Tara BulgerHOST
So I guess, I don't know if this is the only thing I could think of.
Tara BulgerHOST
I don't know if this is a contest, but the Christian Century magazine has a contest for people to write stories for their Frederick Buechner writing series.
Tara BulgerHOST
And I guess I won.
Tara BulgerHOST
I got something published.
Mark TooleyGUEST
He had no room for a Christian justification for war.
Mark TooleyGUEST
But shifted dramatically, as I mentioned, in the 1930s and was a regular columnist for Christian Century magazine, which was the foremost journal for progressive Protestantism in those days, but began vigorously to dissent from Christian Century's pacifism and its opposition to U.S. involvement in World War II, which led him, as again mentioned, to found Christianity in crisis.
Mark TooleyGUEST
For those like himself who felt that justice and righteousness mandated that the United States support the allies to the maximum with every effort short of war until Pearl Harbor, which of course meant every effort including war.
Paul MillerHOST
And Niebuhr's journey reflects the journey of the American kind of elite as a whole.
Albert MohlerHOST
Okay, that would be interesting if it's true in the culture.
Albert MohlerHOST
The reason we're talking about it today is because of a major article that has appeared in the Christian Century in the October 2026 issue, an article by David Congdon, who is a modern ethicist in terms of liberal Christianity.
Albert MohlerHOST
And that's what the Christian Century represents.
Albert MohlerHOST
The Christian Century is the flagship magazine historically of Protestant liberalism.
Albert MohlerHOST
And back in the day when the Protestant liberals were the mainstream, they were called mainline Protestants, the Christian Century was one of the most influential religious magazines in the United States.
Albert MohlerHOST
But it, in its October 2026 issue, has run an article entitled Understanding Polyamory, Alternatives to Monogamous Marriage are Going Mainstream.
Albert MohlerHOST
How Will Christians Respond? Okay, I also want to suggest to you that it's a very interesting worldview indication when people openly ask a question.
Albert MohlerHOST
Because it's a different thing to ask a question than to answer it.
Debony MorganHOST
She's also the co-author with Patrick Shen of Notes on Silence, the companion book to In Pursuit of Silence.
Debony MorganHOST
Her essays have been published in The Christian Century, Convivium Journal, The Thomas Merton Seasonal, The Thomas Merton Annual, and has been featured on The Huffington Post, Patheos, and the National Catholic Reporter.
Debony MorganHOST
So Cassidy, welcome very much to Radical Mystics.
Debony MorganHOST
We're so excited to talk to you today.
Eleanor JohnsonGUEST
Um, and I think those are both intrinsically very, very good things.
Eleanor JohnsonGUEST
I will also say that one of my great joys in so far the reception of this book is that it got a very glowing review from a magazine called The Christian Century, and one of my great hopes in writing this book was that some women and some constituencies who might not normally immediately gravitate toward labeling themselves as feminist would read this book and think, like, "My God, I have been trained to be afraid of myself." Every mother, every grandmother going back thousands of years was trained to be afraid of herself.
Eleanor JohnsonGUEST
And if you really think about what that means, it means we're, like, missing an opportunity to have allegiance and alliance with other women, right? That doesn't want to erase the importance of voice, sex, and reproduction as indicia of power, but actually wants to make space for them, right? And I think that if, if women across the proverbial aisle in the US and elsewhere could understand that the whole monstrous bitch trope is like a hustle, it's, it's a, it's a, it's a fiction that patriarchy has sold women, all women, to keep women afraid, we would have a much, much better chance of telling ourself new stories.
Eleanor JohnsonGUEST
And I think we do need some new stories, and I ended the book on this, as you alluded to, but one of the stories I'd like us to use, one new story, is actually a very, very old story, which is the story of the goddess Inanna, uh, which is recorded by this wonderful female poet from Mesopotamia called Enheduanna.

DJ PetrovskiHOST
This immediately made all their research anathema condemned and disliked by the most of Christendom.
DJ PetrovskiHOST
I watched to see if Christians would refute the unbiblical parts of their research, but besides a couple of short articles, Christian Century 91882, Raiders of the Lost Grail in Christianity Today, 93082-2E Blood, Holy Blood, Holy Grail, Holy Mackerel.
DJ PetrovskiHOST
In Christian periodicals, in addition to this, was a small book in England.
DJ PetrovskiHOST
the Holy Grail revealed, which simplistically claimed that the book was of no value because obviously it was erroneous.
James BoiceHOST
It was the issue on hypertension, which I certainly should have been reading in the interim.
James BoiceHOST
The letters column contained two letters, one by Harvey Cox of the Harvard Divinity School and the other by Martin Marty of the Chicago Divinity School, a writer for the Christian Century.
James BoiceHOST
And one of them, I forget which one, began his letter by saying, the faith of your Bible believers is the opposite of biblical faith.
James BoiceHOST
I got angry at that.
