I sent it a couple months ago while thinking about Muslim- Christian ecumenism and it got some wheels turning in my head over what needs to be said in general about ecumenism within the Christian community. I am glad the topic occurred to me a couple months earlier, as I was able to get my thoughts on Muslims out without the cognitive dissonance of watching the escalation of the refugee crisis in Europe and the violence of the Paris attacks in France, which now we Californians have seen erupt in San Bernardino as well. Of course, as a Christian I see some major issues where the Koran needs to be reconciled with the Christian faith. The most important of these is that they see it as blasphemy to say that Jesus is God, but I think there is a functional equivalent between the Christian view of the docetic heresy, and the Muslim view that the statement “Jesus is God” is blasphemous, because Muslims fail to understand what is meant by unity of “essence” rather than “persons” of the Trinity. So I think it is a reconcilable point. Some might wonder about the sagacity of studying ecumenism at this time though, in the context of so much religious extremism in the news, and I would counter that this is the perfect time to be studying ecumenism. Though ecumenism and religious violence need not be studied together, the ecumenical impulse can be viewed as a polar opposite of the impulse to religious violence and is a way of circumventing religious hostility. Ecumenism is animated by ongoing give-and- take engagement, while religious violence issues from a place of judgment where we dare to place ourselves alongside God in deciding ultimate questions for others. The religiously motivated violence that we see emanating from extremist Muslims or anti-abortion activists, is a problem that contrasts with ecumenism and may be amenable to the philosophical/theological dialogue, making this discussion timely considering the urgency of dialogue that is increased by crises of violence. And now we see Professor Larycia Hawkins has her tenured teaching position at Wheaton put in jeopardy for being an ecumenical Christian who dares to agree with Pope Francis in her understanding of God, as both the monotheistic God of Abraham and Muhammad, and as being the same as the Christian deity, which makes her doctrinally a theologically misspoken evangelical in Wheaton’s eyes. Incidentally, when Muslims say we are all people of the Book, they are referring to Moses’ Book of the Law, that we are people of the Torah, which Jesus said He came to uphold rather than abolish. So in quoting the Jewish and Muslim way of identifying with God’s law, Professor Hawkins was not necessarily being un-Christian, and while the 5 | Ecumenism, T rinity, Unity, Christian Science Reed Troutman question of whether we worship the same God as Muslims is slightly more complicated, many think she is correct on this point too. Her understanding may not be going against the majority view within Christianity, but against a specific version of protestant orthodoxy. By saying that there is only One God that Christians and Muslims both worship, and from Whom we are blessed with our universal human dignity by being created in the image of God, she may be only starting from a different point in understanding of the Trinity than Wheaton college is, resulting in mere terminological difference. We could joke that starting from a different theological angle is too much popery for Wheaton. But we should actually admire Wheaton for sticking to their theological guns and making an issue out of theology, which people too often think of as a dead letter and throw out the window in favor of go-along to get-along attitudes about what are actually the most important questions in the intellectual side of religion. Though we hope they will be receptive to Professor Hawkins’ desire for reconciliation as well. This is a great chance for Professor Hawkins and Wheaton to give the world an example of theological debate and reconciliation. As Dietrich Bonhoeffer says, the gospel makes room for itself on earth, even and precisely when no such opportunity is offered to it, and in her suspension we see both Professor Hawkins and the theological decision makers at Wheaton carrying their crosses. As a discreet theological question, one of them has to be correct. Either Christians and Muslims worship God or they don’t. Understanding Jesus divinity correctly is either required as a precondition of God’s hearing our prayers, or it isn’t. But rather than a novel question, this is one that has plagued Christians for our entire history. Who is a Christian, who is saved? Oftentimes in history the question has revolved, as at Wheaton, around how the Godhead is defined. Wheaton and Professor Hawkins are now set to rehash the same arguments that divided Arians from Athanasians during the council of Nicaea, and which remain controverted among various Christian groups, not to mention among Muslims, Jewish, and secular groups. Perhaps the examination shared here of differing conceptions of the Trinity within Christendom can be helpful to anyone trying to understand the conflict at Wheaton, in history and as a matter of ecclesiology.

  • 1 Religion and the Courts 1790-1947 Leslie C. Griffin When the Framers
    Religion and the Courts 1790-1947 Leslie C. Griffin* When the Framers drafted the United States Constitution in 1787, the only mention of religion was the remarkable text of Article VI, which states “no Religious Test shall ever be required as a Qualification to any Office or public Trust under the United States.” That groundbreaking language marked a shift from prior practice in Europe and the states. At the time of the Constitution’s drafting, most states had religious qualifications for government officials, following the pattern in Britain, where the monarch was required to be a member of the Church of England. In Europe the guiding principle was cuius regio, eius religio: the religion of the people is determined by the religion of the ruler. Many of the Framers, especially James Madison, believed that the new Constitution protected liberty of conscience by creating a government of enumerated and separate powers that gave Congress no authority over religion. During the ratification process, however, constitutional critics demanded greater protection of individuals from the power of the government. In order to secure the Constitution’s ratification, the new Congress drafted a Bill of Rights that protected religious freedom in the following language: “Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.” Upon ratification by the states in 1791, the language about religion became the First Amendment to the United States Constitution.1 The two Religion Clauses of the First Amendment are known as the Establishment Clause and the Free Exercise Clause. Although Madison suggested that the standard protecting liberty of conscience should apply to state as well as federal governments, the language of the First Amendment—“Congress 1 shall”—applied only to the federal government.

