RDGenerations: Youth and Liberal Religion

By Lucia Hulsether

…ays at Borderlinks, a Presbyterian organization that facilitates tours and service trips for students, church groups, and scholars on the border. They also have co-ops, kids’ camps, and food distribution centers in northern Mexico. I think the key distinction between the two organizations is clarity of vision—not only does Borderlinks have leadership structure and funding, people can state what they are trying to accomplish. This is important for…

Pope Tweeted into Retirement

By Rachel Wagner

…ind-boggling changes in communications technologies in his brief period of service. It’s no wonder he’s tired. Benedict’s wish now for a quiet retirement may be gleaned from his recent praise of “silence” in the midst of the ceaseless rush of digital information, as expressed in his World Communications Day speech of 2012: “In our time, the Internet is becoming ever more a forum for questions and answers—indeed, people today are frequently bombard…

What’s Wrong with the Controversial Businessweek “Mormon Money” Cover?

By Joanna Brooks

…) But the cover art makes those worthy questions moot. Today, I’ve been in contact with a few of the sources for the article, and they believe the mocking cover image will lead most Mormons to dismiss the entire article as an anti-Mormon hit piece. Trying to sell a few magazines, Businessweek destroyed an opportunity for a serious discussion. That’s not what any of the sources consulted for the article would have wanted. Another lost opportunity w…

Benedict’s Painful Legacy

By Elizabeth Drescher

…Duddy-Burke sees the days ahead as “an opportunity for Catholics to get in contact with the cardinals who are going to be part of the conclave and talk to them about our dreams for the Church and what we need in a new leader.” Joelle Casteix, Western Region Director for SNAP, which advocates on behalf of some 20,000 survivors and allies of those abused by Roman Catholic priests, likewise sees the action of laypeople as critical to any meaningful c…

What’s in an “Om”?: How Women are Transforming Yoga

By Meera Subramanian

…raveling partners, and (as some of the film segments show) an extension to service to a wider community. Stretch the body, still the mind, seek the union, the yoking, that is what the word yoga literally means. “Yoga is a Sanskrit word,” Michael said when I pressed him on the religion question. “No doubt about it. It’s a spiritual practice. I think people have a spiritual experience with it.” And the Om? Mantras can take many forms, find use…

South Carolina Gubernatorial Candidate Called “Raghead”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…idst the accusations from two men that they’ve had “inappropriate physical contact” with state Rep. Nikki Haley, the Palin-endorsed gubernatorial candidate, comes Knotts’ interjection: “We already got one raghead in the White House. We don’t need another in the Governor’s Mansion,” Knotts said during a live internet interview this week on Pub Politics — a laid back program usually conducted over beers in a local Columbia bar. Knotts issued an ap…

Why Roy Moore’s Evangelical Supporters Won’t Abandon Him

By Julie Ingersoll

…eschool world in recent years in which older men admitted to inappropriate contact in pursuing young (sometimes very young) girls. See the story of Doug Phillips and Vision Forum here and the stories of Bill Gothard and his Institute in Biblical Life Principles/Advanced Training Institute and Josh Duggar, here. Josh Duggar was accused of molesting young girls (including his sisters) when he himself was rather young but his targets were even younge…

A Year After the Non-Apocalypse: Where Are They Now?

By Tom Bartlett

…hours with them on the phone. Then, after Jesus was a no-show, I stayed in contact with them—the ones who would talk to me, anyway—over the following days and months, checking back in to see how or if their thinking had changed. I learned a lot about the seductive power of radical belief, the inscrutable vagaries of biblical interpretation, and how our minds can shape reality to fit a narrative. I also learned that you don’t have to be nuts to bel…

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…

“Make The Mass Latin Again”: The Pope Francis Backlash Comes Home

By Kaya Oakes

…“man crisis,” suggesting families should not allow their children to have contact with “evil” gay family members, stating that Catholic politicians John Kerry and Nancy Pelosi should be denied communion, and serving on the advisory board to the Human Dignity Institute, which invited Steve Bannon to a conference at the Vatican in 2014. More recently, Burke has remained in the public eye for his repeated criticisms of Pope Francis’ attempts at chur…
