Teach Your Children Well: Challenging Religion-Based Sexism

By Sikivu Hutchinson

…olutionary journey. As mentors for the Women’s Leadership Project (WLP), a South L.A.-based high school gender justice program, my partner Diane Arellano and I train our students to lead in-class workshops on the everyday impact of misogynistic language, stereotypes, and media imagery. Students develop critical consciousness about their shared struggle vis-à-vis the stereotype of the sacrificial good black/Latina “woman of faith.” On several occas…

Blessed With a Dark Turn of Mind: Gillian Welch’s Spiritual Strivings

By Paul Harvey

…tion of rock and roll. Appropriate for characters nearly always set in the South or with Southern language, darkness always looms. Those who will enact Satan’s purposes on Earth are never far away, and even in the most personal of songs, symbols of disturbance straight from the playbook of Southern lore and Scots-Irish ballads abound: I can’t say your name without a crow flying by. Conjurers and tricksters from black Southern lore, and traveling r…

Pricking the Conscience of Churches: From AIDS Activism to Ending World Hunger

By Susan Henking

…e impact of your work be? And how would our world be different? I’m an idealist and it is not coincidental that my favorite popular song is the “The Impossible Dream” from Man of La Mancha. But I am also a realist and I believe it is possible to conquer hunger and end AIDS in our lifetime. An AIDS-free and hunger-free world are my mantra. What it will take is political will and compassion without borders. This is not simply a romantic vision, but…

Imagining Fear and Anxiety in Post-9/11 New York

By Haroon Moghul

…Submission is about all of that. You were co-chief of the New York Times’ South Asia bureau. How did your work over there affect your view of New York, of how we remember September 11—and what’s happened since? A novelist is, in some sense, always an outsider—and being abroad, being a geographic outsider, was very helpful in seeing what had happened to America in the wake of 9/11. Not being immersed in the fear, the anxiety, that a lot of America…

Bachmann Staffer Likens
Rick Perry to King Saul and Bachmann to anointed
King David

By Warren Throckmorton

…ording to The Atlantic’s Garance Franke-Ruta. Apparently the next state is South Carolina. In a comment on his Facebook page, Waldron said he would soon be in Columbia and cover the state. Evangelicals in South Carolina will have a tough choice between Perry, who recently hosted a prayer meeting in Houston where over 30,000 evangelicals attended, and Bachmann, who has made her faith a central part of her campaign. The distinction offered by Waldro…

Beyond Alarmism and Denial in the Dominionism Debate

By Anthea Butler

…a home church they identify with, but you have a favorite pastor or evangelist that you listen to occasionally. Studying scripture means you don’t just read the Bible, you read devotional books, and books designed to help your spiritual walk or the church broadly construed. That is the problem with focusing in only on NAR and dominionism. If you don’t know the everyday context of how people, churches, and organizations deal with these broad-based…

Perry v. Romney Showdown Tonight

By Joanna Brooks

…if Perry gets evangelical Christian conservatives, the Tea Party, and the South—although not without a fight and not by decisive margins? Can Romney still win? Polls from South Carolina this week show he’s only up by 3 points over Romney. (Even in Texas, Perry’s approval ratings are only 45%.) Romney gets GOP elites and establishment, the Northeast, the West, independents (in open primary states), and everyone who has the foresight to worry about…

Creators of Missing Lowe’s Ad Tell All

By Hussein Rashid

…forms long-form improvisation with a three-man improv group named STU, the South Asian team Browntown, and the musical improv troupe All-Skate. Rizwan Manji starred in the NBC sitcom Outsourced. He played Rajiv, the officious assistant manager of the Mid-America Novelties call center. He may also be remembered playing Salim Ali Khan in the hit film American Desi. Rizwan has worked with director Mike Nichols and actor Tom Hanks in Charlie Wilson’s…

Religious Right Elites Still Looking for a Candidate

By Sarah Posner

…Take note: McCain benefitted from the splitting of the evangelical vote in South Carolina, a phenomenon that could work to Romney’s advantage this time around. The fascinating thing about the upcoming Texas meeting is that many of the same players tried playing this game last summer, and came up with Rick Perry. Those meetings, incidentally, led to his big prayer rally The Response, held a week before he announced his candidacy (in South Carolina)…

Mormon-Born Daya Mata Typifies American Yoga

By Andrea R. Jain

…the ancient and classical systems of raja yoga or hatha yoga that saturate South Asian culture. For Yogananda, yoga was the scientific path to the experience of God, and that path was as much about Christ consciousness as Krishna consciousness. This was a hybrid product of Hindu, Christian, and modern ideas about the nature of God, the nature of the Self, and the nature of the human body. By the 1960s and the influx of gurus to the United States w…
