Abu Ghraib and the blame game

2004-06-02 14:47:22

A news report by The Washington Post's Caryle Murphy and a column by Frank Rich of The New York Times both explore the question of whether pornography helped create the atmosphere of abuse and sexual humiliation at Abu Ghraib prison. Murphy reports on a meeting that occurred at St. John the ...

Sing a new song

Journalists have trouble covering "normality" and everyday events in religious life, Terry noted yesterday. While news organizations tend to cover religious perspectives on contentious issues, denominational infighting, and the latest clerical scandals, the real action for the average devotee is in worship, prayer, personal piety and, if we're being honest, ...

The prayer of the publican

2006-04-17 13:10:35

I turned over a new leaf last year: I filed my taxes a month before they were due. This year, unfortunately, I'm back to my old tricks. I'll be with the throng of last-minute filers causing a pedestrian and auto traffic jam at the Capitol Hill post office late tonight. Easter ...

Sold on the Spirit

Readers in Denver should be thankful for Eric Gorski, the wonderful religion reporter at the Denver Post. I've read and enjoyed him for years. Gorski never takes the easy road when describing complex religious ideas. Because he takes the time to understand nuance, his stories are much more fleshed out. His ...

The PB and her amazing technicolor dreamcoat

2006-11-06 01:52:10

The Episcopal Church invested a new leader this weekend. Katharine Jefferts Schori was elected the first female presiding bishop in June, and media reports then focused on the milestone. Jefferts Schori's election also provoked a possible schism in the church because of her vote to confirm the election of a ...

Filling in that Obama faith timeline

2007-01-30 10:03:48

Relax. I have little or no interest in the shoddy stories about Barack Obama and his alleged years studying in a madrassa in Pakistan. No, I am interested in the faith of the adult Obama. Which led me, the other day, to a Chicago Tribune story by reporter Manya A . ...

Theology breaks out

2007-04-18 17:54:36

The tragic shootings Monday at Virginia Tech tell a story about life and death, and whenever those subjects are discussed religion will no doubt become involved. Tmatt wrote on Tuesday that the "religion shoe" would soon drop. And as predicted, religion did drop throughout the day's memorial service. The memorial service ...

Preacher investigation needs more coverage

2008-03-03 08:02:37

Someone needs to get a good in-depth interview with the staffer (or staffers) on Iowa Republican Senator Chuck Grassley's staff who is heading up the investigation of televangelists, which seems to be picking up lately. A couple of meager stories trickled out last week about a couple of ministers/evangelists who ...

Hey Newsweek: Input, we need input

2008-03-12 10:12:48

As a rule, your GetReligionistas are fond of the regular Belief Watch column that appears in the crowded front pages of Newsweek. But I have a bone to pick with the recent mini-feature that ran with the headline, "Stop Your Sobbing -- Now." It opens with a series of anecdotes about ...

Define "emerging," give three examples

2008-05-11 07:16:52

Long-time GetReligion readers may remember that I have been, and remain, very confused about the meaning of the term "emerging church" and how it relates to that other confusing term "evangelical." There was even a time, two years ago or thereabouts, when GetReligion.org was named one of the top weblogs ...
