Last updated on: September 16, 2013 at 7:00 am By Guest Contributor

by Kimberly Peeler-Ringer R3 Contributor Over the past month or so, there has been quite a bit of Internet chatter as to why Millennials aren’t going to church. As a member of their big sister generation, Generation X, the eternal little sister to the Baby Boomers, I’m torn between apathy and Jan Brady Syndrome. (“Marcia, Marcia, Marcia!”) Of course, we should be concerned when any generation is turning away from the church in large numbers, especially at a time when church attendance across... Read more

Now we here at Rhetoric Race and Religion thought we would collect some of the editorials and essays responding to the verdict. We ask that if... Read more

The Difference a Feminist Makes

Last updated on: September 14, 2013 at 9:52 pm By Andre E. Johnson

I recently started a new position as a full-time lecturer in the Department of Religion at Baylor University. Earlier this week, I attended a gathering for the department, where I was introduced, along with a few others, as new faculty. At the end of the evening, the wife of a retired male professor introduced herself to me and remarked about how happy she was to see more women in the department. (Four full-time faculty members were hired this year, and... Read more

Radical Protestant, Radical Democrat: Cornel West and the Possibility of Public Theology

Last updated on: September 13, 2013 at 9:15 am By Guest Contributor

“Radical Protestant public theology” is neither a misnomer nor a mistake.

Reinhold Niebuhr, the last great American public theologian, argued that Christian love is an “impossible ideal” impracticable by citizens. Ecclesial theologians consider it a mistake because anything as abstract and generic as... Read more
