  • Mormonism Is a Part of the Christian Faith and Culture It Is Not a Cult; It Is the Church of Latter Day Saints
    National Black Church Initiative P.O. Box 65177 Washington DC 20035 202-744-0184 [email protected] www.naltblackchurch.com Contact: Rev. Anthony Evans October 24, 2011 202-744-0184 For Immediate Release National Black Church Initiative Declares Mormonism is a Part of the Christian Faith and Culture It is not a Cult; it is the Church of Latter Day Saints Washington DC – The National Black Church Initiative (NBCI), a faith-based coalition of 34,000 churches comprised of 15 denominations and 15.7 million African Americans dedicated to the eradication of racial disparities around the world is urging all religious communities to join together in the promotion of peace. We called upon our Black religious leadership to use the full force of our combined churches to draw attention to the imperative of religious tolerance. The United States is a nation that was founded on religious tolerance and the separation of church and state is a critical pillar of our political culture. As Thomas Jefferson, the principle author of the Declaration of Independence, has noted: “Proscribing any citizen as unworthy the public confidence by laying upon him an incapacity of being called to offices of trust and emolument, unless he profess or renounce this or that religious opinion, is depriving him injuriously of those privileges and advantages to which, in common with his fellow citizens, he has a natural right….Among the most inestimable of our blessings is that...of liberty to worship our Creator in the way we think most agreeable to His will; a liberty deemed in other countries incompatible with good government and yet proved by our experience to be its best support.” In the United States, we respect the right of our politicians to their personal religious beliefs and we work assiduously to maintain a strict separation of church and state.

  • La Fuerza De La Biblia En El Cine
    LA FUERZA DE LA BIBLIA EN EL CINE JUAN ORELLANA La Biblia es el mejor guión de la historia. Guión de guiones, hay en ella drama, tragedia, romance, guerras, gestas heróicas, e incluso thrillers, venganzas, adulterios, pasiones... La presencia de Dios en medio de los hombres nunca ha prescindido del abanico de posibili- dades que brinda la libertad humana. No es casual que al primer tra- tamiento guionizado de una serie televisiva larga se le llama en el ar- got «la biblia» de esa serie. Muchos cineastas se han acercado a las Escrituras buscando su esqueleto religioso, otros lo han hecho como quien se acerca a una gran historia épica, y por fin hay quienes han visto en ella un mito, al estilo de las grandes cosmogonías griegas u orientales. En realidad, desde un punto de vista dramático o dramatúrgico, no hay nada comparable a la historia de la relación entre Dios y el hombre. La libertad de la creación cara a cara con la libertad del Crea- dor. Hermoso testimonio de este dramático encuentro de libertades es Fuera del mundo (Fuori dal mondo), de Giuseppe Piccioni (2002). Los innumerables factores humanos despliegan toda su potencialidad y todas las contradicciones que se derivan del pecado original. No hay deseo, pasión, nobleza, entrega, alegría, sacrificio... que no tenga su magnífica ilustración en las Sagradas Escrituras. Por ello se podría decir, en cierta forma, que cualquier argumento cinematográfico, bien sea de héroes o de villanos, narra algo que ya narró la Biblia, al menos en su esencialidad. Después de más de cien años de cine, las Escrituras siguen pro- yectando su sombra sobre el séptimo arte de formas muy diversas, e incluso opuestas.

  • Antichrist As (Anti)Charisma: Reflections on Weber and the ‘Son of Perdition’
    Religions 2013, 4, 77–95; doi:10.3390/rel4010077 OPEN ACCESS religions ISSN 2077-1444 www.mdpi.com/journal/religions Article Antichrist as (Anti)Charisma: Reflections on Weber and the ‘Son of Perdition’ Brett Edward Whalen Department of History, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, CB# 3193, Chapel Hill, NC, 27707, USA; E-Mail: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-919-962-2383 Received: 20 December 2012; in revised form: 25 January 2013 / Accepted: 29 January 2013 / Published: 4 February 2013 Abstract: The figure of Antichrist, linked in recent US apocalyptic thought to President Barack Obama, forms a central component of Christian end-times scenarios, both medieval and modern. Envisioned as a false-messiah, deceptive miracle-worker, and prophet of evil, Antichrist inversely embodies many of the qualities and characteristics associated with Max Weber’s concept of charisma. This essay explores early Christian, medieval, and contemporary depictions of Antichrist and the imagined political circumstances of his reign as manifesting the notion of (anti)charisma, compelling but misleading charismatic political and religious leadership oriented toward damnation rather than redemption. Keywords: apocalypticism; charisma; Weber; antichrist; Bible; US presidency 1. Introduction: Obama, Antichrist, and Weber On 4 November 2012, just two days before the most recent US presidential election, Texas “Megachurch” pastor Robert Jeffress (1956– ) proclaimed that a vote for the incumbent candidate Barack Obama (1961– ) represented a vote for the coming of Antichrist. “President Obama is not the Antichrist,” Jeffress qualified to his listeners, “But what I am saying is this: the course he is choosing to lead our nation is paving the way for the future reign of Antichrist” [1].

Los otros y noso- tros en las pantallas son reflejo, o más bien espejos, más o menos distorsionados, de una realidad compleja, conformadora de pautas y modelos de vida. En este trabajo se presenta una aproximación al mundo del otro frente al nosotros, a partir de miradas ya canónicas ya disidentes del lenguaje fílmico. La imagen del otro en el cine se refleja en un amplio conjunto de estereotipos de lo diferente: identidades proyectadas, enemigos imaginarios, psicópatas y asesinos, cuerpos y mentes fuera de la norma, sexualidad y género marginales, criaturas del más allá, la teogonía de los superhéroes… esto es, un sin fin de imágenes no agota- das para utilizar el cine como excusa para sumergirse en una sociedad llena de múltiples tapices y colores de identidades.

This was particularly perplexing to many outside (and within) evangelical circles, because as leaders of America’s “Moral Majority” for almost four decades, prior to Trump’s campaign, evangelicals had insisted that only candidates who set a high standard for personal integrity and civic decency, were qualified to serve as president.
