Mormon Missionary Service: Now with More Service

By Holly Welker

…e to teach-and more service. The change began three years ago, when “San Jose leaders proposed that missionaries provide two hours of nonproselytizing community service every day, five days a week—up from the normal four or so hours a week. Missionaries are expected to find their own service opportunities. A website called Justserve, listing organizations in need of volunteers, was created to help them do so.

Pelosi Attacker’s New Age Spirituality and Belief in QAnon is no Contradiction

By Susannah Crockford

…f course, DePape no longer resides at that house. He did in 2013, when the San Francisco Chronicle interviewed his acquaintance Gypsy Taub, a nudity activist, about her upcoming wedding (at which DePape was to be the best man). In that article, it states that DePape made hemp jewelry for a living. Associating with nudity activists, particularly Taub, seems to locate DePape in San Francisco hippie culture. Taub is a self-described rebel, Deadhead,…

Saint John Coltrane: Fifty Years of ‘A Love Supreme’

By S. Brent Rodriguez Plate

…c Christianity, and some new age-y “all is one” dialogue. It is definitely San Francisco in all its goofy glory. Like many African-American church services, music mixes with prayer and preaching, and before you know it, three hours have passed, which is about six times as long as the four movements of A Love Supreme. What is it about Coltrane, and in particular A Love Supreme, that gets some of us going spiritually? Coltrane was after truth, as on…

If Modesto’s Public Schools Can Teach World Religions, It Can Happen Anywhere

By Jonathan Homrighausen

…t they implemented this course so successfully. Modesto is no Berkeley, no San Francisco, no New York. Modesto is known for its low literacy, high crime, and conservative religious and political temperament. The Modesto I grew up in was not a city of open-minded religious pluralism. Modesto is the city where, as a teen, I was invited by a friend to a service at his church. It turned out to be a performance of “Heaven’s Gates, Hell’s Flames,” a dra…

Union Busting for God: Catholic Colleges Invoke “Religious Freedom” to Violate Catholic Teaching

By Kaya Oakes

…rdileone garnered national criticism for attempting to do just that in the San Francisco diocesan schools, which would have also required teachers to follow a “morality clause,” meaning that they would obey church teachings even outside of the classroom. The San Francisco archdiocese eventually dropped the effort, but reclassifying theology faculty and graduate students in this manner means not only that they’ll be blocked from unionizing, but tha…

…feature described in the Guardian as “part disaster tourism, part product promotion,” Zuckerberg, in the form of a cartoon avatar, waded through the very real, very flooded, residential streets of Puerto Rico. At one point, his cartoon avatar high-fived the cartoon avatar of another Facebook employee who was “with” him in this “journey.” “One of the things that’s really magical about virtual reality is you can get the feeling that you’re really i…

…ed, an ugly one. Mitulski ministered with Nixon at the MCC congregation in San Francisco. Jones remembered seeing people getting sicker and sicker, week after week. “Death was much slower,” he said. And for all of the losses of Covid, the length of illness, for most, is much shorter and the possibility of survival much greater. When Pieters was first diagnosed there was no treatment for AIDS. He considered himself lucky to have a doctor who advise…
