By Hussein Rashid

…ed of killing infant Christian babies to make matzoh; it was meant to be a sign that Jews were subhuman. Now Hamas gladly says they themselves are subhuman.) This virulent anti-Semitism is not part of a general Islamic ethos, and more people have addressed this issue than I can count.

…ires paid staff, like those working in the Central Park field hospital, to sign a statement of faith that includes the exclusionary tenet: “God instituted monogamous marriage between male and female as the foundation of the family and the basic structure of human society. For this reason, we believe that marriage is exclusively the union of one genetic male and one genetic female.” On the basis of this policy and Graham’s notorious record, it wasn…

By Sarah Posner

…iring practices (and, like many of the HCSMs, it requires all employees to sign a Christian statement of faith). If the new evangelicals were to be part of a successful coalition to persuade Congress to pass, for example, meaningful legislation on gun control, immigration reform, or climate change, that would certainly be a positive development for evangelical political advocacy. But what sort of cracks would then develop? Will evangelicals, for…

Tearing Down Evangelical Icons: Why Penn’s Decision to Remove George Whitefield Statue May Be Good for American Evangelicalism

By Shalom Goldman

…whose establishment or “rebirth” he and many fellow evangelicals saw as a sign of God’s hand moving in history. Evangelicals and Jews Become Partners Today, it’s commonplace for the Christian Right to invoke the idea of “Judeo-Christian values,” and for America to once again become “one nation under God.” Overlooking the pesky fact that that phrase was only added to the Pledge of Allegiance in 1954, they insist that both the Christian and Jewish…

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…y are the ones who are taking all the risks in actions such as refusing to sign wedding certificates or bake wedding cakes. When they face backlash for this they feel persecuted for taking what they see as a principled stand. What do you say to them? If you’re taking a kind of risk that inherently pits you against people—particularly people who live on the margins, people who have been disempowered—something is wrong there. How can queer virtue st…
