By Joanna Brooks

…efeat of the Equal Rights Amendment and threatened Mormon feminists with excommunication. It was the Salt Lake Tribune’s award-winning religion reporter Peggy Stack who first told the story in 2008 of Bishop Romney and his interactions with Boston-area Mormon feminists. (The New York Times’s Sheryl Stolberg followed Stack’s trail of sources for her solid piece on Romney as bishop last month.) The Post’s story adds nuance through in-depth interview…

As US Reaches a 1940s Fork in the Road — Which Path Will We Choose?

By John Stoehr

…emocratic leaders call this a “continuation of January 6.” https://twitter.com/therecount/status/1480225343537569802 That’s crucial, and we don’t know how this will play out. Another big, unpredictable factor is the pandemic. I think future historians (provided humanity survives) will debate how COVID helped push the previous president out of power, particularly his lack of ability to address it effectively. A third major factor is the midterms. Y…

The Sacred and the Dead: The Trouble with Sugar Magnolia

By Kaya Oakes

…dshow, Deadhead. Dominquez Hills, 1990. Photo by ChasM3/https://www.flickr.com/photos/chasm3/ “Sugar Magnolia,” however, still presents a challenge. Written by Robert Hunter and the band’s rhythm guitarist Bob Weir, its lyrics would raise the hackles of even the mildest of feminists. The subject of the song not only takes the wheel for a stoned driver but “pays my ticket when I speed.” “She don’t come and I won’t follow,” even while she “waits bac…

Romney’s Religion of Happiness vs. Gingrich’s Religion of Grievance

By Sarah Posner

…te (38%) in Florida is virtually the reverse of South Carolina, where they comprised 65% of voters, and which is why, in part, Romney is headed toward victory here tomorrow. At the Romney rally, the verdict on Gingrich was mixed. Liz Reiman, a Romney voter from Jacksonville, said she had been “intrigued” with Gingrich, whom she called “stunning and sometimes disturbing.” But, she concluded, he was “too volatile.” Catherine Baum, who said she was n…

LDS Apostle Says Same-Sex Attraction Can be Overcome

By Joanna Brooks

…ies responded almost immediately to the Sunday morning message. Said Laura Compton of Mormonsformarriage.com, “So many Mormons have worked hard to increase understanding of what homosexuality is and what it means to be faithful. Now we have this message coming from the pulpit in General Conference by the president of the Quorum of the Twelve. It seems like hitting a brick wall. Hopefully, this won’t make people stop and say, ‘It wasn’t worth it.’”…

Netanyahu’s Genocidal Religious Rhetoric isn’t Just an Appeal to the Israeli Right — He Has Another Constituency in Mind

By Brock Bahler

…the main characters, as virtuous, as saviors. A colonialist interpretation compels us to align ourselves with Moses, Daniel, Jesus, the Good Samaritan. Consequently, many aren’t trained to read the Bible from the margins, to see themselves in Hagar, the countless unnamed women, the man left for dead on the road to Jericho, or Simon the Cyrene. This is ironic, for much of the Bible is written from the perspective of those on the underside of empire…

The Birth of Un-Cool: How Disgusted Liberals Became Neoconservatives

By Michelle Goldberg

…Colleen Parro of the Republican National Coalition for Life told Lifenews.com that “Michael Steele has been keeping company with those who justify Roe v. Wade, oppose the pro-life plank in the Republican National Platform, wish to purge the Party of its [pro-life base].” When he won, it was taken a clear indication that the Republican Party is moving in a bigger-tent direction. It’s My Party, and I’ll Cry if I Want To In the end, though, Republic…

…ars? Graham has been an ardent supporter of President Donald Trump, who welcomed Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and Russian Ambassador Sergey Kislyak (and a Russian state photographer) to the White House on May 10, a day before the start of BGEA’s summit. This oddly timed photo-op, paired with Pence’s meeting with Metropolitan Hilarion, would seem to herald a turn toward normalization of relations between the U.S. and Russia. Evangelical l…

For example, Foxnews.com reported on November 6: “Federal law enforcement officials told The Associated Press that Hasan had come to their attention at least six months ago because of [note the word “his” is absent] Internet postings that discussed suicide bombings. The officials said they are still trying to confirm that [they could have said “determine whether”] he was the author.” The langua…

Prophetess Juanita Bynum: Hardly “Redefined”

By Jonathan L. Walton

…re. Yet I am not surprised that Prophetess Bynum remained steadfast in her commitment to milking this story for all its financial worth. Currently the televangelist is selling video footage of her recent 50th birthday gala under the title “Redefined,” donning her wedding dress. In an interview with Essence.com Bynum expressed that she wore the gown to show the world that she had “stepped into my womanhood.” And since the Prophetess believes hersel…
