New Book Details Harms of Evangelical ‘Purity’ Movement and the Obstacle to Change

By Elizabeth Shively

…ty, and human development. This analysis promises to offer insight for mental health professionals and for those dealing with the fallout of purity teachings. A second valuable contribution of Pure is Klein’s emphasis on the connection between sexual- and gender-based shame in evangelical purity culture. This focus, combined with the demographics of her home church from which she drew most her interview participants, does mean her analysis is limi…

When Fundamentalism Follows You Out the Door: Transphobic Statement Exposes Exvangelical Trauma

By Chrissy Stroop

…d and weaponized social justice rhetoric, have all characterized exvangelical online spaces this spring, hampering both individual paths to healing and the coalition building and appeal to outsiders that are necessary for exvies to make the kind of impact that will ultimately weaken conservative, mostly white evangelicals’ political power. To me, exvangelical community building has always been about both things: finding each other in order to know…

Dehumanizing Huckabee Tweet Another Echo of Dangerous Tribalism

By Bradley Onishi

…l, his promise (and attempts) to ban Muslims from the country, and his overall willingness to reduce the world to real Americans (i.e. those with Trump, who said “I alone can fix it”) and anyone else (whether they be Democrats, Hillary supporters, NeverTrumpers, immigrants, non-whites, non-Christians, the list goes on).

…ical ideas: “the optimum rather than the maximum in reproduction”; “a gradual separation of sexuality from reproduction”; and, in horrifying final words, “the absolute right…to try everything right to the end—even in the matter of human biology.” At this juncture, one must ask why no scholars before this essay have written at length on the depths of Teilhard’s commitments to eugenics, sterilization, and racial superiority. Some early scholars of T…

…tion of the Vietnam War. Certainly, in this, they drew on the church’s social encyclicals (especially Pacem in Terris, which articulated the Church’s default pacifism) and on the protest lineage of Dorothy Day and the Catholic Workers. As the cameras rolled on the protest, Daniel prayed, too, to the God of peace in whose name they undertook the action. But as the Catonsville Nine reached into the ashes and made crosses on their brows—the Lenten si…

Progressive Christian Arrogance Isn’t as Big a Threat as ‘Just Be Nice’

By Peter Laarman

…g that most progressive Christians suffer from an inability to invite a “healthy dialogue” over controversial issues. Really? In my experience, there’s a very different and far more consequential problem besetting too many progressive Christian circles: engaging in “dialogue” is about all they want to do; making room for “diverse views” in endless panel presentations and milquetoasty conferences is what they live for… while the world burns and jus…

#Churchtoo: Apology of Evangelical Pastor Accused of Sexual Assault Shows Why Sorry Isn’t Enough

By Jessica Johnson

…h, to do whatever we can within the scope of what it means to offer spiritual healing, to do that, for Miss Woodson.” However, in the prayer that follows, Conlee demonstrates that his notion of spiritual healing has nothing to do with Woodson’s trauma and everything to do with upholding the work of, and his position in, the church. “Holy Spirit would you take this prayer, and now, as thousands of people are praying, in agreement, in unison, would…

Satanic Temple’s IRS Recognition Rekindles Fierce Debate Over What Is ‘Really Real’ Church

By Joseph Laycock

…m that we have. Proving sincerity has been a key issue in most of TST’s legal challenges. When TST sued the state of Arkansas in 2018, attorneys representing Secretary of State Mark Martin filed a response alleging that TST were “trolling pranksters” and “beneath the dignity of this Court.” They even speculated, “[I]t is entirely plausible that the proposed intervenors intend to use their involvement in the action before this Court as part of thei…
