Finding Love—and Dogma—in Unexpected Places: Jeff Chu’s Gay Christian Odyssey

…jection from God. Having so many people talk to me about their journeys and seeing how people have persevered in their faith really helped me to remember to differentiate between the two. The journey also helped me be a little more gracious than I usually am in talking about these issues, and talking to different people from across the church. I think there have been times in my life when if you had asked me these same questions I would have been…

Nadia Bolz-Weber on Becoming ‘God’s Bitch’

…m with what I’m doing, they should shut the fuck up. The chapter where you talk about doing chaplaincy work at a hospital was quite powerful. Tell me about that experience. One thing I learned there is that I’m fairly comfortable in an emergency room or an ICU. I have no idea what the fuck to say to someone who just had shoulder surgery. I can’t do the nice chit-chat, but I realized that I can be present during to some pretty wrenching pain and re…

Hell, in Rob Bell’s Own Words: State of Belief Radio

…And think about, what have you not been asked, or what have you wanted to talk about that you haven’t gotten to talk about much? [RB]: Joy. Joy! There is joy to be experienced and had by all of us. And I have bumped into people… There was a woman a couple nights ago, a young woman, probably mid-twenties, whose young husband just died, and she’s going through all the sort of grief and all the sort of, you know, the horrible tragedy of losing your…

The Devil’s Music: How Christians Inspired, Condemned, and Embraced Rock ‘n’ Roll

…from how young men were supposed to look and to behave. There was a lot of talk about how tight their clothes were and how their hair was effeminate. But most of all, evangelicals, and some Catholics, had a pervasive fear about the hysteria that they inspired in young girls. In all of this, there was this view that teenagers looked to the Beatles as a kind of replacement for religion. And in worshipping the Beatles, they lost interest in the Bible…

Catholics Talk About Sex

…looking for a place to give birth, ’tis the season for Roman Catholics to talk about sexuality and sexual health education. As someone who spends much of my time talking about sexuality and sexual ethics with young adults on college campuses, what better place to start than Roman Catholic Universities? This month, I was contacted by Boston College students who lead sexual health and education initiatives. They are frustrated by their institution’…

We Need to Talk About Bad Religion

…ite evangelical Protestants (WEPs) talk about “religious liberty,” they’re talking about much more than that. They’re talking about political power—who controls it, who’s subject to it, how and why. This isn’t to separate good religion from bad politics. As I said Monday, these are not easily disentangled. This is to say, however, that bad politics often follows, and is subordinate to, bad religion. For many liberals and leftists, the solution is…

Election Takeaway: Fake God Talk Doesn’t Cut It with Americans

…er writes, a religious realignment, but also a moral realignment. Fake God talk doesn’t cut it with Americans. Everyone sees through it. For Glenn Beck, Sarah Palin, Rick Perry, and a host of others, the last four years have been a confidence game, a careful calculation that if they could just promote themselves, their god, their America, and Obama as a socialist just enough, the tide would turn their way and the money would flow. It didn’t. Many…

Nor do we require evidence that schools ‘promote’ other faiths. “Instead, inspectors must ensure that pupils are able to express views which are neither intolerant nor discriminatory…

God Will Not Make You Straight: An Interview with GCN’s Justin Lee

…of those things in five years or ten years, whatever.” There was never any talk about, “and then my attractions changed and I’m no longer attracted to the same sex, I’m attracted to the opposite sex.” When I would ask those questions point blank I would find out these people weren’t changing. Not only that but they push these theories. I heard over and over again that I must have had a distant father or an overbearing mother and this was why I was…
