By Chrissy Stroop

…om” of Christian institutions to discriminate against members of the LGBTQ community. Tenured faculty have been fired; pro-LGBTQ voices on campus have been silenced. According to Miller, however, this victory for Lindsay and the Evangelical establishment is a Pyrrhic one. Jonathan Orbell has made a similar argument here on RD, noting that Evangelicals’ “us vs. them” ethos comes with a cost. Have American Evangelicals arrived at a new Scopes “Monke…

By Hussein Rashid

…spaces like dargahs and jama’at khanas. Ultimately, the report reveals how complicated the community is by showing that the debates around inclusion have more depth and a longer history than is readily apparent, even to those within the community. In their letter urging American Muslims to stand up for the LGBT community, Aslan and Minhaj wrote that “Challenging the status quo for the betterment of society is one of the very foundations on which I…

From One Clerk To Another: Kim Davis Got It Wrong

By Carlos Wilton

…work as an elected public official. One has to wonder what — as a divorced-and-remarried person herself — she would make of a devoutly Roman Catholic county clerk who refused to issue marriage licenses to divorced citizens. This intellectual sleight of hand arises from Ms. Davis’ second mistaken viewpoint. She clearly regards Christianity as the de facto national religion, despite the First Amendment to the Constitution and numerous judicial case…

Grab ‘n Go – Investigative Thriller Follows Covert Efforts to Control the Source of Life But Comes Up Short on Analysis

By Peter Laarman

…cknowledgement that an emergent Western capitalism, along with its imperial-cum-settler-colonial auxiliary, got the resource wars going as far back as the 16th century. It started with spices; then it was gold and silver; then sugar and cotton; then oil, bauxite, rubber, etc. And now it’s the very building blocks of life itself. Leave aside the politics. The film’s intention was to find and name bad actors. Its makers found a few, and it’s all qui…

Endangered Speeches: Why It Matters (For All of Us) That Conservative Seminaries Are Firing Professors Over Theology

By Steve A. Wiggins

…nd doctrinal issues where the professor and the institution did not see eye-to-eye. These follow the similar expulsions of Christopher Rollston and Peter Enns in recent years. There are actually many more; it’s easy to lose count. Professors lose jobs all the time, but these are special cases. Tenure was instituted in higher education to protect faculty from threats should they come to conclusions out of sync with their school. It used to be calle…

After Her Remarks Pope JPII Was Never the Same — Controversial, Beloved Sr Theresa Kane’s Effect on the Catholic Church Endures

By Mary E. Hunt

…are made poor and consigned to the margins. Contrast that with a wet-behind-the-ears, Roman-collared seminarian ordained on Saturday and unleashed on a parish on Monday morning. No wonder bankruptcy, poor preaching, inadequate pastoral care, and dwindling congregations are increasingly normative in Catholic churches. No wonder new, community-based models of church and new job descriptions for ministers are replacing the old. In Mercy circles, “int…

By The Editors

…Shortly after Reza Aslan and Hasan Minhaj’s, “An Open Letter to American Muslims,” was first published on RD this past Tuesday, it became clear that it had launched a critical discussion across the United States. But now, as the subject of BBC’s “World Have Your Say” program (sorry, programme), the letter has jumped our nation’s borders and launched the discussion across the world:…

Liberals Need Not Choose Between Sexual Abuse Survivors and the Religious Minority Communities That Failed Them

By Afzal Upal

…id, “the word of wisdom is the lost property of the believer, so wherever they find it, they are most deserving of it.” In other words, the fact that these guidelines were first developed in the West shouldn’t prevent Ahmadis from adopting them. Ahmadi children expect and deserve an abuse-free environment. Liberals around the world need not choose between protecting a minority religion and the children within it. By supporting those who are speaki…

What’s in a Name? Religious Nones and the American Religious Landscape

By Richard Flory

…on its current usage and popularization, it would appear as though it is a completely new designation for a growing segment of the American population—those who are unaffiliated with any religious group. What has caught everyone’s attention is that there has been a significant and sustained increase in the number of people who are choosing not to identify with any religion. As reported by the Pew Research Center, in 2007, 16 percent of American ad…

As a Latina Millennial I Have to Ask, Does the Catholic Church Stand a Chance?

By Fabiola Carrión

…failure of churches to respect this right will mean that fewer of us will feel comfortable within their walls. Millennials are delaying marriage and finding alternative ways to form families. With a church that establishes rigid limits on how one should create a family, its impositions collide against a major cultural shift that has no signs of slowing down. The Catholic Church has shown the ability to evolve. When asked about gay priests, Pope F…
