…ions that, regardless of their size, “a focus on one-on-one ministry and a commitment to local communities” are what have helped churches weather the pandemic. However, Hinch fails to shore up his larger argument when he points to the famous Saddleback megachurch’s model of using “small fellowship groups” to “provide the kind of personal contact and accountability otherwise lacking in large, anonymous megachurch services” as if this is a novel app…

Behind the Inclusive-Sounding Ads of this $100 Million PR-Blitz-for-Jesus it’s the Same Old Conservative Christian Fantasy

By Chrissy Stroop

…its homophobic views, which makes it pretty clear that “growing in gospel community” means becoming both straight and right-wing. In sum, it’s quite clear who the people behind “He Gets Us” are, even if their goal is to reel in the youth before they’re fully aware of what they’re getting into. At the end of the day, “He Gets Us” amounts to both an egregious misuse of $100 million (an amount that could do so much to, for example, alleviate the per…

Boykin, a former Lieutenant General, has become a pseudo-military-order figure himself, having claimed the position of Grand Chancellor of the Knights Hospitallers, Sovereign Order of Saint John of Jerusalem, Knights of Malta, back in 2010.

Marjorie Taylor Greene’s Red/Blue ‘National Divorce’ Looks an Awful Lot Like a Confederate Flag

By Thomas Lecaque and Joshua Call

…a is overwhelmingly aligned with conservative politics and policies. Bills coming through the state legislature’s subcommittee’s include things like HF367, a performative piece of vice-signaling about pronouns and chosen names, and the state was in the news for a neo-Nazi group on the eastern side declaring tomorrow, February 25th, a “day of hate.” But that right-wing, and even far-right, bent is only part of the state. And that has not, and almos…

Overnight Sensation ‘The Rich Men North of Richmond’ isn’t Just a Window into a Forgotten America — It’s an Invitation into a Worldview

By Bradley Onishi

…d, as it is unmediated. His vocals are laid over a single guitar with no accompaniment from other instruments. In many ways, the song’s appeal comes down to what it cuts out—the production of a professional studio, the complexity of a melange of instruments or voices—in order to allow Anthony’s screeching cry to overpower anything in its range. Many in MAGA Nation and other conservative circles have taken notice. Marjorie Taylor Greene tweeted: “T…

Why Has the Critique of Hypocrisy Run Out of Steam?

By Christopher Douglas

…h God; and this, too, at a time when he may be said to have been guilty of compelling his woman slave to commit the sin of adultery.” In Douglass’s view, Christian slaveholders were often as much subjects of self-deception as they were self-conscious frauds. Douglass’s Christian slavers were the ancestors, in theology and church tradition, if not in actual family genealogy, of today’s Christian Right. Although the popular tale of the political emp…
