By Michael J. Altman

…humanists, and other nonbelievers, though kids from religious families are welcome, too.” Speaking of leaving religion, Liberty University removed Ergun Caner as dean of the seminary after questions arose regarding his Muslim background. Apparantly, Liberty wasn’t sure if and how Caner left his former tradition. Caner’s removal prompted RD’s Hussein Rashid to ask, “does one have to be an ex-Muslim to be a good Christian?” The Gulf oil spill contin…

New Egyptian Appointee Vows to Prevent Sunnis from Falling into ‘Shi‘i Trap’

By Christopher Anzalone

…rnment’s approach toward Sunnis in Iran. He said that he would continue to welcome Shi‘i students at al-Azhar in order to “introduce them” to the Sunni tradition. He also said that he would continue al-Azhar’s policy of dialogue with Shi‘i Muslims, particularly Twelvers, that began in 1961 when the then-shaykh al-Azhar, Mahmoud Shaltout, issued a fatwa recognizing the Shi‘i school of jurisprudential thought. Al-Tayyib said that his policy was aime…

…he first mosque in North America near Ross, North Dakota in 1929 (and this welcome of immigrants, given recent events in Syria, is a history more urgent to our memories).

From Christian Temperance to D.A.R.E. — The War on Drugs Has its Roots in White Christian Nationalism

By Andrew Monteith

…to be authentically welcoming for people of other races or religions, such welcome was an extension of Christian charity from a Christian nation. God was forging a new White race out of the United States, which was destined to lead the world toward the promised Kingdom. American destiny was not a sure thing, however—it was God’s offer, not his guarantee. Hobson was partly influenced by phrenology—a nineteenth-century pseudoscience that claimed to…

Rewriting the History of Catholic Schools in America

By Marian Ronan

…ust go along with this story. As a fellow Brooklyn Catholic put it, it’s a welcome change to have a Catholic bishop portrayed as something other than a sex-abuse enabler. And, as historian Philip Jenkins observes, contemporary US anti-Catholicism is fueled by liberal Catholics like me saying things about their church that Protestants haven’t said since Vatican II. Nevertheless, if we’re going to resurrect “Dagger John,” there are a few little deta…

Some Of My Best Friends Are Nazi Reenactors! And Soft Porn Producers!

By Sarah Posner

…Kosher home, his wife Chris, and their children Ian and Devon, are always welcome. . . . Anytime the subject comes up Rich is not shy about his stance on Israel and the importance of it remaining a Jewish state. I know he also traveled to Israel to train with their airborne troops. You have to love this. A Republican who likes to dress as a Nazi enlists his business partner — a Jewish soft porn actor and producer from Hollywood — to defend him o…

RDPulpit: Evangelical Manifesto, the “Chamomile Tea” of Theologies

By Daniel Schultz

…seems fair and sensible. In fact, the authors of the Manifesto explicitly welcome the participation of all faiths, and no faith, in public life. Get everyone together over a cup of Sanka, and we’ll hammer out our differences. This consensus-building sounds appealing, but it has its own pitfalls. Jeff Sharlet, in a comment at my site, argues that as difficult as conservative evangelical dissent has been in the past forty years, it has at least pre…

Should NASA Have Given $1.1 Million to a Theology Institute?

By Michael Schulson

…us terms.” In this view, theology is a kind of pluralistic discussion that welcomes all kinds of premises and belief commitments as it tackles shared questions. It’s not just haggling over dogma, or defining the nature of God. I asked Sheehan why, if NASA wanted to address certain big questions about astrobiology and society, they should turn to theologians, instead of asking philosophers or sociologists or religious studies scholars to come up wi…

Romney Stands Up to Bryan Fischer at Values Voters Summit

By Joanna Brooks

…as importantly shaped who we have become as a people. We must continue to welcome faith into the public square and allow it to flourish. Our government should respect religious values, not silence them. We will always pledge our allegiance to a nation under God. Our values ennoble the citizen, and strengthen the nation. We should remember that decency and civility are values too. One of the speakers who will follow me today, has crossed that line…

Southern Baptist Pres Denounces Gay Bashing in Favor of Eternity in Hell

By Candace Chellew-Hodge

…ty in hell for their “sin.” The homophobia he condemns is because that desire to “save” had meant by any means necessary, even shunning or shaming gays and lesbians. Now, he wishes to welcome them (but still with the same agenda to “save” them) not to accept them. Tell me again how that’s not just another form of homophobia?…
