Above Rubies Magazine

By Vyckie Garrison My bulk subscription to Above Rubies recently arrived in the mail. Even though I left my Quiverfull beliefs and lifestyle over five years ago, I never bothered to remove myself from Nancy Campbell’s mailing list – so periodically, I still receive five copies of the magazine which claims to be “Strengthening Families Across [...]

Why I Find Perverse Pleasure in the Sexual Peccadilloes of Evangelical Leaders

October 20, 2012 By 10 Comments

by Bruce Gerencser I am quite indifferent to the sexual peccadillos of others. What consenting adults do sexually is none of my business. I think so-called sexual “sins” like adultery and fornication find their foundation in the Bible and I reject the Bible as a moral or ethical standard. We are sexual creatures. Desiring to [...]

by Millipede How Did I get here? In the Talking Heads song “Once in a lifetime”, lead singer David Byrne echoes this very line. This lyric came to me many a time as I withdrew from Patriarchal fundamentalism. Like a Nautilus Shell rising to the ocean surface, my ascent was marked with the emptying of [...]
