  • Iraq Diary0

    As we drove through the Iraqi countryside, I sat in the backseat of the SUV looking out the window in amazement at the pastoral scenes passing before me. With my teammates, Otto and Deanna, I had just crossed from the Turkish border into what is known as the Kurdistan area of Iraq. We were a

  • I'm Personally Opposed… But0

    In 2003 the soon-to-be-terminated governor of California, Gray Davis, was warned by his local bishop that the governor's boast of making California "the most pro-choice state in America" threatened his standing in the Catholic Church. When Davis was told by Sacramento bishop William K. Weigand either to change his views or to stop receiving Communion,

  • Faith in Politics0

    Henry David Thoreau once remarked on the "great flapping ear" of the American public wanting to know everything about everything. And, in spite of the elephantine imagery he seemed to use, the contemporary curiosity crosses all party lines.

  • Churches and the Siren Call of Politics0

    The Evangelical church in America is in real danger today. As if the effort to save people's souls weren't enough to deal with, today's church must also grapple with sex scandals, skyrocketing divorce rates, debates over gay marriage, and a nation in the midst of what seems to be an escalating religious war.

  • Why Silence is Not an Option0

    Religious communities that view sexual relations outside of the traditional marriage of one man and one woman as immoral and a "sin" ought to prepare for the greatest assault on religious freedom in recent memory. The assault will come from two fronts. One front will be external. As those in power begin taking a sympathetic

  • Teaching True Values0

    Perhaps it is not surprising that the classroom has become the battlefield of hot debate over public values. Schools, whether private or public, have often been the site of contention over values. They are the vehicles through which a society passes on its values and customs. As La Forest stated in Ross v. New Brunswick

  • Sex, Law And Politics0

    The debate about same-sex "marriage" is a quintessential example of competing values. In some ways it is almost a textbook example of the competition among politics, ethics, morality, and religion. The gay rights movement did not start in 1982, but for our purposes we reached a significant Canadian milestone in that year. Parliament passed the
