Cutting ‘the Rev.’ out of a key Ravens executive’s work

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 6:28 pm By tmatt

If you number yourself among the millions and millions of Americans who follow the National Football League, then you know that this coming week is one of the most interesting, important and traumatic times of the year. It’s the time when “The Turk” walks the hallways at NFL camps, delivering the horrible news to players that they have been cut from the final rosters that teams take into the new season. For many players, it represents the quick end of... Read more

Hurrah: Learning more about Antoinette Tuff’s religion

Last updated on: January 7, 2019 at 4:07 pm By mollie

The other day I was reading an obituary of Tom Christian, descendent of the Bounty mutineer. It was in the New York Times and written by my very favorite obituary writer, Margalit Fox. So, right up top the obit included this line: Mr. Christian, who for his services to Pitcairn was named a Member of the British Empire in 1983, was long considered an elder statesman on the island. He served for years on the Island Council, the local governing... Read more

The Boston Globe shows how to write about church planters

Last updated on: August 26, 2013 at 11:58 am By Joe Carter

Earlier this month I called a story about a church planter in Brooklyn the worst religion story of the year. I don’t like to write harsh critiques (really, I don’t) but it’s frustrating to have an interesting story mangled by shoddy reporting. While reading that terrible Daily News piece I wondered, “What could this article have done right?” To my surprise, the Boston Globe recently provided an answer. While their feature is about a group of church planters in Boston,... Read more

After Hasan trial: Spot big religion ghost in this story

Last updated on: August 25, 2013 at 2:50 pm By tmatt

The military trial of Maj. Nidal Hasan was never — as a journalism story — really about whether or not he was guilty of massacring his unarmed colleagues at Ft. Hood, Texas. With Nasan representing himself and openly discussing his role as the gunman, the key issues in the trial were linked to his own explanation of his faith-driven motives and the degree to which his superiors knew of his convictions in the months before his rampage. Now, with the... Read more

Religion and the 1963 March on Washington

Last updated on: August 24, 2013 at 3:02 pm By mollie

August 28 is the 50th anniversary of the 1963 March on Washington. There’s a huge rally down at the Lincoln Memorial today and media coverage has been ramping up in preparation. One of the complaints we’ve gotten about that coverage is that it has oddly avoided mention of the religious component of the original march and of continued civil rights efforts. And that has been missing from some coverage. But let’s look at some of the coverage that did cover... Read more

Pod people: Has the gay movement peaked?

Last updated on: August 24, 2013 at 1:38 pm By geoconger

In a speech delivered at the Mansion House in London on 10 Nov 1942, Winston Churchill predicted the British victory at the battle of El Alamein would mark the turn of the tide of Germany’s fortunes. The hitherto unstoppable Wehrmacht had been defeated, and the historical inevitability of a German victory was gone. But, he added: Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. but it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning.... Read more

What do Egyptians really mean when they say ‘sharia’?

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 1:23 pm By tmatt

One of the major themes in GetReligion posts about Islam over the past decade has been our emphasis on the fact that there is no one monolithic Islam, no one simplistic way for journalists to approach that faith. For millions, Islam is truly a religion of peace. For millions of others, Islam is not — when it collides with minority religions and the modern world — a religion of peace. There is no one Islam. This theme also applies to... Read more

Americans prejudiced against Al Jazeera?

Last updated on: August 23, 2013 at 9:48 pm By Bobby Ross Jr.

The new cable news channel Al Jazeera America is drawing a lot of major media attention. USA Today asks in a relatively meaty story: Al Jazeera America: Will U.S. viewers buy it? A chunk of that report: While journalists may be eager to join a news outlet that promises to air in-depth coverage, media analysts wonder how excited American viewers will be about a Middle Eastern-owned news operation with a controversial past and a programming approach that avoids shrill partisan...

Guess which sin makes church discipline newsworthy?

Last updated on: August 22, 2013 at 5:40 pm By Joe Carter

Every week, in churches around the world, Christians engage in a peculiar practice in which they confront and correct fellow believers on a range of issues, which are often lumped into a general category called “sins.” The process for this practice was first outlined by a popular religious leader named Jesus and recorded in a book known as the Gospel of Matthew: If your brother or sister sins, go and point out their fault, just between the two of you....

So, is Benedict XVI lying about motives for his retirement?

Last updated on: August 22, 2013 at 3:00 pm By tmatt

So let’s say that The Telegraph prints a story from its Rome bureau about the interesting new statements by Pope Benedict XVI about events surrounding his historic decision to retire. The top of the story, logically enough, starts with Benedict’s own point of view: “God told me to do it,” the 86-year-old former pontiff told a friend, six months after his decision to step down shocked the world’s 1.2 billion Catholics. God had implanted in his heart the “absolute desire”... Read more
