…long time. The empty feeling. The imagery of the forest fire still burning underground. Author Margaux Fragoso wasn’t talking about evangelical Christianity though. She was talking about the victims of pedophiles. There was this girl who said it’s as if the pedophile lives in a fantastic kind of reality, and that fantasticness infects everything.

…guys who can be absolutely right or batshit crazy depending on the issue being discussed. When it comes to civil liberties, he’s actually pretty strong. He’s an outspoken critic of asset forfeiture laws, prosecutorial immunity, abuse of eminent domain and is in the right on many other issues. But he’s also one of those folks who rants about the evils of the 17th amendment, which is definitely crank territory. But at least as a former judge, he’s…

…gelical. Bergeron told RD, “White supremacy holds Asians in a weird light, complimenting them on being the ‘good minority,’ while also devaluing women into sex objects who exist for their pleasure.” Describing her own experience, she recalled, “As an adult in the SBC, I saw this fetish and devaluation from white men who thought I should have sex with them because as an Asian, I was a geisha (which they take to mean ‘sex worker’), and so it’s not r…

…ess to abortion in this country, including majorities of White Mainline Protestants, Black Protestants, and Catholics. When will people of good faith and good will stand up and reject the dominant narrative of abortion in this country that requires women to “justify” their abortions? When will the mainstream press cover the fact that the majority of Christians in this country are pro-choice? Recognizing and affirming the full humanity of women wil…

A Note To Churches During Pride: If You’re Not LGBTQ-Affirming, Keep Your Water

…hurches that host booths or floats should be entirely transparent and forthcoming about where their denominations stand on same-sex marriage and LGBTQ-affirmation.

The Roots of White Evangelicalism’s Crisis Are in White Evangelical Churches, Not Republican Politics

…John Perkins took in this scene and saw self-satisfied white congregations denying their complicity with an age of racial injustice. In 1982 he called white evangelicalism “the most segregated, racist institution in America.” While white evangelicals treated their movement’s success as a sign of God’s blessing and their own devotion to the gospel, Perkins declared that a gospel that didn’t confront American racism was “no gospel at all.” White eva…

Stop Trying to Save Jesus: ‘Fandamentalism’ Reinforces the Problem of Christian Supremacism

…we must also admit that competing interpretations of Christianity hold up competing understandings of Jesus. And that those various “Jesuses” have real power in their respective Christian communities. Put aside, for a moment, the question of what the historical Jesus “was really like.” New Testament scholars have often found Jesus to be an admirable healer and anti-authoritarian figure, but there are others, like Iowa State University Religious S…
