Is Criticizing Mitt Romney an Excommunicable Offense? No.

By Joanna Brooks

…n with his own gaffes and without the help of Mormonthink.com). This is about the difficult place where a Church that feels it sometimes must protect itself against its own members meets members who feel they sometimes must protect themselves against their own Church. As the Catholic abortion rights advocate Frances Kissling wrote of her own persistent fears, “No Catholic, however rebellious and irreverent, wants to be excommunicated.” Same goes…

By Frederick Clarkson

…rts in the movement. One such group called Church Voter Guides, launched in 2021 by former Colorado Springs megachurch Pastor Steve Holt, targeted some of the same school board races as the Truth and Liberty Coalition.

That Jew Died For You… Dot Com

By Evan Derkacz

Below is a new little Easter greeting from the good people at Jews for Jesus (aka evangelical Christians) called, tastefully enough, “That Jew Died For You.” (Note to self: thatjewdiedforyou.org still available.)

Lamb-of-God chops. Wood-smoked bacon.” Th…

…e whole congregation. Thus, the issue was not, the SBC argues, Saddleback’s 2021 decision to bestow upon three women the title of pastor—and technically they are, of course, correct. Although, it must be noted, even this development led to an initial investigation by the SBC Credentials Committee and prompted statements from the outgoing SBC president and all four candidates for his replacement, all of whom affirmed their conviction that the Bible…

Has American Conservatism Abandoned the Christian Right?

By Bradley Onishi

…cles and a fellow at the National Review, put it this way: “Conservatism in 2021 means radicalism. We have to think of ourselves as counterrevolutionaries or restorationists who are overthrowing the regime.” While Hochman’s approach is jarring, there’s nothing novel about it. In 1964, Barry Goldwater, the GOP nominee for president, proclaimed that “extremism in the defense of liberty is no vice” and “moderation in the pursuit of justice is no virt…
