Book Review
New book urges white Christians to assess their 'abuses of faith'
Book review: The book takes down a number of the personalities, institutions and structures of white Christian nationalism that led to President Donald Trump's election and who pose a continued serious threat to multiethnic democracy in the United States.
Book Review
The answer to suffering is justice
Book Review: Soul force is the place "where the Spirit of God and our human resilience meet," and it is "an awakening to the realization that we have a creative force within us, because we all bear the divine imprint of the Creator."
Book Review
Interfaith dialogue really is relational, accessible
Book Review: Finding Jesus Among Muslims should act as a "facilitator of dialogue." The book raises more questions than it answers, encouraging readers to go forth and learn more.
Commentary
Springfield bishop says no funeral rites for Catholics in same-sex marriages
Commentary: It is discrimination to target LGBT people when, in a certain sense, all Catholics could be deemed "manifest sinners."
