At This Week’s Meeting, Will SBC Vote For Voddie Baucham, The Homeschooling ‘Star’ Who Embraces the Right Wing Theology at the Heart of the Abuse Scandal?

…As many evangelicals adhere to such teachings and are reluctant to address domestic violence in their communities, it ought not surprise us that the men most likely to abuse their wives are evangelical Christians. Most abused Christian wives attend church, yet few feel safe confiding in church leaders about abuse in the family. With the rise of Trumpism and its embrace of white evangelicalism and Christian Nationalism, many far-right individuals w…

…pocalyptic anticipation, and American nationalism.” The connection between domestic stability and national security continues to emerge as a mainstay of evangelical rhetoric especially in this decade when, more than ever before, the family is at the center of American political life as something that needs to be protected not only by churches and other religious organizations, but by the government. And so, the figure of the Asian woman in America…

…ndustrialization. Nationalism inherited Romanticism’s glorification of the domestic sphere as a fortress of virtue against an increasingly corrupt and corrupting world.

‘It’s Time to Defend our Children Outside of the Womb’: Pray Vote Stand Connects Anti-Abortion and Anti-Trans Messages

By PRA Staff

…. According to Boykin, US weakness in the international arena stems from a domestic move to pursue “wokeness.” Any policy that fights climate change, enforces public health measures like vaccines, and protects LGBTQ people “disrupts” the military by reducing its numbers in both personnel and resources. This prevents the US military from “preparing for war in times of peace,” which Boykin considers its most important responsibility. “Is there an in…

…ght are already owning the term “terrorist.” At CPAC in Dallas, “We’re all domestic terrorists” was flashed across a screen behind the stage, to the cheers of the audience. It’s a new, horrifying version of the anti-abortion murder redux—brought to us by the same people whose incendiary rhetoric inspired the bombings of abortion clinics. By claiming that medical personnel who perform abortions were committing murder, the right-wing had created a p…

By Thomas Lecaque

…tion to deal with defectors, murderer of opponents, likely orchestrator of domestic terrorist attacks in Russia to justify warfare, champion of the Russian Empire directly in opposition to America: it seems strange that he would find American champions on the Christian Right. But they love him because he loves violence. He loves the same violence they crave. And unlike them, he has unleashed it repeatedly, and is busy doing it again, against the s…

Women as Head Pastors Was Final Straw for Southern Baptist Convention — Not Scandal, Sexual Abuse, or Dalliance with Dictators

By Caroline Matas

…ongregation—California’s Saddleback Church, a sprawling megachurch with 14 domestic and 4 international campuses that had been helmed by celebrity pastor Rick Warren from 1980 until 2021. Saddleback ordained three women as pastors in May of 2021, a decision that Southern Baptist Theological Seminary president Albert Mohler decried as “unwise and confusing” and that ultimately spurred an investigation by the Convention’s Credentials Committee. Warr…

The End of Roe May Have Something Important to Tell Us About the Decline of Mainline Protestant Churches

By Peter Laarman

…, the maintenance of American economic hegemony necessarily also entails a domestic regime of violence against people of color, violence against women, and violence against not-rich people in general. It’s a regime that thoroughly subjugates internally colonized peoples and manufactures consent. As the spiritual descendants of violent European settlers, today’s American overclass applies an intersectional approach to maintaining power that the Lef…
