By Michael Pasquier

…t to sea and rescued eight days later by the crew of a pilot boat 18 miles south of the mouth of the Mississippi River. Upon his return to what was left of Cheniere Caminada, he discovered that his parents and brother had died along with 800 other residents. Those who survived the flood moved “up the bayou” (as they still say in Lafourche Parish) to towns like Leeville and Golden Meadow. Today, what remains of Cheniere Caminada is a historic marke…

Bishops Rile Up the Religious Right, Then and Now

By Patricia Miller

…. Gerald Ford needed to hold on to that vote to offset his weakness in the South. Jimmy Carter was thought to have a “Catholic problem” as born-again Southern Baptist. Both, as I noted, ended up shamelessly courting the Catholic bishops: Americans were treated to the spectacle of both presidential candidates—neither of them Catholic—genuflecting before the bishops for their benediction. It was a lost cause for Carter given the Democratic Party’s o…

…o bring white students from the north to help register black voters in the south. That summer in Mississippi, 20 churches were burned by the Klu Klux Klan. One in particular, Mt.

He, along with James Chaney and Andrew Goodman, came back to the church to visit, and the three were arreste…

…new system of Yoga by claiming ties to the yoga tradition presented in the South Asian text popularly recognized as the “classical” source, the Yoga Sutras, usually attributed to Patanjali, as well as to later hatha yoga developments.

By Ivy George

…clay, descendants of the same cradle of humankind–a cave in Sterkfontein, South Africa that I had the privilege to descend into to plumb the depths of our common humanity in 2014. But perhaps such a call from the gospel was too daunting for the custodians of religious, racial and political purity at Wheaton College. The easy bedding of white American evangelicals with the U.S. state would make it difficult for them to see Hawkins—the college’s fi…

The Surprisingly Short History of Popular Yoga

By Andrea R. Jain and Michelle Goldberg

…vement shares with consumer culture can be found in tantra, the preeminent South Asian model of nondualism. In my analysis of the intersections of consumer culture and postural yoga, I found that postural yoga also shares a nondualist approach to the world and so reflects the dominant metaphysical mode of consumer culture. Of course, the type of nondualism assumed by premodern tantric yoga practitioners and that assumed by modern postural yogis ar…

Workers Once Forced the Social Gospel Into Churches—Can It Happen Again?

By Eric C. Miller

…decisively with the American Railway Union. At churches across the city’s South Side, meanwhile, Protestant churchgoers rose up against “scab ministers.” Nowhere was the backlash more severe than at Pullman Presbyterian Church. When the minister there railed against the strike—declaring at one point, “there is a maxim that half a loaf is better than no bread, and in my judgment the employees were getting two-thirds of a loaf”—working people walke…

‘My Name is Legion’: Sources and Forces of White Supremacy in the U.S.

By R. Drew Smith

…ment in the late 1700s. The combining of racially implicit Puritan essentialist doctrines with southern racial hierarchical ideas paved the way for much harder forms of race ontologies within the slave South during the 19th century. With abolitionism gaining momentum in the early 1800s, the slavocracy—with southern clergy in the forefront—responded with a variety of defenses of slavery. One of the more prevalent defenses was to argue, in character…

The Uncertain Post-Obergefell World of Religious Exemptions

By Sarah Posner

…combat efforts in some states, such as Texas, Alabama, North Carolina, and South Dakota, to thwart same-sex couples from obtaining marriage licenses. But its ultimate scope will be much broader, and will include lobbying efforts to defeat expansive religious freedom acts in the states, and litigating cases arising out of claims that religious freedom protects the rights, for example, of business owners who refuse wedding services to same-sex coupl…
