By Peter Montgomery

…were being planned for this event would have been beneficial either to the participants or to our friends in the LGBT community. As such a decision has been made to cancel the event which had been locally organised by a group of members in the South London area. The Adventist Church strongly subscribes to a belief in freedom of speech. This also includes the freedom to hold different views. The Seventh-day Adventist Church seeks to minister to all…

Titanic: “Eurabian” Alarmism 2.0

By Haroon Moghul

…e’s cruel “birth pangs of a new Middle East,” and ongoing drone strikes to paint a parallel picture of an essentially violent West. The sad fact is, many people are untroubled by violence or extremism, except if it affects them, their interests, or those considered “like” themselves. This explains why it was so hard for the West to sustain interest in Afghanistan during the ’90s and why wars in countries with oil get our attention more quickly. Th…

The Problem We All Live With: Bearing Witness, But Never Finding Justice

By Emilie M. Townes

…lack folk and our allies have been saying this since this country became a republic and united itself around the notion of freedom. “The murders of Sterling and Castile reveal the awful fact that this brand of tragedy has become routine. The videos of their deaths allow us to bear witness, but it will not necessarily bring justice.” But we began this on the bad foot of Article I, Section 2, of the U.S. Constitution of 1787 that declared that, for…

The “Good Guy With a Gun” Myth

By Carlos Wilton

…e chest of Alton Sterling, an adversary who’s pinned to the ground. In St. Paul, the jittery good guy with a gun, a rising tone of panic in his voice, stubbornly points his weapon at Philando Castile, a man slumped in a car seat who’s clearly not long for this world. In Dallas, the good guys forsake their guns entirely, sending a whirring bomb-disposal robot to reverse its usual mission and blow up the bad guy in a kamikaze attack. Viral social-me…

Why We Need a Public Black Theology for the 21st Century

By Vincent Lloyd

…ibe this post-segregation shift is in terms of audience. With Dyson in the pages of The New Republic, Glaude in Time, and Harris-Perry once on MSNBC, now in Elle, Black public intellectuals are speaking to a predominantly white audience. Many other critics have examined the ways that Black leaders are cast as representatives of their race, translating the Black world for the white world, obviously an impossible task. This has always been the case,…

Maybe Trump Should Pray About His Problems With Religious Voters?

By Daniel Schultz

…much doubt Clinton will pull down 61% of the vote, but yikes. If you’re a Republican, that’s a scary number. You might reasonably intuit Trump’s miserable numbers with Catholic voters are the result of his poor showing with Hispanic voters, or stem from his “virulent” immigration policy. Certainly, getting scolded by Pope Francis or the likes of Cardinal Dolan (himself no left-winger) doesn’t help. But in fact, it’s white Catholics who have turne…

New History Finally Recognizes Afro-Creole Spiritualists

By Paul Harvey

…ere abolitionists, their whiteness and white privilege was an ever-present part of their religious practice. American politics and society based their hierarchies in part on racial difference, but the spirits communicating with the Cercle Harmonique denied the ontology of race. Though many of their Spiritualist contemporaries believed that one’s race remained with a person in the spiritual spheres, the messages received by the Cercle Harmonique id…

Trump Doesn’t Need to “Pivot” if Evangelicals Do it For Him

By Paul Harvey

…ve to shore up his evangelical base. There hasn’t been a pivot, but the campaign team has managed to hit the “partly reset” button—at least as long as they can keep their boss’s itchy fingers off Twitter. Whether this will sway the fracturing of a considerable number of Catholic voters from that base, however, remains dubious. His address to the group also shows his evolution into someone less ill-at-ease with Bible verses and more attuned to the…

Why the Lewd Trump Tapes Won’t Matter (As Much As You Think) in White Christian America

By Paul Harvey

…intellectual Eric Metaxas sees them), but “Killary” must be stopped or the Republic will cease to exist. What’s a little “locker-room banter” in comparison to those stakes? I’ve pondered the motivations driving people I know very well and otherwise have a lot in common with. On one level, the study linked above, contrasting those who continue to live close to home as adults versus those who move away, describes the split rather precisely. But it d…

Meddling Bishops Accuse Clinton of Meddling

By Patricia Miller

…en happy to sway Catholics toward an increasingly polarized and polarizing Republican Party over the issues of abortion, same-sex marriage and “religious liberty.” In fact, the loudest chorus of boos for Trump last night came when he said Clinton was only “pretending not to hate Catholics” based on the WikiLeaks emails, which isn’t much of a stretch from Kurtz’s statement. And Trump’s closing lines were a paean to the priorities of the Cardinal Do…
