By Joanna Brooks

…alling itself “Concerned Citizens of the United States” distributed a watchlist with the names, social security numbers, and other personal information of 1300 alleged undocumented immigrants.

Will Gender and Sexuality Rend The Anglican Communion?

By Becky Garrison

…tian Culture, “What the last few days have shown is how weak the traditionalist voice is in the C of E. When the vote on women’s ordination to the priesthood went through about 20 years ago the compromise motion allowing alternative bishops was an inevitable part of it. Today it isn’t.” Hence, I’m not convinced that the ordination of women bishops will create a schism similar to the Great Schism of 1064 that created a perment fissure between the R…

Bristol Palin Bags Baby Daddy

By Anthea Butler

…idential election, Playgirl, and perhaps a liaison with a woman from the D-List. All kidding aside, it is Bristol Palin that I have had the most empathy for throughout this last two years.

What is a “Religious Progressive” Anyway?

By Daniel Schultz

…panding personal liberties, and it looks pretty recognizable. In fact, the list is more remarkable for what it does not mention: any kind of social or cultural issue. It’s more than that “God, guns, and gays” weren’t on the ballot back then. It’s that the original progressive movement took place before conservatives knew how to use cultural resentments to beat liberals over the head. (Racial resentments are another story: the progressive movement…

Are Tea Partiers Pro-Gay and Pro-Choice?

By Sarah Posner

…, should they find his advice enticing — concludes that his firm’s mailing list of 25 million evangelical voters can be used to educate people about the tea parties’ internal differences. He says that “our side” is failing to develop “messaging aimed at these folks that highlights the differences between the factions. . . .

Closing with Gospel in Morocco

By Hussein Rashid

…hake. These devotional songs are also popular songs, as people continue to listen and chant them everywhere. Conclusion I think that the Fes Festival brings together an amazing group of musicians, and the space to demonstrate experimental pieces is fantastic. I would have loved to see them extend this concept and create a space for various artists to jam together. I think having the Baghdad-Jerusalem Ensemble in conversation with Dhafer Youssef, f…

Telling the World a ‘Big Story’: RD in Conversation with Karen Armstrong

By Laurie Patton

…r cultures that are essentially modern. In relationships between fundamentalist and non-fundamentalists, it seems to me that the challenge becomes translational—how do you talk across boundaries? I know you’ve written about this, but I frequently joke that the liberals are all one tradition in a sense, and it is easier to get them to talk to each other. But the real challenge is when you might try to get liberals and fundamentalists from the same…
