By C. Joshua Villines

…stants, at least, the evangelicals’ emphasis on missionary activity, their promotion of conservative moral teachings (particularly effective in Africa, where competition with Islam is so central), and their virtual indifference to Eurocentric liturgical traditions, have proved a very effective combination. But in the end, there is something very Euro-American about the elevation of cultural and political issues over more spiritual concerns. Perhap…

Ahmadinejad Aside, Anti-Racism Conference Was Deeply Flawed

By Austin Dacey

…ived up to the infamy of the original anti-racism meeting in Durban, South Africa, back in 2001 (which disintegrated into an anti-Semitic, anti-Western hate-fest that was abandoned by Israel and the United States).

Israelite ideas were popular in the Holiness movement, and played an indispensable role in the evolution of Pentecosalism, the most numerous Christian movement of the twentieth century. I could find important antecedents in the Anglo-Israelite, who had representatives both here and in Britiain, and even make a cameo in E.P. Thompson’s classic, The Making of th…

…th his black brothers of Africa and his brown and yellow brothers of Asia, South America and the Caribbean, the United States Negro is moving with a sense of great urgency toward the promised land of racial justice.

Fear of a Black President

By Jonathan L. Walton

…the surface because of the belief among many white people, not just in the South but around the country, that African Americans are not qualified to lead this great country.” Though courageous, the former president’s pronouncement will surely be considered controversial to many Republicans and Democrats alike. Some will view Carter’s comments as politically inexpedient. The topic of race in general, and charges of racism in particular, is politica…

Becoming the Common: Why I Got Arrested in North Carolina

By Willie James Jennings

…kept North Carolina from being fully captured in the Old South (or the old South Africa for that matter).

Whether in fact the emerging diversity of the state’s population will create a more robust democracy is an open question, but the current legislature does not seem willing to take that chance—their ide…

Transforming America’s Israel Lobby

By Dan Fleshler

…ewish brothers and sisters, who are with me on Darfur, who were with me on South Africa, can’t bend themselves to deal with injustice to the Palestinians,” said Reverend Dr. Susan Andrews, a former moderator of Presbyterian Church USA who dealt extensively with the American Jewish community during the divestment controversy. “I just never understood it… Part of what needs to happen is a conversation about what justice means. We need a conversation…
