A Matter of the Heart: Talking to Gay Christian Rocker Jennifer Knapp

By Kristin Rawls

…y’ve been through. I hope I’ve helped open a door for us to just share and talk. So, it sounds like the response has been largely positive. What’s the other side of that coin? For example, I saw the Exodus International statement and wondered how pervasive that perspective had been? It’s certainly around. The truth is that those were the types of responses I expected, so they’re not surprising. It’s easy to write headlines about bad news becau…

“I ‘Came Out’ For Marriage Equality”: An Anti-Gay Activist Changes His Mind

By Welton Gaddy

…to confide in my mother and some close friends of mine, and I was able to talk about it and explain my feelings, and talk to them about how I felt, and why I felt that way… you know, I did it a couple of times, and eventually it started to become something that I was able to accept myself. And then, once I was able to accept that myself, I understood that it was a genuine feeling; and then I was able to move from there and come to the conclusion…

How Far Will White Christians Go to Maintain Power? An Interview with Robert Jones

By Peter Laarman

…e interrogation of a very troubling history, including the history we just talked about. And yes, this idea of protecting American innocence is really at the core of it. And you know there’s a great irony here. For a people who talk so much about sin and guilt, they simultaneously have this external insistence on their innocence. Heresy is a word that comes to mind. Let’s try to end on a more positive note if we can. The egalitarian current in Ame…

Awakening, Counter-Awakening, and the End of Church

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ou have a sense that in the general election perhaps some of this religion talk might dissipate or soften? No, I don’t have any hope that religious talk will soften into November. I think it will still be there. If Mitt Romney is the nominee, he continually wants to sidestep the religious talk and he has good reason for doing that. People don’t understand Mormonism. Most American Protestants and Catholics have a fundamental distrust or uncertainty…

Want Straight Talk on the Romney-Rosen Mommy Wars?

By Joanna Brooks

It was the tweet that transformed the ever-simmering Mommy Wars into a holy crusade. First, on April 11, DNC advisor Hilary Rosen told Anderson Cooper: What you have is Mitt Romney running around the country saying, well, you know, my wife tells me that what women really care about are economic issues, and when I listen to my wife, that’s what I’m hearing. Guess what, his wife has actually never worked a day in her life. She’s never really dealt…

Naked Mormon Women Go Viral, Talk Back

By Holly Welker

On November 3, Religion Dispatches published an interview with Katrina Barker Anderson about her nude art project, Mormon Women Bare. About ten days later, KUTV, a local Utah television station, did a feature on Anderson and her project. A week later, Salon reprinted Anderson’s RD interview [as per an agreement with RD –Eds]—shortly thereafter, the project officially went viral. In some ways the attention isn’t surprising: viewing naked people is…

“LGBT People Have a Lot to Teach Christians”

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…felt like I had some direction. Telling my church story is tough but I can talk about my baptism and what the means. Talking about the role of church in millennials’ lives —that’s huge. I can’t do that, but I can talk about the role of confession or the anointing of the sick or communion. Then, it all just came together and I felt like I could tell my story and other people’s story as well through that imagery. It was the sacraments that both brou…

Muslims Wearing Things, Tea Party Chastised on Nazi Talk, and Politicking in Church

By Michael J. Altman

An order of Roman Catholic nuns in Baltimore are auctioning off a Honus Wagner baseball card worth over $150,000. The kerfuffle about a Christian flag flying over a veterans memorial in King, North Carolina continues with one veteran standing guard to make sure the city council doesn’t remove it. A Louisiana parish has banned the observance of Halloween this Sunday. Trick or Treaters can celebrate on Monday the 1st but face a fine of $500 and up…

Trump’s Yiddish Trash Talk Launches the Great ‘Schlong’ Debate of 2015

By Peter Manseau

As the great sage Toby Ziegler once said, “Don’t bring the Yiddish unless you know what you’re doing.” Donald Trump clearly does not. Earlier this month he was widely panned when his efforts to appeal to the members of the Republican Jewish Coalition devolved into a series of anti-Semitic tropes. Now he’s stumbled back into the turbulent waters of Yiddishkeit by saying that Hillary Clinton “got schlonged” in the previous election, and then insist…

7 Women Scholars On the Gender Divide in Religious Studies, the Power of Mentors, and Leading While Female

By Rebecca Barrett-Fox

…e willing to talk to me. However, women in the congregation didn’t want to talk to me because my world was so alien to them. This changed when I became visibly pregnant. My status as a mother-to-be was a bridge into the congregation, which enabled me to talk to the women there. And I think that this was one of those moments when I had to recognize the ways that gender does make difference. Serene Jones: It’s not like gender is part of who I am and…
