Why I Wrote the Freedom Seder And Why It’s Still Necessary 50 Years After Dr. King’s Assassination

By Arthur Waskow

…tian radical A. J. Muste calling Moses the organizer of “Brickmakers Union Number 1” and a pacifist Russian rabbi named Tamaret—wove them all into a new Telling of the tale of freedom. In that Telling, the then ongoing, even now unfinished, struggle of Black America for freedom was interwoven with the ancient story of the Israelites’ struggle to end their slavery under Pharaoh. Where the old Haggadah had what seemed to me a silly argument about ho…

A Muslim Reflects on Christian Theologian (and UCLA Coach) John Wooden

By Amir Hussain

…mportantly for the life lessons. His beloved wife Nellie had passed away in 1985 after 53 years of marriage, and my wife had died suddenly in 1992. Coach gave me a powerful model for dealing with that loss, a reminder that those we loved were always in our lives. On the 21st of each month (Nellie had passed on March 21), Coach would write a letter to Nellie, adding it to the neat pile on her side of the bed. During my development as a teacher, I c…

Like Azusa Street Baptized into Bureaucracy: Mexico’s Flourishing LLDM Church Loses its Apostle

By Michael Schulson

…oon built a following among poor Guadalajarans, in part by offering social services. In 1954, he managed to secure a piece of land on the eastern outskirts of the city, which he named Hermosa Provincia—beautiful province. Ten years later, Aarón died, and Samuel took over as the church’s president, father in faith, and living apostle. At the time, the church was mostly a local affair, with its tight-knit membership clustered in the enclave of Hermo…

Dispatch from Charlottesville: “It Was a War Zone. It Felt Like There Were a Million Nazis.”

By Sunnivie Brydum

…you care more about maintaining the image and safety of your Sunday morning 11:00 service, than you do about the reality that Charlottesville, and several years ago, Baltimore, Ferguson, and how these cities turn into a war zone? Then you’re actually just preaching a theology of white supremacy. You’re preaching a logic of dominance. And emboldening the neo-Nazis who are surrounding the church, who believe that they, too, are Christians. Right. I…

Hajj Journal: M & M

By Amina Wadud

…though this, the men would hover around the tent entries, send notes, make phone calls, actually get their phone cords recharged, and send food and drink through every possible opening in the tent. As far as I could tell, it was always the men hanging around our tent and not the women hanging around the men’s tent. Pretty funny if you think about it. They were like lost puppies without their women. Yet patriarchy would have us think they are the m…

End-Times Watcher Sees Satan in an Energy Drink

By William R. Black

…three names contained six letters. Indeed, when the Reagans retired to Bel Air in 1989, they asked to have their new address changed from 666 to 668 St. Cloud Road. The truth is that we are evolutionarily hard-wired to find patterns even when they do not exist. Two or three people you know fall ill and you say, “There’s a bug going around.” Every time you press the crosswalk button, the sign eventually says “Walk,” so you press the button every ti…

Do Not Have Sex with This Man

By Sarah Sentilles

…with just 63 births per 1000 women of childbearing age (compared to 71 per 1000 in 1990). Americans used to be good at populating the planet, Douthat laments. “Our famous religiosity, our vast interior and wide-open spaces (and the four-bedroom detached houses they make possible), and our willingness to welcome immigrants” gave us a “demographic edge,” he writes (though Douthat’s own Republican party had a lot to say in the last year about exactl…

Religious Right Historian: Net Neutrality is “Unbiblical Socialism”

By Julie Ingersoll

…air into which they pour that waste associated with their production. The air is “owned” by all of us. So if the company is not required to repair the damage caused by its production process, in a sense we are subsidizing the production cost of whatever they make. Often what is framed as a choice between the free market and socialism is neither. Net Neutrality prohibits ISPs from charging for internet service based on usage. This seems straightfo…
