…ter woman for GOP politics, or will she be returned to the frozen tundra?* —- *There has been a surprisingly vibrant discussion surrounding the potential redundancy of the phrase ‘frozen tundra.’ The New York Times’ sports pages reported on Lake Superior State University’s eagerly awaited List of “Words Banished From the Queen’s English for Misuse, Overuse and General Uselessness, 2003 edition,” which banished ‘frozen tundra’ for being redundant (…

…as crucified by the Jews,” back in 2001, nevertheless had an extraordinary list of accomplishments: He “started out as a newspaper and radio reporter, then worked as an aide to Colorado’s Republican senator, Gordon Allott, before plunging into politics,” James Ridgeway and Alicia Ng wrote of his background in a September 2006 interview with Weyrich that focused on his opposition to The Patriot Act. “He set up the Heritage Foundation by persuading…

…ences long enough to make a difference in the world. A quick gander at the list of beliefs the Southern Baptists proclaim (or have proclaimed in the past) shows a lot of room for common ground including: The environment: The Southern Baptists acknowledged in 1990 that they are called to be faithful stewards of the earth. The impoverished: The denomination pledged back in 1972 to “support federal welfare reform legislation” to help the poor. Violen…

Searching for Sex, Life and Abortion on Catholic Google

By Kate Childs Graham

…and DignityUSA, a group working for LGBT rights in the Church, topped the list. However, if you search for “homosexual,” an organization called Courage comes up. Courage is an organization which tried to convince gay and lesbian Catholics to be chaste. It was only a matter of time before someone figured out how to “save the children” from that anti-Catholic blasphemy out in cyberspace. Heaven forbid they know what a condom is! At least some organ…

By Robert V. Thompson

…udes Republicans and Democrats, rich and poor, employed and unemployed—the list is endless. What if the opening prayer at the inauguration were a call to recognize that we are all a part of each other in the deepest and most profound way?

…avoidance activities; 75% hire outside consultants (union-prevention specialists) who set up command centers within the company to wage all-out war on the union; 50% threaten to shut down operations to scare workers; and 25% illegally fire union supporters. These aren’t just economic issues or labor abuses; they are human rights issues, and they were recognized as such in a Human Rights Watch report issued in 2000. In the years since that report c…

By Rabbi Michael Lerner

…usly. The creation of the State of Israel was a product of a Jewish nationalist movement that arose at the end of the 19th century and sought to provide protection for Jews who were treated as second-class citizens in both Christian Europe and Muslim countries for many hundreds of years. The desire for a safe haven made perfect sense, though the antagonism that they encountered from many Palestinians made perfect sense as well given the previous h…

Evangelical Church of Torture and Jack Bauer

By Jonathan L. Walton

…difference between Jesus and Jack Bauer on Fox’s megahit “24?” Like a long list of American messianic masculine archetypes (John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, and Mel Gibson), Jesus is situated in this tradition of bulletproof heroes who mock the machinations of torture.

…tl’s Revenge, The Passionate Torah is an anthology. The book’s contributor list includes “some of today’s smartest Jewish thinkers who explore a broad range of fundamental questions in an effort to balance ancient tradition and modern sexuality.” The Passionate Torah aims to “bridge the gap between the sacred and the sexual.” I recently spoke to Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg about the challenges of bringing new perspectives on sexuality and feminism to t…

By Jonathan L. Walton

…ouse and several Pentecostal organizations denounced him. And fellow evangelists that were once sycophants in his presence distanced themselves from him. (In the case of Bishop T.D. Jakes, the Dallas preacher dubiously acquired Pearson’s mailing list of subscribers and previously held prime-time spot on TBN). Within a few years, his 5,000 member congregation was down to a faithful few hundred, his church building was in foreclosure, and his future…
