…ims of the groups themselves. We have no way to independently verify these numbers, so they should be used advisedly. Simply put, the global vision of the NAR is based on their understanding of the Great Commission text of Matthew 28:18-20, with an emphasis on “discipling nations” (28:19). International apostolic networks are therefore necessary for the apostles to lead the five-fold ministry (Apostle, Prophet, Evangelist, Pastor and Teacher) whic…

By Shane Burley

To many, last month’s brutal attack on a queer nightclub in Colorado Springs, in which five people were killed and 25 were injured, was the logical conclusion of the Right’s increasingly dehumanizing rhetoric against the LGBTQI+ community. This tragic event came at the tail end of a string of attacks from groups like the Patriot Front and the Proud Boys, who showed up at Pride events in an effort to portray queer communities as a threat, bringing…

The Spirit of January 6th: The Theology of This Seldom Discussed Movement Animates the Growing Threat to U.S. Democracy

By Frederick Clarkson and André Gagné

…ian theology with charismatic zeal into a force that cannot be stopped!” A number of scholars and journalists across a wide range of interests and concerns have written about the significance of the Latter Rain.** This is notable in light of the dearth of contemporary reporting on the Dominionism of NAR, a dearth that effectively erases the past. Of course, all of this is not entirely new. Indeed, the idea of dominion has roots in the 19th and ear…

Contrary to Popular Narrative the Supreme Court’s ‘303’ Decision Gutting Civil Rights Laws is not About an Individual Standing Up For Her Beliefs

By Andrew L. Seidel

…ded on today was entirely fabricated. It was fake. The company claimed the Colorado Anti-Discrimination Act would have forced it to design wedding websites for LGBTQ couples. But when it filed the case, it didn’t even design wedding websites. It never had. It had never been asked to when it sued. It’s never denied service to anyone. It’s not had the civil rights law enforced against it. In short, nothing happened. This case is artificial. Hypothet…

By Abigail Battles

While he expresses anger and frustration with the Church—its leaders, its rhetoric that told him his sexuality was a sin—his anger isn’t directed at God. In a poignant remark in the final episode, he realizes, “I can look at myself and begin to believe that maybe, I’m not the damaged person I thought I was. And that God…
