When and Where I Grieve

Last updated on: October 22, 2014 at 8:58 am By Guest Contributor

By Yolanda Pierce, Ph.D.,from KineticsLive.com The tears started while I was sitting in a Barnes and Noble bookstore and they refused to stop. I gathered my laptop and purse, hurried back to the car, and sat quietly – expecting the flow to cease. But it would not. Tears were in my eyes on the way back home and tears stayed with me throughout the day. I wept while folding the laundry and while trying to decide what to cook for... Read more

Ferguson and the Church’s Responsibility: A Call to Black Power

Last updated on: October 22, 2014 at 8:55 am By Guest Contributor

In July 1966, an informal group of clergy met to discuss events that had happened a month earlier. In June, Stokely Carmichael lit the world on fire with his call to consciousness in his cry of “black power.” Carmichael’s black power cry was the culmination of years of black freedom struggle that endured police and mob lynchings, voting law restrictions, unfair arrests and prison sentences, inequitable education, and separate but (un)equal public accommodations (sound familiar?). Carmichael and his colleagues in... Read more

Atheists in Foxholes: The Military Chaplaincy’s Humanist Problem

Last updated on: October 22, 2014 at 8:52 am By Guest Contributor

Do American military chaplains need to believe in God? Or, as the Navy Times once asked, “Who supports the atheists in the military?” These questions attracted renewed attention this year after the Army formally recognized humanism as a religious preference for soldiers in April, and the Navy rejected the application of a humanist chaplain to join its ranks in June. The issue of how to meet the needs of non-theists in the military is neither new nor incidental. Rather, “who... Read more

Ferguson: ‘The ‘Come to Jesus’ Moment for Us in the Church’

Last updated on: October 20, 2014 at 6:51 pm By Guest Contributor

Danielle Dowd was back in front of the Ferguson police department Oct. 15, just two days after being arrested there while protesting the fatal police shooting of unarmed teenager Michael Brown and other African-American youths. Since Brown’s Aug. 9 death, “I’ve come a couple of days every week, except for when my 7-year-old daughter had her tonsils out and I needed to do the mom thing. I’ve been able to form some good relationships with young people, whose voices need... Read more

Beyond Belief: Postmodernity & Religion

Last updated on: October 19, 2014 at 7:32 pm By Guest Contributor

As I have read more writing on postmodernism I have begun to question many of the assumptions that I have learned throughout my education career. Recently, I have begun to question my own belief about the study of religion. Specifically, through reading Anderson’s piece on postmodernism and religion I question my previous notions of what categorizes religion. I attended TCU as an undergraduate and religion was one of my majors. I chose religion as my major because I wanted to... Read more

What or Who is Driving Americans Away from Religion?

Last updated on: October 18, 2014 at 4:04 pm By Guest Contributor

In 2002, then-Berkeley (now-NYU) sociologist Michael Hout and I published apaper pointing out a new trend in Americans’ religious identity: A rapidly increasing proportion of survey respondents answered “no religion” when asked questions such as “What is your religious preference? Is it Protestant, Catholic, Jewish, some other religion, or no religion?” In the 1991 General Social Survey, about 7 percent answered no religion and in the 2000 GSS, 14 percent did. [1] We explained the trend this way: the increase was not connected... Read more

The Life of ‘Scholar Activist’ Rosemary Radford Ruether

Last updated on: October 18, 2014 at 3:33 pm By Guest Contributor

Rosemary Radford Ruether embodies the theological vocation well lived. Her scope is awesome, her writing compelling, her commitment to a livable planet unceasing. The impact of her work can be found in so many fields and hearts that she fairly defines the term “scholar activist,” teaching and mentoring generations of appreciative colleagues, myself included, by challenging fundamental ways of thinking. I met Rosemary in the fall of 1972 when we accidentally sat down at the same table in the refectory... Read more
