Killjoy Prophets: A Response to Tony Jones’ “In Praise of Empires”

Last updated on: November 7, 2014 at 2:26 am By Killjoy Prophets

By Daniel Fan News Flash: White Cis Hetero Male finds Empire Not So Bad After All A response to Tony Jones’ “In Praise of Empires” Courtney and I are in Rome this week, compliments of Focus Features and A Different Drummer, to visit the set of a movie based on Anne Rice’s novel, Christ the Lord: Out of Egypt. We are embargoed from writing anything about the movie (yet), but my fifteenth trip to the Eternal City has brought on... Read more

Emergence in Empire

Last updated on: November 5, 2014 at 7:53 pm By Mike Stavlund

It’s a four-year-old’s game of infinite regression, yet more profound than she can possibly know. “Daddy, what would we do if we couldn’t buy gas?,” she asks with an impish grin when she knows she should be eating breakfast. I will play the game if she’ll have another bite. “Well, sweetie, I guess we’d go to a different gas station!” “And what if that gas station was out of gas too? And the other one. What if all of them were... Read more

What do Pee Wee Herman and Non-Attachment have in common?

Last updated on: November 5, 2014 at 4:53 pm By Anita Brown

Two days ago I purchased my monthly copy of Mantra Yoga+Health magazine. I was anticipating my “highlight” as I had submitted an answer to the question ‘What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done for L O V E?’. I had answered in an honest way that is uniquely me; expressing my voice and hoping to marry my emergent Christian faith with my yogic sensibilities. No sign of my Joe Longo pic I submitted, no talk of foot washing humility….hmmmm? The... Read more

Not That Kind of…Person?

Last updated on: November 4, 2014 at 6:48 pm By Kile Jones

My friend Dylan first introduced me to the show “Girls” during a brief stint I had living in Brooklyn. I fell in love with it. The writing was quirky and intelligent, Lena Dunham’s character didn’t look like someone from Sex and The City, and the strange manner in which it dealt with millennial life was refreshing. And even though it was wrought with Long-Island-white-girl issues (“first-world problems”), it had a flair and contemporary élan worthy of praise and notoriety. But is... Read more

Election Day: Recuperation, Trasformismo, and a Spectacularized & Commodified Jesus

Last updated on: November 4, 2014 at 7:09 am By Tim Conder

Cricket: Jesus is never mad at us — if we live with him in our hearts? Tommy: I hate to break it to you, but he is. He most definitely is. I [Heart] Huckabees (2004) Election Day, 2014. Our votes today will be translations of our political ideologies into a series of choices from a limited option set. These ideologies are the products of many factors including our life experiences and personal faith/worldviews. But there will be more happening... Read more

Remove My Unbelief

Last updated on: October 31, 2014 at 8:22 am By Scott Bostic

“Oh Father rescue me from doubt Deliver me from grief Let your joy in me abound Remove my unbelief, remove my unbelief” These are the words from a song by Jenny & Tyler, titled “When Darkness Falls.” And while the closing line is taken from Mark 9:24, these words strike me this day quite differently than I would normally expect. When I first read these words, I thought they might be from a Psalm, because of the generally poetic nature... Read more

You can’t give it up, can you?

Last updated on: October 29, 2014 at 9:11 pm By Dr. Robyn

Several years ago, after what I thought was a horrible ordination process, I decided to leave the church. It was a weekday when I decided that I would never step back into the church. The only problem was that I was serving as a chaplain in a level II trauma center outside of Chicago, IL, so I had to be confronted with normative Christian discourse and theologies that I found to be hugely problematic. But, nonetheless, I decided to leave.... Read more

Black to the Mothership

Last updated on: October 26, 2014 at 3:38 pm By Micky Jones

By Micky ScottBey Jones Spaceships. Neon Slaves. Androids. A Metropolis. Not the usual ingredients for a theological discussion. A world that is “now and not yet” – existing in our hearts and minds – in our imaginations – with only glimpses breaking through in lived experience – that could describe what Jesus called the kingdom of God, yet I feel like it also describes the worlds of Afrofuturism. Dare we imagine a future that doesn’t seem possible in order to... Read more

Why Religion Needs “Nones”

Last updated on: October 24, 2014 at 10:04 am By Leigh Finnegan

In 2012, a Pew Foundation Survey on religion revealed the rising number of religiously unaffiliated Americans — sometimes referred to as “the rise of the Nones” (not to be confused with “The Rise of the Nuns,” a movie script that’s been floating around in my head since the day I discovered “nunzilla”). Of course, labeling millions of people “Nones” (as if they stand for nothing) is a bit disingenuous. In reality, the study showed that most of the Nones self-identify... Read more
