By Frederick Clarkson

…Equivalence? But much of the hearing focused on the inadequacy of both the American and the United Nations’ response to the crisis.

By Meera Subramanian

…tle sign if they don’t wish to be touched, but one girl who is open to the contact is extended in child’s pose, the front of her body pressed against the floor, arms reaching out. The teacher comes up behind her and gently presses down on her sacrum—a Latin word derived from the Greek hieron osteon or “sacred bone”, from the belief that the soul resides there. I have known the positive jolt of electricity that I have felt in yoga classes when a te…

By Anthea Butler

…was allowed to continue priestly duties throughout the diocese, including contact with children, even though hundreds of photographs of children were discovered by the Bishop on Ratigan’s laptop. The pictures including upskirt pictures of girls and pictures of a young girl naked from the waist down. While Kansas City priests tiptoed around the news in masses on Sunday, there is no doubt that the indictment is another warning shot aimed at the enc…

Romney: Don’t Expect a Second Speech on Faith

By Joanna Brooks

…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…

By Sarah Posner

…ransmitted diseases, which she asserts are transmitted from “skin-to-skin” contact. She insists that condoms don’t protect “all this extra area at the base of the penis and the scrotum” and “all the woman’s area.” All of this, of course, is a lecture for abstinence. “Nobody ever died from not having sex,” says Miral. Transforming Cities for Christ Welch says his pastors’ councils—replicated in a handful of other cities in Texas, as well as Sacrame…

Where’s Wallnau? A NAR Apostle Takes Aim at Swing Counties in ‘The Battle for the Mountain of Government’

By Frederick Clarkson

…ump’s spiritual advisor, Apostle Paula White-Cain who heads the Center for American Values. (She also leads the Trump campaign’s National Faith Advisory Board, an AFPI partner in targeting the 19 counties.) Wallnau says seven states are key. AFPI says nine. Apparently, the lists of the fateful 19 counties have diverged as they’ve evolved. In any case, the criteria are that they’re suburban swing counties with a population of 400,000 or more, and w…

By Sara Tillinger Wolkenfeld

…connection when we do reach out, and AI fails to provide that soul-to-soul contact. Jewish authorities accept writing as a viable mode of transmission rather than lose knowledge to the inconsistencies of human memory. Yet even while accepting this technological shift, they make sure to place value on the human transmission that’s being at least partially replaced by this change.

As the Right Peddles a Conspiracy About Trans People and Easter, A Reflection on the Spiritual Nature of My Gender Transition

By Ryann Croken

…me, but rather moves through me—like wind—and I can only really come into contact with the world around me when I allow this to happen. To me, that’s what “the sacred” is, most poignantly: It is the fact that our deepest inner beings are enmeshed in an embrace with the broader fabric that stretches across time and distance. It’s the paradox of finding your home precisely in the flux of change and transformation, and of looking and recognizing—aga…

By priming this sense of embattlement, the micropolitics of fascism in its addictive, fleshy, intimate form, is interconnected to the macropolitics of fascism in its violent, dominionist, spectacular practice.
