A long strange trip from early Christianity to the Grateful Dead's Haight-Ashbury days

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
(RNS) — The moment I saw the title of Thomas Coogan’s new book, “Deadheads and Christians: You Will Know Them by Their Love,” I knew exactly what he was up to. Maybe it’s because I spent my career covering religion for daily newspapers in San Francisco. The city had long been the mind-bending mecca for the spiritual counterculture of the baby boom generation, with rock music, particularly the Grateful Dead’s trippy, open-ended jams, furnishing t…Christianity · San FranciscoSee the Story

In temples and churches, sensory rooms remove barriers for neurodivergent worshipers

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
MAPLEWOOD, N.J. (RNS) — From organ blasts and incense to forced hugs and handshakes, for folks who struggle to process sensory input, houses of worship can quickly feel anything but holy. That was the case for Lark Losardo’s son Percy, who in 2017 began attending Catholic Mass with his family at age 7. Percy, who is autistic, was often overwhelmed by the Brooklyn church’s open space, noise and crowds. At first, when he needed to move around or s…Mulhouse · MulhouseSee the Story

NEW YORK (RNS) — Illuminated by a skylight at the center of a small factory-turned-Hindu temple in Queens sits a murti of the Divine Mother — a 1-ton, 6-foot-tall icon of the South Indian village goddess Mariamman, an incarnation of Kali, the deity of time and death. Smoke from cigarettes and incense fills the room, and bottles of rum sit next to fruit at the altar. “Our religion is very rural, very villagelike,” said Chandni Kalu, 31, a prieste…New York State · New YorkRead Article

(RNS) — A scholar of the law tried to trip up Jesus by asking him, “Teacher, what must I do to inherit eternal life?” Like any good teacher, Jesus turned the tables on him and asked, “What is written in the law? How do you read it?” The scholar gave a good answer: “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your being, with all your strength, and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” He then asked Jesus, “And …Gaza · GazaRead Article

Holding Israel accountable isn’t antisemitic — harming Jews is

100% Left coverage: 1 sources
(RNS) — As the leader of an organization of rabbis and cantors, I hear from members nearly every day about synagogues vandalized, bomb threats called in during services, visible Jews harassed on the street and hateful comments online and off.  In the last few months, we’ve witnessed several violent antisemitic incidents, some of which have turned deadly. On June 30, 82-year-old Karen Diamond died of wounds sustained in the firebombing of a June …Judaism · GazaRead Article
