Lewis’s sense, while dismissing whole denominations for defecting from “the historic faith.”) Elizabeth Johnson, The Activist Mommy, decided to burn the offending article for “teaching children…how to be safely sodomized.” She added, “We should not be teaching children, peri…

Why White Women Are Leading Defenders of Kavanaugh

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…e and should be forgiven youthful “peccadillos.” For survivors, this paradox of exhibiting personal “integrity” while propping up racist, sexist, misogynist policies and practices is a familiar narrative. Of course, central to victim shaming and blaming is the narrative that there are fundamentally good men who never cross the line but for the slutty behavior of irresponsible women and girls. According to this view, predators are easy to spot, wea…

Gay Chutzpah: An LGBT Synagogue Thrives

By Susan Henking

…al of conducting original research in that field of social life. Though unexpectedly and to an extent against some critical opinions about my choice, I feel my CBST ethnography became the hallmark of my work. Myself, I am somewhat “schizophrenic” as my professional identity is divided between the Israeli field of research (that also made me adopt my name, Shokeid, years ago) and the more recent involvement with the LGBT field that started with my…

Blasphemy and Betrayal: The Murder of Salman Taseer

By Anna Bigelow

…ld powers, and popular devotional Islam under attack not just by militant extremists but also by groups like the Ahl-e Hadith and Ahl-e Sunnat. The entrenched nature of these challenges make it difficult to see a way forward that will bring stability and justice to a nation much in need of both. Ostensibly, Taseer’s assassin, Malik Mumtaz Hussain Qadri, killed the man he was charged with protecting because he believed Taseer to be a blasphemer. He…

Christianity and Condoms

…ul” that they crowd out any other meanings of value in regard to the complexities of sexuality and sexual behavior. Those of us who care about Christian languages and practices—languages of theology, ethics, or Biblical interpretation and practices of formation, compassion, or social justice—have some capacity to begin to create those other meanings of value; forging connections between the value-laden meanings of “Be faithful” and the value-laden…

Brits Get A Dose of Christian Nation Politicking

By Sarah Posner

…ther religious faiths, too.” (Like the Prime Minister using his office to promote his Christian faith.) But then Cameron reveals his politician’s circumspection, arguing on the one hand that advocates of “secular neutrality fail to grasp the consequences of that neutrality, or the role that faith can play in helping people to have a moral code.” That accusation is abruptly followed by the disclaimer that “[o]f course, faith is neither necessary n…

The Secret History of Easter

By Joseph Laycock

…These smug proclamations are not only irritating, they’re a disturbing index of our level of discourse about religion. Surrounding the Easter/Ishtar conspiracy theory is a toxic brew of anti-intellectualism, heresiological claims masquerading as historical ones, and simple sadism and incivility facilitated by new media. Last year, a blog called Bell Jar wrote a nice piece qualifying and largely debunking the claim that Easter is a Pagan holiday. I…

When Conservatives Turn Revolutionary

By Louis A. Ruprecht

…r stewardship of it, went awry. The reason that Napoleon is still such a vexed and vexing historical figure may be found here. He changed the map and he changed the political ideology of European politics. There was much in what he achieved to warrant our admiration: legal and political reform (the Napoleonic Code), emphasis on good governance, egalitarian virtue, human rights, and the like. If Napoleon was an emperor, then he was an emperor unlik…

…all). Want to relieve stress, get more sleep, perform better at work, have better sex, and actually pay attention to that elaborate breakup story your friend is telling you? Just meditate. Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) techniques, pioneered by medical professor and former Buddhist practitioner Jon Kabat-Zinn, have spread from hospitals to offices to the halls of Capitol Hill. But these practices can diverge, at times in very deep ways,…
