A Primer on Activism from Unitarian Universalists

By Kim Bobo

…an e-mail invitation to 30,000 people on the Standing on the Side of Love list asking them to join her in Phoenix. Rev. Paul Langston-Daley, minister at the West Valley UU Church in Glendale, served as a bridge between the national UUA and local organizing work. The Unitarian Universalist Congregation at Shelter Rock provided travel support for those unable to get there themselves. Months of preparation went into making the experience a meaningfu…

The Tea Party: Not Just For Racists Anymore

By Daniel Schultz

…the state with their film “Out In The Silence,” and Perry County is on the list of future venues. … The leader of the Potter County Tea Party, through a local blogger, claimed the library was allowing conservative Christians to be “attacked for our beliefs at a public library we support with our tax money. This is wrong and cannot be tolerated.” Later, he apologized for using the tea party name to express his personal opinion. Now, I know that la…

Immigration As A Progressive Game Changer—Without Evangelical Support

By Sarah Posner

…y for them, as evidenced most recently by the anti-choice Susan B. Anthony List’s California Latino voter education effort and the Vota Tus Valores campaign. But it’s curious that Grandin cites as his case in point for moveable Latino evangelicals the Rev. Samuel Rodriguez, head of the National Hispanic Christian Leadership Conference. Rodriguez, despite his own claims to be more of a moderate or at least a free agent, is already entrenched in the…

Does Hitchens Have a Prayer?

By Garret Keizer

…ed by 15 minutes of fame or even 15 weeks on the New York Times Bestseller List than by 15 years of arduous preparation in order to heal the sick? That leads us to the subject of people in Haiti who also get cancer, and how many doctors and nurses they have at their disposal, but let’s not go there. And we probably won’t. Instead, let us turn our thoughts to the poor hack writer who views another man’s sickness and suffering mainly as an opportuni…

A Mennonite on American Obesity

By Lauri Lebo

…obesity in South Central PA, and its prevalence among Christians and non-Christians alike, I remembered something about gluttony being one of the seven deadly sins. And then it hit me like a T-bone steak through my TV screen—that’s right up there with lust on the list of deadly sins. Here we were, slothfully chowing away in the richest nation in the world, in a mall a few doors down from Excitement Video, where we could later amble over to engage…

LDS Church Issues New Statement on Immigration

By Joanna Brooks

…alling itself “Concerned Citizens of the United States” distributed a watchlist with the names, social security numbers, and other personal information of 1300 alleged undocumented immigrants. (Several state workers are now under investigation for allegedly using state databases to compile the list.) The Church’s compassionate but non-ideological statement reflects a deep Mormon tradition of pragmatism as well as the Church’s evolving consciousnes…

Gay Republicans Question Conservative Credentials

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…Norquist is the president of Americans for Tax Reform (ATR) and has a long list of conservative affiliations from the National Rifle Association to the American Conservative Union. In his bio he proudly includes a quote from Arianna Huffington calling him “The dark wizard of the Right’s anti-tax cult.” The fact that Norquist has lent his considerable conservative clout to a gay group has Tony Perkins at the Family Research Council on the attack, a…

Will Gender and Sexuality Rend The Anglican Communion?

By Becky Garrison

…tian Culture, “What the last few days have shown is how weak the traditionalist voice is in the C of E. When the vote on women’s ordination to the priesthood went through about 20 years ago the compromise motion allowing alternative bishops was an inevitable part of it. Today it isn’t.” Hence, I’m not convinced that the ordination of women bishops will create a schism similar to the Great Schism of 1064 that created a perment fissure between the R…

Bristol Palin Bags Baby Daddy

By Anthea Butler

…idential election, Playgirl, and perhaps a liaison with a woman from the D-List. All kidding aside, it is Bristol Palin that I have had the most empathy for throughout this last two years. After all, it’s hard to be pregnant as a teenager, and especially have the whole world find out about it because your mother is a vice presidential candidate. It’s also hard when that same mother puts you out on the media stroll hawking the virtues of abstinence…

Sex Miseducation: Prof Fired for Pushing Catholic ‘Natural Law’

By Janine Giordano Drake

…, and began to shift their language on the purpose of marriage from a unit promoting children to a unit promoting love, support, and fellowship. In 1927, Jewish professor of Talmud, Jacob Lauterbach, famously presented his “Talmudic–Rabbinic View on Birth Control,” which maintained that as long as a couple was able to have both a boy and girl over the course of their marriage, their responsibility to propagate the race was fulfilled and therefore…
