Fired GTS Professors Go Back to Work, For Now

By Steve A. Wiggins

…quirements and communal meals, keep seminarians of all ranks in very close contact. I’m tempted to call it crowd-sourcing theology. Only, in this setting one person in this crowd may speak for all. Tensions naturally build, but Episcopalians respect hierarchy. If something goes wrong in paradise, few options for collegial dialogue exist in such a setting. An unevenly balanced, tenuous power structure makes the Dean a fulcrum between the Board (his…

Catholic College Won’t Reveal Insurer; Yet Another Contraception Accommodation in the Works?

By Patricia Miller

…nent facts about the employers’ health plan, such as who their insurer is, contact information for the insurer and what type of plan it is. Ave Maria sent HHS a letter stating its intent to opt-out of the mandate by the November 1 deadline, but refused to name its insurer or provide any other details, which could have made it liable for up to $17 million in penalties without the injunction, which is the first to specifically block the revised acco…

By Peter Montgomery

…eir sanity, and sometimes their lives”. The clients her charity comes into contact with have often “grown up knowing their lives were in danger if they were homosexual”, she says. “It’s a knowledge you have from day one – that people in your community talk about how gay people deserve violence or death, hearing about what happened to others,” says Ms Harrar. “So, though it’s not an explicit threat made to your life by one or two people, you know w…

…en of their same-sex partners if they meet certain requirements. The Inter-American Court of Human Rights in 2012 ruled in favor of lesbian Chilean Judge Karen Atala who lost custody of her three daughters to her ex-husband because of her sexual orientation.

The Sacred and the Dead: Operator, Can You Help Me?

By Maren Haynes

…has succeeded it, each portending to possess ever greater ability to be in contact and connected. Take Facebook’s succinct mission statement, for example, which nearly 80 years later echoes Pound’s sentiments: “Founded in 2004, Facebook’s mission is to give people the power to share and make the world more open and connected. People use Facebook to stay connected with friends and family, to discover what’s going on in the world, and to share and e…

Why Science Needs “Neurodiversity,” Autism Included

By Andrew Aghapour

…the same meals, and took walks at the same time every day. He avoided eye contact and social outings, ordering his household staff to communicate with him only through notes left on a hall table. Many of his contemporaries attributed these limitations to his simultaneous ability to focus on experiments with such intensity. Silberman describes other scientific innovators— including electrical engineer Nikola Tesla and theoretical physicist Paul Di…

Magic In the Daylight

By Brook Wilensky-Lanford

…d to the south of France to expose the inevitable fraudulence of the young American medium, Sophie Baker (Emma Stone). Then the tables, of course, are turned. As Crawford begins to contemplate the possibility of Baker and her “unseen world” of spirits being authentic, he and his friends discuss the seriousness of the implications (while dolled up in flapper wear at a hot jazz club). It would mean that life is not horrible, because death is not fin…

Do Dogs Have a Soul?: Taking “Creaturely” Life Seriously

…the body of a living creature, however, Dayan illuminates how her physical contact with dogs tests the boundaries of her knowledge of spiritual things. In evoking the way that dogs teach her about the life of the spirit, Dayan attributes to dogs what many refuse to attribute to anyone but human beings: something like spirit, a mind, or a soul. (Dayan is not particularly dogmatic about terms.) Many assume that the exclusion of other animals from sp…

Sacred Geography: A Queer Latino Theological Response to Orlando

By Xiomara Verenice Cervantes-Gómez

…f us know, all too well, that it is “terrorism” when the victims are white Americans—otherwise it’s simply a “hate crime.” But, then again, it can only be a hate crime if the perpetrators are white Americans, otherwise it’s “terrorism.”) Somehow the story is more easily told when we don’t have to talk about race—because no one knows how to talk about when people of color attack other people of color. But when reports refer to an attack on a “gay n…

Emanuel’s Pulse: A Plea for Black Church–LGBTIQ Solidarity

By J. Kameron Carter

…k church at its best testifies to emergent and non-exclusionary sociality, contact, and touch. Communal feeling, or feeling commune-ion, blackness is an alternate sanctum, an otherwise sanctuary, an ecology or constellation of joyous practices of re/assemblage-amid-disassemblage. Quantum communions, quantum solidarities. Orlando’s Pulse is this too. This is a moment for unequivocal black church and queer/ LGBT solidarity because antiblackness and…
