Then, charging that “many of the problems we see in the world today” have been created by liberals since the 1990s, he proposes that the future will be “the era of sovereignty” where every nation has the right to “dictat…

…s model—even though it’s ancient and in some ways even more beautiful than Western notions of sin and grace that we’ve inherited.

America, the Mythical: “Mother of Exiles” or Denier of Safe Haven?

By Ed Simon

…England were arguably among the most educated people in the history of the western world. Drawn from an upwardly mobile yeoman class, and populated by ministers, scholars, and merchants, they were some of the most unlikely candidates to forge a new civilization in the frontier wilderness. Yet their propensity to interpretive obsession led them to be their own first chroniclers, none more so than Bradford in his Of Plymouth Plantation. Initially th…

Liberals Agree, Israel is Greatest Thing Since Sliced Challah

By Shalom Goldman

…mium for the Jewish state: It is, for its region in particular, a model of Western values, a country in possession of a robustly independent judiciary; a boisterous, appropriately unkempt press; a mature and activist civil society; and an assortment of fearless and effective human rights organizations.

Guinean Cardinal Robert Sarah linked the push for gay rights to abortion and Islamic extremism, comparing them all to what “Nazi-Fascism and Communism were in the 20th century.” The vehemence of the backlash has shocked even some moderate conservatives, and it has suggested the rise of a tea-party-like faction of bishops wit…

By Sunnivie Brydum

…to get through those challenging moments when one is located in the UMC’s Western jurisdiction, formally called the Mountain Sky Episcopal Area, the bishop acknowledges. More than any other UMC region, the western jurisdiction celebrates the diversity that sets it apart from more conservative regions.
