By Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

…violence that is perpetuated against trans women of color. Likewise, this list of names does not recognize the countless acts of violence that occur every day, worldwide, against those who dare to exist outside of gender binaries.

…the use of the word “apotheosis” to advance a plot. See here for the full list of discussions so far, or sign up here for the RSS feed. Diane Winston_________________ Sunday, February 7. Fellow Capricologists: What did you make of the centrality of the news to “Reins of the Waterfall,” this week’s episode?

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…od in our prayers and our worship songs. So, we don’t have to be fundamentalist, because the structure is fundamentalist on our behalf. For instance, a parent obviously doesn’t believe in Santa Claus, but they don’t experience the trauma of not believing until the child stops believing. So, they get the pleasure of believing in Santa Claus without having to be stupid enough to believe in Santa Claus. Parts of the liberal church get to have their i…

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…

…interest in October 2008. An additional US connection to this story is the list of Institutional Shareholders of Pacific Rim Stock. Who is Marcelo Rivera? He was ASIC’s director and cofounder. He was last seen alive the afternoon of June 18th in the neighboring town of Ilobasco. His body was discovered 12 days later at the bottom of a 60-foot well in a neighboring farm. His shirt and keys were found in a small vacant farmhouse 100 feet from the we…

By Evan Derkacz

…k Iran-Israel connection, it does look as though Menendez received more “pro-Israel” money than all but 2 Senators between 2006 and 2014. Number one on that list, incidentally, is his co-sponsor on the current Iran sanctions bill, Mark Kirk. …

“Religious Freedom” and the Conservative Quest for Absolute Truth

By Ira Chernus

…but can’t afford them; those who want to marry but are barred by law. The list goes on. Democracy suffers too. The essence of democracy is that we, the people, get to choose our values. We don’t discover them inscribed in the cosmos. So everything must be open to question, to debate, to change. there can be no fixed truth except that everyone has the right to offer a new view. It’s a process without end, whose outcome should never be predictable….

Presbyterians, Change Hearts & Minds, Begin Ordaining Gays

…epent of “any self-acknowledged practice which the confessions call sin”—a list that includes transgressions as varied as usury, “undue delay of marriage,” and “immoderate use of meat.” (What now for patrons of Brazilian steakhouses?) Of course, the struggle for full acceptance of LGBT people began way before efforts to repeal the so-called “fidelity and chastity” rule. Many folks mark the 1974 General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church as the…

‘Hell is a World Without You’ Shows Readers How Squarely They Would Have Been on Path to Jan 6 if They’d Come of Age in Evangelicalism

By Michael J. Altman

…s I’d written about 2000s teenagers who’d been drowned in Christian nationalist rhetoric. Did any of my characters grow up to appear in that image on TV? One of the book’s goals clicked into place: show normie readers how squarely they would’ve been placed onto that path if they’d grown up like this. The other goal: show people who grew up as evangelical misfits that we were never as alone as we felt. That last point definitely hit for me. But I d…

Tainted Love: The Cost of Sojourners’ Refusal to Take Sides on LGBT Issues

By Jamie L. Manson

…bout their personal lives in order to answer God’s calling. (Check out the list of bloggers on Wallis’ “God’s Politics” blog. Can you find an out gay person among them?) By refusing to take sides, men like Wallis and Claiborne only reinforce the need to hide for the sake of serving the kingdom of God. While it is commendable that Sojourners seeks to defend gay people against physical or legal harm, their unwillingness to fight for their spiritual…
