By Elizabeth Drescher

…Communion—though less and less so in England, the United States, and other Western churches. A Rainbow Emerges from the Cloud of Whiteness In the West, Sentamu’s strident objections to women in the episcopate and LGBT persons pretty much anywhere in the Church as other but piteous sinners would be as profoundly alienating as it might be welcomed by Anglicans in more reliably conservative African, Asian, and Latin American churches.

By Andrea R. Jain

…s of India as despotic, unscientific, mystical, effeminate, and in need of Western domination, science, reason, and masculinity. Yoga became a means through which Hindu nationalists could display Indian strength and independence in response to these Orientalist representations, which were used to support the colonial project. Nevertheless, the story of yoga’s popularization doesn’t end there. Yoga didn’t become a part of popular culture until the…

Morality is Not Necessarily Good

By Hans-Georg Moeller

…t rigid moral language as it has been created, for instance, by mainstream Western moral philosophy. I think similar deconstructions can be performed in the mass media (late night Shows might help) or perhaps even at the fringes of politics (through ironic speech or ads, etc.). On a very general level, I’d say that Eastern philosophies can demonstrate the contingency of certain foundational notions of Western thought that hardly go questioned. I h…

‘Only Christopher They Acknowledge is Columbus’: The ‘Biblical’ Reason why Replacing Columbus Day is an Uphill Battle

By A. E. Brooks-Key

…lf in the “defender” role. Whether he portrays himself as the “defender of western civilization,” “defender of the Christian,” or even his continued defense of white supremacist groups, Trump’s penchant for casting himself as the messianic savior of whiteness allows him to remain beloved by his most ardent supporters and play upon their anxieties over a changing demographic landscape. In other words, Trump has turned the Jay-Z line, “I’m anti-Sant…

Forget the Pope—We Need a New Caliph!

By Haroon Moghul

…Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him. He speaks English well and is fond of Western culture, which is unsurprising considering he’s one of the few remaining staunch uncritical allies of America in the Middle East. His main talent seems to be preternatural gift at self-preservation. Also maybe some Americans will think he’s the King of Michael Jordan, and that’ll be a step in the right direction. The Bad: After a surprisingly candid interview with J…

By Alan Senauke

…and thousands of homes consumed in flames. Last year’s conflict in Burma’s western Rakhine state, also saw thousands of homes destroyed and roughly a hundred thousand people displaced—mostly Muslims—in ethnic violence between Buddhist Rakhines and Muslim Rohingyas. There has been violence on both sides. Recent rioting in Lashio began when a Muslim man attacked a Buddhist woman shopkeeper—but in each of these instances the preponderance of organize…

Novak Djokovic, Extraordinary Tennis Player, Ordinary Orthodox Anti-Vaxxer

By Katherine Kelaidis

…, this tension is about a fundamental disagreement over how to engage with Western modernity, arising from a Christian part of the world that has never been wholly Western. It’s a conflict that also highlights Orthodoxy’s ongoing problem with “rogue holy men,” who seem to inevitably take the side of the most difficult and destructive. Again, to be clear, the Orthodox Christian world’s most senior bishops have universally—whatever other disagreemen…

Christian Nationalist Bestseller Rooted in Volk, Homeland, and Patriarchy is ‘Blood Relation’ of a Certain 20th Century German Manifesto

By Bradley Onishi

…he explains his intended reader. “I am male, and am rooted ancestrally in Western Europe, and am speaking largely to a Western European male audience.” His emphasis on a common volkgeist made up of people of European descent echoes another social theorist whose life and work shaped the 20th century: “What makes a people or, to be more correct, a race is not language, but blood.” Hitler’s emphasis on the German volk and their ties to the homeland…

Secular End Times & Apocalyptic ‘Roosters’

By Gordon Haber

…odern Era, in Landes’ telling, brought the “four humiliations of modernity—Western superiority, Israel’s existence, women’s liberation, and globalization,” resulting in the bloody, triumphalist fantasies of apocalyptic jihad. While apocalyptic jihad does indeed pose a serious threat, Landes’ narrative reads like warmed-over Bernard Lewis. While we can’t completely dismiss this narrative (Christian apocalyptic texts, from Revelations to Left Behind…
