy was born in the U.K. but also raised in South Africa.) First introduced to Christianity at a Billy Graham Crusade, Wendy claims to have come face to face with Jesus while performing with her rock band at a Durban night club. “A few days after her Damascus Road conversion,” reads her biography on the web site for her book, Journal…

America, the Mythical: “Mother of Exiles” or Denier of Safe Haven?

By Ed Simon

…in London is the place where “America was born” as Plymouth Rock in Massachusetts. Of course there is no real moment when “America was born.” That a pub in South London is as suitable a christening place as a beach in New England speaks to the arbitrary power of myths. As concerns the religious separatists of 1620, legend can be as potent as fact. The pilgrims, and later the Puritans, constitute an origin mythos for American identity. The pilgrims…

Bree Newsome and the True Meaning of Civil Disobedience

By Sarah Posner

…south have been set aflame in what authorities believe are arsons, as the south is belatedly addressing its long-standing reverence for the flag used to support slavery, Jim Crow, and segregation—it is mind-boggling to see these activists compare their opposition to people who are in love getting married to the struggle for freedom and equality for black people in this country. Yet Brian Brown, in a statement for the National Organization for Mar…

…r, would still be drinking from a different water fountain that me here in South Carolina.” The auditorium erupted in applause and the man backed away from the microphone. My point had been made, and continues to be made in new polling data from the Pew Research Center on interracial marriage. The good news is that nearly two-thirds of those polled say it would be fine “if a member of their own family were to marry someone outside their own racial…

Fighting Demons, Raising the Dead, Taking Over the World

By Bruce Wilson

…rth as spiritually enervated and morally corrupt. The reality of the North-South dynamic is far more complex—there is cross-pollination these days between Christian traditions in the Global South and in the developed world, with African evangelicals aggressively moving to develop their own missions in Texas, Ukraine, Moscow, and elsewhere. The original Counter-Reformation did not originate in Europe’s developing colonial holdings but, rather, in t…

By Brentin Mock

…ecial interest in collaborating with environmental groups such as the Deep South Center for Environmental Justice, the Sierra Club, and the Louisiana Bucket Brigade. The Deep South Center connection was crucial as many of its leaders are African Americans who reside in the New Orleans East neighborhood where the Vietnamese community is found.

Gay and Lesbian Candidates Win Primary Victories

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…oiled down to the issue of gay marriage. Barkley supports it but Dini, because of his religion he says, does not: “While he supports traditional marriage because he is a Muslim, he said, his personal views wouldn’t affect his votes in the Legislature. He said same-sex marriage is an issue for voters to decide, not legislators.” So, while gay and lesbian candidates of all stripes seem to be able to win elections, even outside of California and in m…

Eid on 9/11 Anniversary?

By Haroon Moghul

…bumping into tourists, every few days, who’d ask: “which way’s north?” Or south, or east, or west. I’d smile, and turn south, and point out the World Trade Center. I’d tell them: Just keep an eye on that, and you’ll always know where to go. But there was just smoke, and it stole more and more of the sky, overcoming that beautiful September morning with a sick smell. If Eid ul-Fitr falls on the anniversary of that day, it will be an especially dif…

Beck’s “Dream”—Our Nightmare

By Julie Ingersoll

…for racist policies, because “just one type of Southern whites were the cause of the problem, Southern racists whites.” Rather, he argues, we should, lay the responsibility for racism at the feet of Democrats: Current writers and texts addressing the post-Civil War period often present an incomplete portrayal of that era… To make an accurate portrayal of black history, a distinction must be made between types of whites. Therefore, (it would be) m…
