Praying With Eyes Open: Christmas is a Big Deal for Liberal Christians Too

By Peter Laarman

…to go one-up on an important Roman festival time. And never mind that the New Testament’s nativity narratives don’t cohere and were quite obviously invented to supply a back story for the main event in the consciousness of the early church, which was the death and resurrection of the short-lived Galilean, not his birth. I happened to be among my colleagues in a social justice project planning meeting this week when a good friend, a pastor whose w…

Evangelical Groundhog Day: The ‘Times’ Identifies the ‘Religious Fervor in the American Right’ — Around Four Decades Late

By Diana Butler Bass

…om into political existence. And it was a very particular Kingdom, one of G-O-D and the GOP. Indeed, as those years unfolded, the terms “evangelical” and “Republican” slowly, but insistently and dogmatically, became synonymous. If you were a Democrat, chances are pretty good you never told your fellow churchgoers your political party for fear you’d be run out of Bible study, prayed over to exorcise the demons in your soul, or humiliated as the sub…

Nikki Haley’s Slavery Omission Typifies the GOP’s Tragic Pact with White Supremacy

By Annika Brockschmidt

…f those who wanted a tragic, heroic sheen to their racist history. Haley’s comments in New Hampshire weren’t a deviation from her previous utterances on this topic. In her years as a South Carolina politician, she has carefully crafted something that Sidney Blumenthal, writing in the Guardian, calls “Lost Cause lite”: The Wall Street Journal editorially praised her in 2010 for an interview she gave to a neo-Confederate group, the Palmetto Patriots…

Mitt, Moochers, and Mormonism’s “Other” Legacy

By Mary Barker

…hat could provide for all our needs, and I am still plagued by an obsessive-compulsive ritual that must stem from these days. I harbor secret fears about being able to provide for my own children in the event of apocalypse, and play mental games in which I am magically granted all of the foods (“carrots, peas, beans, corn…”) or personal items (“soap, shampoo, toothpaste…”) that I can pronounce in my head before, let’s say, the subway door closes….

Global LGBT Recap: Religious Leaders Support Persecution as Countries Vie in Homophobia Olympics

By Peter Montgomery

…pment Joaquim Chissano, former president of Mozambique and co-chair of the High-Level Task Force for the International Conference on Population and Development, published an open letter to African leaders last week that put LGBT equality and reproductive justice at the heart of the continent’s economic development goals. He writes that empowerment of women and gender equality, the rights and empowerment of adolescents and youth, and the sexual and…

Why America’s Whitewashed Thanksgiving Needs to Go: A Short Study in the Power of White Christian Mythmaking

By Peter Laarman

…ers who took the Crown’s side against Cromwell’s roundheads. This chronicle-cum-legend is seductive and still resonant because it flatters white intellectuals who imagine themselves to be legatees of this great enlightened tradition: from Bradford and Winthrop and Williams to the revolutionary Adamses and Roger Sherman, and then on to Emerson and Channing and Horace Mann and Margaret Fuller and Charles Sumner and the Oliver Wendell Holmeses. The B…

It’s Time To Ordain Women—Again

By Elizabeth Drescher

…women’s ordination to the diaconate has unambiguous roots in the Christian New Testament, where Phoebe is named as a deacon of the church in Cenchrae (Rm. 16:1). Likewise, Roman Catholic canon law appears to have much more wiggle room with regard to the diaconate. Macy, Ditewig, and Zagano have been swimming in the often choppy sea of questions around the ordination of women in the Catholic Church for many years. RD contributor Elizabeth Drescher…

Leaked ‘Freedom Convoy’ Donor Comments Clearly Demonstrate Christian Nationalist Presence

By Thomas Lecaque

…hat’s been going on is UNJUST! God bless you all!” And a donor from Voisins-les-Bretonneux in France actually gave twice with prayers to the Archangel Michael, who was mentioned in an early Qdrop and has been used on the fringes of QAnon before—the first time, saying: “We are praying daily for you to St Michel the Archangel – St Michel, we implore thee, please shield the convoy from all ills, and blind the demons operating within the Canadian gove…

No Zombies Here, Just a Bunch of Women Talking to the Dead

By LeRhonda S. Manigault-Bryant

…e is nothing like hearing it for yourself. And in terms of cost, I did not feel comfortable including a companion CD of all that audio because it would have made the book really pricey. In the end, Duke Press graciously agreed to house a selection of the audio on their website. So now, when readers get to the parts that talk about the music in depth, they can go and listen to it while they are reading. It is a pretty cool feature I think. What are…

Mitt Romney and the Ghost of Anti-Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…o being a very stalwart Republican and businessman also an apostle [a very high-ranking leader] for the LDS Church. The ministerial association in Utah objected to his election because they said he represented the LDS Church, which they maintained to be a lawbreaking institution for its continuing sanctioning of polygamous marriage. They argued he could not serve in the Senate and filed a petition against his seating. The Senate convened a hearing…
