How A Cat Saved My Life

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…l Seminary in Louisville, Kentucky, even wondered in an article on his Web site why there was “no one to step between (Rutgers student) Tyler Clementi and that bridge.” The death of Clementi and five other kids, who were either gay or perceived as such, would be a wonderful opportunity for Mohler to show some real compassion, or perhaps even cop to Christianity’s culpability in their deaths; but he makes no such effort as he writes about the suici…

By Willie James Jennings

…nd death are no longer the ultimate power. Jesus is risen! There from that site, holy words touch two intersecting nerves, the religious and the political. For some in power, these disciples speak heresy (Jesus is the power of God) and for others in power, these disciples speak sedition (Jesus is the power).

…the eco-recovery treatment program prescribed above. The much-maligned fansite, avatar-forums.com, for example, is buzzing with suggestions on how to, in effect, bring about a kind of Pandora on Earth.

Dylan Gwinn, writing for the site after the first two episodes ran, couldn’t decide at first if he were angrier that the series brought religion into the mix or that it seemed to criticize the early twentieth-century oil and coal industry. The brief review closed with an obtuse attack on “environmentalists,” the term itself making it seem as if the author just recently heard about a conspiracy called E…

Occupy in Exile: Sacred Space is Everywhere

By Donna Schaper

…red so sacred by some that they found the possibility of a mosque near the site as desacralizing. The blend, not the division, of sacred and profane spaces really matters to justice and its hopes. If the spirit of Occupy Wall Street and its home at “Liberty Square” is to survive and have impact, we occupiers need a larger understanding of what sacred space is and what it isn’t. Sacred space can be anywhere, any time. Lots of people want to turn th…
