Alabama’s IVF Ruling Reveals Deep Ties to This Increasingly Influential Christian Right Movement

By Annika Brockschmidt

…ucture for prayer, intercession and spiritual warfare. This goes back to efforts that Peter Wagner [made] when he was working with Cindy Jacobs in the 1990s. […] One of the things that I found was that Tom Parker in 2003 was already in conversation with some of these NAR folks in Alabama. Because he was the aide to Roy Moore. There’s a relationship there. And they’re saying he is helping kind of bridge the gap between Roy Moore and then our moveme…

Tea Party 2.0, Ready For Post-Election Launch

By Julie Ingersoll

…hey distributed “6 million voter guides, 8 million mail pieces, 15 million phone calls, 500,000 doors knocked on by volunteers, and radio advertising covering 56 congressional districts and 22 U.S. Senate and gubernatorial races,” they are now (apparently as I write this) surveying voters to learn “who went to the polls and why.” Instructive for those of us who follow the influence of the religious right on the tea party movement (arguing that it’…

Introducing the Dr. Who Media Club

By James F. McGrath

…veler. His time machine is the Tardis, which looks like a police box—think phone booth—but it’s bigger on the inside than the outside, can fly, and may actually be a living creature. He adventures through time and space, usually accompanied by one or more human companions who assist him in righting wrongs, liberating the oppressed, fighting alien menaces, and averting unspeakable disasters. His alien origins give him a sharp mind and extraordinary…

If You Were Faced With Him

By Amina Wadud

…picked up quickly and loaded the dishwasher, I said yes. Then I checked my phone. Like many people, I keep it on silent unless I’m expecting a call, so I missed a called from my youngest daughter. Instead she left a text message. It read: “your hajj packgat came” (sic) I burst out crying. So much so that my other daughter came forward and said, “What’s wrong?!” I couldn’t speak. I just showed her the text message and cried and hugged her. To her c…

How Do We Break the Cycle of Religious Violence in South Asia?

By Sunita Viswanath

…th our lives.” His recollection hinted at something deeper: It can be uncomfortable to acknowledge that your religious community can be an aggressor in one country and a persecuted minority in another. Unfortunately, most Hindu organizations in the diaspora have ignored this uneasy truth. Rather, many of these groups condemn anti-minority violence when it’s committed against Hindus, but then make excuses for anti-minority violence when it’s commit…

Who’s Accusing Who of Mormon-Baiting?

By Joanna Brooks

…nywhere. Is anti-Mormonism real? Yes. But even if one poorly-trained rogue phonebanker veered off script into an anti-Mormon ad lib, it does not make for a concerted anti-Mormon effort. (Leave that to orthographically challenged “Heaven is Easy” ministry in Florida.) May cool heads prevail as the race heats up in its final weeks. After all, spinning hearsay into broad anti-Mormon conspiracy in order to tar your political opponents is Mormon baiti…

Whose House? Their House: Just Who Was Held Accountable for the 1/6 Insurrection is Telling

By Susannah Crockford

…nnection with the attack in a wide-ranging investigation and prosecution effort. Rioters came from at least 46 states (with the most coming from Florida), had an average age of 41, and were predominantly male. Of these 719, one has stuck out prominently, and faced more consequences as a result. Jacob Chansley, also known as Jake Angeli, the Q Shaman, has spent 310 days in solitary confinement so far, and was sentenced to a total of 41 months in ja…

The End of Jewish Education As We Know It?

By Benjamin Weiner

…piritually compelling material. (This is in contrast to more commonplace efforts to scare Jews into belonging.) In one sense, this parallels the thinking of the early-20th century and the search for a compelling educational program with which to foster Jewish identity. The difference is that now educators are dealing with a much more fractured community, and the diminished likelihood that anything as cohesive or coercive as full-on Hebraist-Zionis…

As a Queer Catholic Woman I Had High Hopes Before the 2023 Catholic Synod on Synodality

By Emma Cieslik

…elt that little sacristy door slightly creak open as I fumbled to dial the phone to call my mom. Was this it? Sadly, no. My excitement faded as I followed the livestream of the Synod of Bishops, punctuated by anger as I read the summit’s 41-page report. This past Friday I saw New Ways Ministry’s statement, “Synod Report Greatly Disappoints, But We Must Have Hope,” while walking down a busy DC thoroughfare. In it Francis DeBernardo, executive direc…

…the West. Gender issues are not important,” he said. (The recording of the phone call can be heard at the end of the documentary Life in the Shadows: Silent Suffering in Myanmar’s LGBT+ Community.) Win Htein has become well known among foreign journalists in Burma for his cantankerous dismissal of questions about the country’s persecuted Muslims, but at least he has enough respect for the gravity of that issue not to find it hilarious. Mexico: Ant…
