How Trump’s Assertion of “Power to Pardon” Tramples the American Sacred

…understood as multiple, layered, a matter of negotiation. Look at the star-shaped constellation on our nation’s Great Seal, signifying both America’s place in the firmament of international sovereigns and the distinctive American sovereignty formed by a union of sovereign states and sovereign citizens. So much sovereignty is messy, loud, characterized by contestation and, often, gridlock. It’s the opposite of Carl Schmitt’s Nazi dream. But, since…

Defending the 1%, Evangelicals Ignore Greed

…her support. Like Duffy, Becker dodges any substantive discussion of greed-as-sin, instead treating the massive consolidation of wealth like a personality trait, something people are rather than something that they do. God loves everyone, Becker asserts, and so should we – even those unfortunate enough to have extremely lucrative jobs, stock options, and trust funds.  The observation that evangelicals reserve most of their outrage for sexual issu…

Faith and Football: What the Gospel Church Can Learn from the NFL

…led radically rightward by charismatically moralistic evangelists of a name-it-and-claim-it prosperity gospel. In today’s gospel church, as I have noted elsewhere, “these celebrity preacher-divas rely on a flamboyantly emotional style steeped in the same deeply gay sensibility that underlies gospel music, even as fierce opposition to homosexuality is the modern saint’s truest proof of piety.” And the NFL? Without excusing Culliver’s crudities, it’…

Seattle ‘CultureMaker’ Nathan Marion: We Need New Abbeys in America to Foster Community, Arts

…an Church become Fremont Abbey? The Church of the Apostles is both Lutheran- and Episcopal-based. The church was able to essentially buy the building through the Lutheran side. It’s a young, creative church, with lots of artists and musicians involved. The founding pastors there wanted the building to be used by the community. They knew that they wouldn’t really have a lot of use for it, besides Sundays anyways. So they helped create that nonprofi…

Catholic Bishops’ Theological Mistakes on Abortion Come at a High Price

…ecide guilt or innocence of the perpetrator, but the reality is that no ten-year-old should even know what sexual assault is, much less how long they’ve experienced it. What happened to her was evil. Pregnancy at age 10, which is at least a year before many girls even begin to menstruate, is a biological and psychological event for which no child is prepared. There aren’t enough resources in the world to justify burdening a child with that experie…

New Mormon Anti-Gay Policy Sparks Mass Exodus From Church; Christian AID Workers in Africa Refuse to Help Gay Refugees; Ukraine Rejects, Then Accepts EU-Required Gay Rights Law; Global LGBT Recap

…o a red line which the Rada refused to cross. “As a country with a thousand-year-old Christian history, we simply cannot allow this,” is how Rada deputy Pavlo Unguryan, a member of Prime Minister Arseniy Yatsenyuk’s own party, explained it after a previous attempt to pass the legislation on Nov. 5 failed…. When it comes to explaining the glacial pace of Ukraine’s anti-corruption reforms, the Rada has excuses — the country is involved in a war with…

Trump’s Arrest ‘Prediction’ Inflames Holy War Narrative and Sanctifies Violence — Welcome to Trump ’24

…ce includes bizarre online chatter about making a “patriot moat” around Mar-a-Lago to defend him. And, if anything, he’s actually ramped up this rhetoric since, calling his opponents “animals,” and leaning sharply into what scholars call “genocidal rhetoric.” And then there are those in his entourage who have made public statements about this, including Joseph McBride, who’s raising money to represent “the legal needs of the January Sixers,” and F…

Sin is Not a Crime: A Conversation with Patrick Cheng 

…mazing graces—what are they? The core of my book is to move from this crime-based model of sin to a Christ-centered model of sin, and it’s not some kind of newfangled thing. As someone who teaches early church history, I’m trying to draw on this alternative strand of thinking about salvation and grace and God’s love and Christ infusing divinity within human beings. To the extent that Christ is always “coming out” in the gospels, I think of sin as…

Ayaan Hirsi Ali’s Heretic: With Friends Like These, Who Needs Jihadis?

…rather like revenge. In place of this, Muhammad advocated for an ummah, a ‘super-tribe,’ a union of peoples based not on bloodline, class, or gender, but fidelity to a common and universal worldview. Islam might not be an ethnicity in the way Judaism is articulated today, but Islam creates all the same a powerful sense of peoplehood, rooted in this historical achievement. People resort to lazy memes, like ‘religion divides people.’ Sure, but it al…

God Dissolves into the Occupy Movement

…atnot. And I am not being patronizing here: the clearing dimension, the out-of-the-blue dimension, is important. None of it will be transformational, however, unless a lot more people can be touched by the same spirit of exodus and be actively engaged in some form of active or even symbolic resistance. The vicarious identification thing will have a very short shelf life. Saying no to the death culture, to the money culture, takes practice. We woul…