    COMMENTS AND THEN GOD CREATED KANSAS? THE EVOLUTION/CREATIONISM DEBATE IN AMERICA'S PUBLIC SCHOOLS MARJORIE GEORGE' "For most Kansans, there really is no conflict between science and religion. Our churches have helped us search for spiritual truth, and our schools have helped us understand the natural world." -Brad Williamson, biology teacher at Olathe East High School in Olathe, Kansas.' INTRODUCTION Kansas has recently become embroiled in a fierce debate over the minds of the state's children, specifically regarding what those children will learn in their public school science classrooms. At first glance, a science curriculum does not seem like a subject of great controversy, but it continues to be one in Kansas and other communities across the country. The controversy hinges specifically on the role evolution should play in science classrooms, but also reflects the broader debate over what role schools should play in students' moral development.

  • Christian Scientists in the Courts
    Christianity Case Study – Minority in America 2018 Christian Scientists in the Courts Since independence, Christians have always been a majority of the US population, so it may seem curious to call American Christians a minority. However, some Christians have been rejected by the wider US Christian community and are thus “minoritized”—meaning they are treated as if they do not belong to the majority. Christians from such groups have often claimed they face persecution or hardships. One of these groups is the Christian Scientists.

  • July 2021 Change
    July 2021 In This Issue: President's Message Send Your Information Affiliate Activities We Remember Notable Birthdays Calendar of Events Change. After the past year and a half, most likely all of us have a new perspective on change and everything it connotes. Change can be frightening, uncomfortable and heartbreaking. It also can be rejuvenating, uplifting and necessary. One of the biggest changes NFPW found it necessary to make during the COVID-19 pandemic was to shift the 2021 conference from an in-person meeting to a virtual event. It was a tremendous leap of faith. How would members respond? How would potential speakers respond? Could we make the technology work? What resulted was rejuvenating and uplifting, due in no small measure to the efforts of the conference host affiliate—Arkansas Press Women—and their commitment to what turned out to be a two-year odyssey to get from Baton Rouge in 2019 to Little Rock in 2021. And what a conference it turned out to be! The sessions were interesting, engaging and moving. We heard from such remarkable women as Michelle Duster, the great- granddaughter of African-American journalist and activist Ida B. Wells, and Elizabeth Eckford, one of nine African-American students who integrated Little Rock’s Central High School in 1957. I hope those of you who heard them speak were as inspired as I was. We also had a chance to learn the latest about drones, podcasting, social media strategies, writing memoirs, being a food and travel writer, and misinformation on the Internet—all relevant and important topics in today’s rapidly changing media world.

  • Mary Baker Eddy Incoming Correspondence Index, Alphabetical
    Incoming Correspondence of Mary Baker Eddy (Formerly Chestnut Hill File) Collection Description Correspondence, c. 1880–1910 This collection consists mainly of letters received by Mary Baker Eddy and members of her household from c. 1880–1910. A small quantity of correspondence also predates and postdates this time span. Comments, notations, and responses by Eddy or her staff also appear on some documents. Correspondents include family, students, employees, Christian Scientists, the general public, and a few notable figures such as journalist Arthur Brisbane and suffragist Susan B. Anthony. There are approximately 6,700 correspondent files, many consisting of one letter (see finding aid for complete list). It is likely that her personal secretary, Calvin A. Frye, organized this file with assistance from other secretaries in later years. The name Chestnut Hill File derives from Mary Baker Eddy’s last home in Chestnut Hill, MA, where the file was located until it was moved to The First Church of Christ, Scientist sometime after 1915. Because of confusion about the scope and content of the file–it is not correspondence only from the time Eddy lived at Chestnut Hill, nor is it material about Chestnut Hill or the home located there–the file has been renamed to reflect what the file does contain, Eddy’s incoming correspondence. Size of collection: 38.3 linear feet Date opened: large portions on September 29, 2002 and December 23, 2002 Access: Some material is open. Remaining material will be processed upon request. See finding aid for a complete list of files and their status. 200 Massachusetts Avenue Boston, MA 02115 888-222-3711 www.marybakereddylibrary.org Provenance The Chestnut Hill File was transferred to the archives of The First Church of Christ, Scientist, sometime after the conveyance of Eddy’s personal property from the Trustees Under the Will of Mary Baker Eddy to the church.
