What Role Should Religion Play in the Public Square? — A Black Christian and a Black Secular Humanist Debate and Discuss

By Brad R. Braxton and Anthony B. Pinn

…to the organizational. I’m okay with individual Christians, for example, being guided by faith as they move to the ballet box. I, however, wonder about the church claiming space in the public arena. I’m not convinced it’s a good move. When and where has such a public presence of the church benefited those outside the “grace” of the church? What about people in the public arena who adhere to other traditions? Are they to bracket their religiously-…

Sing the Glory of the Smoke: The Spiritual History of Jazz

By Andrew Aghapour

…a jazz musician, and the book accomplishes a unique mashup of words and sound. (It even comes with its own listening guide.) Last week, The Cubit caught up with Bivins at a Durham coffee shop to discuss jazz, religion, and science, and to ask whether jazz musicians represent the ultimate in “Spiritual But Not Religious” (SBNR). You write that “religion” and “jazz” are both tricky categories to write about, and that they’re tricky for similar re…

Why are Nuns and Monks in the Streets? (Parts I & II)

By José Cabezón

…ties that the Han Chinese enjoy. They also feel as though their culture is under siege, and not simply because Tibetans are increasingly a minority in their homeland, especially in cities. Tibetans feel as though their culture is devalued and that it is steadily eroding. To take just one example—a symptom of the underlying problem, not its cause: at Tibet University in Lhasa, the only officially recognized institution of higher learning in the TAR…

McCain’s Prosperity Preacher

By Sarah Posner

…on, there are no doctrinal or membership requirements. Thousands of independent, non-denominational churches across the country preach a version of the Word of Faith doctrine, and millions of believers have incorporated at least some aspect of it into their spiritual lives. A 2006 study of Pentecostal and Charismatic movements by the Pew Forum on Religion and Public Life found that nearly half of all American Christians agreed with the statement t…

My Childhood Hobby Was Satanic, Or So They Told Me

By Joseph Laycock

…s and 1970s. What’s your next book? 2014 was a year with a lot of controversies surrounding monuments. I’m interested in the way monuments are used to inscribe particular histories and ideas of polity onto the land. I’m also interested in the way rituals are used to construct and change those meanings. The connection between ritual, sacred space, and narrative runs through a lot of my work. In my next book I plan to look at some of the controversi…

Hicksters, Stickers, and Affection: Why I Left D.C. for the Family Farm

By Timothy King

…om prison to transform urban neighborhoods through working in and managing community gardens, that millions of jobs could be created for those too often edged out of the economy by “agripreneurship,” or that local economies will be more diverse and stable if they supply a greater percentage of their own food. All of these reasons are true, in their own way. But they’re not the real reason why I headed back to the farm. To quote the great prophet o…

The Accidental Worshiper: Following the Music

By Tripp Hudgins

…Tripp Hudgins lays out the issues and asks some of the questions that will guide this exploration. We welcome your stories. – The Eds _____________ I’m not quite sure when I first read about this kind of concert-going experience, but somewhere along the line some Christian fans started referring to rock concerts as if they were religious experiences, as if going to the coliseum to hear your favorite band was like going to a cathedral for worship….

Protesting the Pope’s (Not Yet Released) Environmental Encyclical? Check Your Doctrine

By Kevin M. Lowe

…of the Compendium of the Social Doctrine of the Church, let alone read it? Compiled under the guidance of Pope John Paul II and published in 2004, the Compendium codifies and presents a body of teaching developed by popes and bishops over the course of the entire 20th century. Beginning most clearly with Pope Leo XIII’s 1891 encyclical Rerum novarum, which defended the labor union movement and called on governments to work to alleviate the sufferi…

Who’s Scared of Polygamy? A Restrained Case for the “Slippery Slope” Argument

By William E. Smith

…my during this period. Two prominent theologians penned pro-polygamy works under the Protestant principle of sola scriptura. Bernardino Ochino, the former head of the Capuchin Order and a famous Protestant convert, wrote a dialogue making a biblical case for polygamy (though he was subsequently exiled from most of Western and Central Europe for publishing it). About a hundred years later, John Milton, of Paradise Lost fame, composed his own case f…

When It’s OK to Ignore the Pope

By Patricia Miller

…“Debris, Desolation & Filth: Vote Republican.”) If early reactions are any guide, the candidates are going with some version of “the pope is a great guy, but when it comes to science and economics, he’s way out of his wheelhouse.” We got a preview of this from Rick Santorum in early June, when he said in a radio interview: “The church has gotten it wrong a few times on science. We probably are better off leaving science to the scientists, and focu…
