…live performance of the song, drawn from the words of Psalm 40 itself, at Colorado’s Red Rocks amphitheater many years ago. That night Mr. Sheehan had tried to get the audience to join in on the refrain, “How long to sing this song?” by singing it into a mic himself—one, pure, solo tenor shouting into the void. On this night more than 25 years later, wide awake, drenched in grief and grace, the audience robustly obliged, repeatedly echoing Mr. Sh…

By Chrissy Stroop

…churches and evangelical Christian schools I attended in Indianapolis and Colorado Springs, and of people associated with them. When it comes to LGBTQ issues, instead of quoting the marginal Burton I might well have quoted Franklin Graham, who recently said: So I would encourage churches – preach the gospel, proclaim the gospel, and take a stand against wickedness.

…ion doesn’t sound so different from today’s correctional institutions. The number of mentally ill inmates is on the rise, as public psychiatric institutions lose funding.

Debt imprisonment no longer exists, but the burden still falls disproportionately on the marginalized: discriminatory policies throughout the justice system me…

Is the Pope’s Concern for Immigration Just a “Numbers Game”?

By Megan Sweas

…for migrants either as a personal interest of Pope Francis or as part of a numbers game discounts the moral and religious reasons behind the Catholic Church’s actions. Also implicit in the latter explanation is the misperception, common to many American observers, that the United States is at the center of the church’s concerns.

…e gunman who shot twelve, killing three, at a Planned Parenthood Clinic in Colorado Springs. It is in the deadly shootings of African Americans by police officers and in the militarization of police forces. These are all stories about men, but they reveal more than just that men are prone to violence. Instead, they tell us a great deal about contemporary masculinity, something we’ve explored as we’ve tried to understand how men make sense of thems…
