By Elizabeth Drescher

…ecutive with a familiar Eton-Cambridge pedigree, to move to the top of the list. Postcolonial Leadership Lessons? When rumors of the likely appointment of Welby began flickering across news sites in the UK and then the US just two days after Obama’s rout of Romney, I couldn’t help wondering if the Anglican Communion might not have a few things to learn from the demographic configuration of the GOP defeat.

Civility, Unity, Tolerance And Other Dangerous Terms

By Eric C. Miller

…ings more divisive than critical speech, and the Nines’ exclusionary guest list is a stark example. By exposing this division, Evans has actually cultivated grounds for greater inclusion and unity in the future.

Carson’s recent book, for instance, Mark Driscoll claims th…

By Peter Laarman

…d, bad bishops, nones on the bus, vegan leather queens, God’s mom: in this list Peter Laarman plots the angles that were largely invisible in mainstream religion coverage this past year—and likely in our own. A road map for 2013—and a sign to us that there might be more important things to focus on this year than the launch of our signature fragrance, RD’s Apocalypse-Begone (subtle notes of ash, hints of ocean breeze, a wisp of sulphur…). –The Ed…

…t nudists can go shop in the grocery store without putting clothes on? The list is endless if we’re going to start doing things like that.” Schuttloffel characterized a business owner’s refusal to serve a gay person as “immoral,” but suggested that making flower arrangements for a wedding would constitute participation in an immoral act. But what if a gay man is purchasing flowers as an engagement gift for his boyfriend? If anti-gay advocates want…

Facebook’s “No Religion” Policy Hoax

By Gwynne Watkins

…weeks ago, and yet it persists. Hovering at #2 on the Snopes.com “Hot 100” list of the most-circulated hoaxes, this one takes the form of a Facebook post by CEO Mark Zuckerberg (and, ahem, spells his name incorrectly). Seen it on your feed lately? It states that Facebook is instituting a “No Religion” policy, whereby “anyone spreading religious beliefs” will have their account shut down and be subject to “investigation.” Because what better busine…

…ommittee on families Yelena Mizulina was included in the U.S. government’s list of Russian leaders sanctioned in the wake of the Crimea annexation because the Obama administration is “controlled by the gay lobby.” Mizulina is among the organizers of the WCF’s 2014 summit, which is scheduled to be held in Moscow in 2014, though planning is now on hold. She promoted the anti-gay propaganda ban and the ban on Russian children being adopted by America…

…aid that the Bible only refers to God as “God,” Blue Letter Bible has this list of things that God is called in the Old Testament: Introduction El Shaddai (Lord God Almighty) El Elyon (The Most High God) Adonai (Lord, Master) Yahweh (Lord, Jehovah) Jehovah Nissi (The Lord My Banner) Jehovah-Raah (The Lord My Shepherd) Jehovah Rapha (The Lord That Heals) Jehovah Shammah (The Lord Is There) Jehovah Tsidkenu (The Lord Our Righteousness) Jehovah Mekod…

Who Are Michigan Catholic Bishops to Judge?

By Elizabeth Drescher

…would continue to put at the top of their pastoral and political priority list issues like marriage equality, “religious freedom,” and abortion that have nothing to do with the core of teachings of Jesus about feeding the poor, tending the sick, and like that. Indeed, in their 2014 advocacy priorities, even education is not primarily about improving access to learning for children, but rather focuses on shifting limited public funding to private…

By Gwynne Watkins

…29. Called Noah’s Ark, it was directed by Michael Curtiz, whose impressive list of credits would later include Casablanca. Like the new film directed by Darren Aronofsky, it was ridiculously expensive to make and plagued by production disasters. The similarities don’t quite end there, but it’s the differences that may be most illuminating. First off, a disclaimer: I have not seen an advance screening of Noah, nor have I seen Noah’s Ark. Regarding…

True Detective’s Occult Conspiracy

…semi-obscure references. Noir aficionado Lincoln Michel gives us a reading list of the Gothic novels the show draws from; Louisianan Adrian Young writes in Slate about True Detective’s setting as a cultural landscape; while Emily Nussbaum’s smart feminist critique in last week’s New Yorker notes what’s not there, namely three-dimensional female characters. My own humble contribution to this critical bumper crop has to do with the word “occult,” th…
