By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ield her from all attack. They had so far. All I can say, Miss Prejean, is welcome to my world. I’ve been called many nasty names from fat to ugly, usually with “dyke” following close behind. I’ve been called a “false prophet” and a “heretic.” I’ve been called “bitch,” “whore,” and all those slurs women have to endure from a male-dominated society. You know what? No one has ever given me air time on the Today Show to complain about it. As a strugg…

By Haroon Moghul

…and critical tradition would be no bad thing. That’s a tall order, to be sure, because most madrasas are struggling just to teach impoverished pupils the rudiments of literacy, but some basic aspirations would be welcome. It would be nice if students were encouraged to understand the beliefs of non-Muslim communities, and taught not just to venerate tradition, but also to think through actual historical events. …

…lently embraced gay and lesbian members for years must publically hang the welcome banner. How long will we continue to limit and qualify our messages of acceptance, inclusion and embrace for the most vulnerable in order to maintain the comfort of those in our communities of faith who are well-served by the status quo? In the current climate, equivocating messages of affirmation are overpowered by the religious rhetoric of hatred. Silence only ser…

By Sarah Posner

…could be a biblical basis for a death penalty, that the United Nations has promoted the “homosexual agenda” to Uganda’s detriment, and he lauded the bill’s promoters’ efforts to take a “principled stand” against that.

Engle claimed to not specifically remember meeting with Bahati and Oyet while in Kampala, telling me: I don’t even remember their…

…rio Bergoglio, Archbishop of Buenos Aires, Argentina, seems likely to be a welcome progressive voice on economic justice issues and an unsurprisingly conservative voice on doctrinal and social issues.

By Chrissy Stroop

…ynamic is in play in megachurches like Hillsong that trumpet that “all are welcome,” while in fact these churches will neither solemnize same-sex weddings nor allow LGBTQ folks to volunteer or serve in leadership roles. For people who are supposedly against the bearing of false witness, non-affirming Christians invested in “respectability” sure are eager to deceive people with respect to their “welcoming” of members of the LGBTQ community. What’s…
