Why the Women’s Ordination Question Will Shape the Future of Mormonism

By Joanna Brooks

…ublications, and some forms of inquiry stigmatized. LDS institutional and business insiders often cite with approval Harvard Business School professor and former LDS regional authority Clayton Christiansen’s work on “innovative disruption” as a force in institutional life, but it is hard to conceive of an organizational culture more allergic to disruption than today’s gender-segregated, regionally- and racially-dominated, hierarchical, and geront…

Gordon Gekko Gets God: The Heritage Foundation of Theology

By Peter Laarman

…publisher Rich Karlgaard who quipped that listening to a pastor preach on business is like listening to a eunuch lecture on sex: neither has hands-on experience. The failure of the logic is obvious but the next section is revealing for an author who once worked at the world’s foremost anti-evolution “think tank,” devoted to the replacement of universally-accepted science with Christian beliefs: No serious Christian writing about natural science w…

Better Dead Than ‘Fed’: Behind Palin’s Dig at ‘Unbiblical’ Fed

By Julie Ingersoll

…o exceptions: charitable loans (for which interest may not be charged) and business loans (which effectively form business partnerships between people contributing capital and people contributing ideas and/or labor). The Bible requires a system of “just weights and measures;” for North, manipulation of those weights and measures (such as the Fed does) violates biblical principles. North argues that the Bible prohibits what he calls “multiple indeb…

RDBook: Whither the Religious Left?

By Bill Berkowitz

…the Religious Right. Drucker was the theorist of the megachurch, applying business principles to the creation of religious empires. Meanwhile, Warren’s books read more like self-help books than dire warnings of Satanic or Muslim hordes that drive the work of say, John Hagee, and his ideology is about free market fundamentalism more than it is about overt religious and political triumphalism. This, along with an avuncular personality gives him an…

Silence of Latino Religious Leaders Enable GOP Tolerance of Trump Spectacle

By Arlene M. Sanchez Walsh

…d, but not of religious leaders whose flocks are from those same immigrant classes Trump called rapists and disease-carriers. After weeks of scouring the news and press releases, and having a Google alert at the ready. I searched for the op-eds of scorn, judgment, and coals heaped on Trump’s head. Instead, apart from National Latino Evangelical Coalition founder Gabriel Salguero, who called Trump’s comments xenophobic, I found a great deal of sile…

God Dissolves into the Occupy Movement

By Nathan Schneider

…dated ourselves to these new circumstances, but not happily and with grave reservations about where this is taking us. And now it seems a mainly youthful Occupy movement is giving voice to all of our previously silent reservations and shouting out a very loud non serviam! It really leaves the establishment with very little to say. What’s their response going to be: domination is good for you?? It was a little more than three decades ago when Marg…

…eligious or avocational as well as programs that do not offer marketing or business classes, last less than twenty-four hours, do not result in a degree or certificate, and cost less than $500 are exempt from the licensing requirement. Nevertheless, concerned that the TWC’s requirement will have undesirable effects on the Texas yoga community, many yogis oppose it. They argue that this is the first step toward requiring all yoga teachers to obtain…

Dispatches from the Workplace: Eid stirs fury in Shelbyville, Tennessee

By Kim Bobo

…ent the concerns of the workers, while appreciating the constraints of the business leaders,” said Stuart Appelbaum, national president of the RWDSU. “The United States was built with the hands of hardworking immigrants and we must always respect and honor various religious traditions.” Increasingly, unions and other worker associations that represent largely Muslim workforces, such as SEIU representing janitors or taxi driver associations, have s…

National Association of Evangelicals Supports Immigration Reform, But Elsewhere Discord Reigns

By Donna Schaper

…some extravagant, realistic creativity here, too. Start by recognizing the business interests that make us hire “illegals” for child care, elder care, restaurant work, and more. Those who think there are too many Mexicans here might want to rethink the United States’ trade and aid policies to Mexico so that it too could be an economically viable place for people to live. That would be an extravagant, realistic creativity. Religious people are also…

But ‘Natural’ is Better, No? ‘How Faith in Nature’s Goodness Leads to Harmful Fads, Unjust Laws, and Flawed Science’

By Andrew Aghapour

…workers with dignity and keeping them safe, the value of keeping locals in business. We want to believe that there are foods that we can eat that satisfy them all. And so what “natural” does, as a theological term, is it reassures us that food labeled natural will at once be best for our health and for the natural world, and that it will also be better for the workers producing the food, and that it would be better for the economy. One case study…
