Personhood Leaders’ Smear Campaign Debunked

…had undermined their investigation. “You don’t release a press release and contact the media if you want to protect your children. But that’s just from a police perspective.” In a culture war against reproductive health and rights, however, drama is a key weapon. Because it works. What ultimately got a guffaw out of Investigator Spottke was prominent pro-lifer Jill Stanek’s unwarranted assertion that “whether this is deemed a terrorist attack or h…

Keeping the “Southern” in Southern Baptist Convention

…” The “take action” portion of the Commission’s website urges followers to contact Congress on the full panoply of issues that preoccupy the Republican right, representing a virtual scorecard of the Senate Republican leadership’s agenda—including urging support (last summer) for the “cut, cap, and balance” budget proposal put forward by House Republicans, and urging Congress to “stop the EPA power grab” (referring to proposals to limit carbon diox…

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

…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…

Smashing Our Idols: A Response from Evangelical Leader David Gushee

…right rejects gays and lesbians. A commenter on that post encouraged me to contact Gushee and ask if his opinion had changed. I contacted Gushee who was gracious enough to respond and offer his thoughts. He was also kind enough to give me permission to share some of his email in this essay. My starting point is an evangelical Christian identity and 15 years in leadership in the evangelical community. That community begins with a very high view of…

Shopping for Your Kids, Bioethically Speaking

…ons in the first paragraph: go to a Web site that deals in eggs and sperm, contact the brokers therein, pay for the ‘best’ eggs and sperm you can afford from the best sources (‘best’ as determined by things like the jobs and grades of those whose sperm and eggs you are ‘using’), find a fertility clinic, pay the clinic to mix the eggs and sperm and put the resulting fertilized eggs into a surrogate mom (found, for example, at the Center for Surroga…

Tajwid: To Read with Love… and Competence

…o inaccurate. As I said, I plan to go for iftar on Sunday and get some eye contact. Now that the speaker volume has been adjusted, I must say I’m in love with this recitation. No, I’m not kidding. Really. It is actually better than the al-Qushayri mp3 player. Don’t get me wrong. I am still so grateful for having that. Three days ago I figured out that I can plug it into the USB port in my car and listen to Qur’an as I run my errands. Yep, another…

Ralph Reed’s Divinely Profitable Mission: Defeating Democrats

…volved as a “divine appointment.”  Not one to think small, Reed pledges to contact 27 million conservative voters between 7 and 12 times this year with turnout messages. And he hopes to have a $100 million budget by 2015. With the Wisconsin recall election as an example, Stan describes in detail what a strategist like Reed can do with access to cutting-edge technology and the bottomless pockets of guys like the Koch brothers.

Romney: Don’t Expect a Second Speech on Faith

…the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is studiously avoiding any contact with or comment on the presidential race, continuing instead with its multi-city, multimedia “I’m a Mormon” rebranding campaign. Who’s going to handle Romney’s Mormon issues? Does the campaign need surrogates who can strike back on the religion issue? Or will all of this religion hubbub fade into the background when America comes to terms with the truly sinisterer s…

Fired GTS Professors Go Back to Work, For Now

…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…

Wal-Mart Faces a New Round of Historic Strikes… But Why Now?

…side of its rural Southern base—particularly into urban areas—it came into contact with different community values and religious cultures, with ministers like Pastor Edwin Jones of the Living Faith Baptist Church and International Ministries in Washington DC, who are already engaged with community organizing around economic justice issues.
