☆ Opinion | My Hope for American Discourse
  + stars: | 2023-08-06 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
Dealing with them is a privilege and a joy, but habitually dealing with the outside of them is inherently dangerous. The “outsides” of holy things, to me, describes the difference between speaking about divine or sacred things and encountering the divine or the sacred directly. To be sure, we need more and better religious discourse in America. In my very first newsletter for The Times, I wrote that “we need to start talking about God,” and I still believe that. Constant connectivity empties us out, as individuals and as a society, making us shallower thinkers and more impatient with others.

☆ Opinion | The State of Evangelical America
  + stars: | 2023-07-30 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
And you often say that people don’t always leave the church because of what Christians believe, but instead because they don’t think Christians actually believe what they claim to believe. And in many cases they’re starting to question not whether the church is too strict, but whether the church actually holds to a morality at all. I think the fragmentation that’s happening to the evangelical movement right now is actually a necessary precondition for renewal. I won’t give up on the word “evangelical.” There was a time when I did. I wrote an op-ed in 2016 in The Washington Post called “Why This Election Makes Me Hate the Word ‘Evangelical’” — but I’ve come around.

☆ Opinion | Rising Heat Deaths Are Not Just About the Temperature
  + stars: | 2023-07-23 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Much like Covid-19 endangers and affects everyone, but has disproportionally affected historically disadvantaged communities, heat deaths expose deep societal inequality. Soaring heat deaths represent a societal failure. Then there are times when these deaths are caused by a sin of commission — an intentional act of greed and callousness. They drive home on roads made by the workers whose lives they are endangering. They pull inside their garages, close the door to the blistering heat and enter their comfortable homes, where their family members do not have to worry about dying of heat.

☆ Where Poetry and Faith Meet - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-07-16 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
One reason I think we keep making poetry is because we are ourselves poems. So we keep making poetry because we are ourselves poems. Another way to think about it is that we keep making poetry because it’s part of natural curiosity, exploration and discovery. So I also think of poetry as the art of attention. That a peach is a peach and can be so amazing on a hot summer day is, to him, astounding.

☆ Opinion | The ‘Ethic of Life’ in the Political Arena
  + stars: | 2023-07-10 | by ( ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
To the Editor:Re “‘You Can’t Protect Some Life and Not Others,’” by Tish Harrison Warren (Opinion, June 28):Ms. Warren calls for a “consistent ethic of life” and complains: “I already know that I won’t feel represented by the platforms of either party. I know I’ll feel politically estranged and frustrated.”It would be nice if each of us could find a political party whose platform represents our views 100 percent. That would require dozens or more political parties. Absent reforms such as ranked choice voting, which would allow voters to express their preference among multiple candidates, the two-party system inevitably leaves virtually everyone frustrated that neither major party represents their views fully. You vote for the party that best represents your values, even if you disagree on some things.

☆ Opinion | Why We Shouldn’t Lose Faith in Organized Religion
  + stars: | 2023-07-09 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +4 min
Stephen Prothero wrote the book “Religious Literacy,” about the absence of religious literacy in American civic life. I wonder how many people who are reading that have alarm bells going off about the state of American civil society. American religion has long been entrepreneurial, and American religion will likely adapt in ways that increase religious participation in the medium to long run. But I fear that American society and social services will suffer in the short run. This is my understanding of religion, of pluralism, of social change: If you tell an inspiring story, people will want to move in that direction.

☆ Opinion | Can Everyone Take a Sabbatical?
  + stars: | 2023-06-25 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
I spoke with a group of business people and other leaders of faith who have come to see sabbaticals as a crucial spiritual practice. It’s important to clarify what a sabbatical actually is. What a sabbatical looks like depends on the field. For clergy, sabbaticals provide a break from the intense relational and spiritual pressure of running a church or a nonprofit. For most people in academic fields, a sabbatical offers an opportunity to take a break from teaching in order to focus on research and other projects.

☆ Opinion | ‘You Can’t Protect Some Life and Not Others’
  + stars: | 2023-06-18 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Similar views have also been championed by many progressive evangelicals, mainline Protestants and leaders in the Black church. Yet no major political party embodies this consistent ethic of life. To embrace and articulate a consistent ethic of life, even while inhabiting the existing political parties, helps create the space necessary to expand the moral imagination of both parties. There’s nothing set in stone about how we divvy up and sort political issues and alliances. They derive not from different ideas about the size of government or wonkish policy debates but are rooted in incommensurable moral arguments.

☆ How to Nurture Our Relationships in a Digital World - The New York Times
  + stars: | 2023-06-04 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +3 min
There’s something real about mediated relationships. But I think that all mediated relationships generate a hunger for full presence. And to the extent that relationships start online, they generate a hunger to be present in person, as they should. When people think of magic, they often think of fantasy or perhaps archaic beliefs. What if I could have an effect in the world by waving a wand, putting on the sorcerer’s hat or learning a spell?

☆ Opinion | We Should Be More ‘Amish’ About Technology
  + stars: | 2023-05-21 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
The first time I truly admitted that something was awry with my use of social media was the day of my daughter’s first-grade Christmas performance in 2019. I’d rearranged my work schedule to be there and was running a little late but could make it in time if I hurried. So before I started the car I hurriedly pulled Twitter up on my phone, checked my mentions and replied. What I wasn’t facing was how much of a habit, even an addiction, online social interaction had become for me. I clearly couldn’t avoid social media by willpower alone, so in 2021, friends encouraged me to take more extreme steps.
☆ Opinion | Managing Screen Time Is a Family Matter
  + stars: | 2023-05-14 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
But the pandemic really helped clarify which types of things were healthy and which were harmful. We talk with families about the idea that not all screen time is created equal. My growing concern is that even the best types of screen use displace the actual material world around us. I’ve heard Jonathan Haidt call screens “experience blockers” — putting a screen in your kid’s hand prohibits them from experiencing the world, whether it’s relationships or enjoying creation or whatever. Every time you push your toddler through Target and they start having a tantrum, it’s so tempting to want to hand them a screen.
☆ Opinion | An Apology for Saying ‘Sorry’
  + stars: | 2023-05-07 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
I wonder which comes first: the empathy or the habit of apology? My husband and I have taught our children — two daughters and one son — to say “I’m sorry” frequently. “Sorry” was among my son’s first words. If we don’t practice regarding others in small, daily ways, we will be less likely to do so in larger, more significant ways as well. This affects how we come to the practice of confession and repentance in the first place.
☆ Opinion | Ted Lasso, Holy Fool
  + stars: | 2023-04-30 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
Each Wednesday night my husband and I tune in to watch “Ted Lasso,” the Emmy award-winning Apple TV+ comedy series. They climb into an impossibly small car, and Ted calls out to Rebecca, his serious, conniving new boss, “Look! Holy fools dwell in ordinary, secular life, but they approach it with completely different values. Rejecting respectability and embracing humility and love, holy fools are so profoundly out of step with the broader world that they appear to be ridiculous or even insane and often invite ridicule. Early in the series, Ted tells a reporter named Trent Crimm: “For me, success is not about the wins and losses.
☆ Opinion | What Should Christians Do About Guns?
  + stars: | 2023-04-23 | by ( Tish Harrison Warren | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +2 min
More broadly, gun-related tragedies happen every day across America, including the shooting of an unarmed African American teenager last week in Kansas City, Mo. The problem of guns in America is vast and complex. In a chilling 2022 piece, The Times named our age the “era of the gun,” with gun violence as the leading cause of death among children in the United States. Studies have shown comprehensively that more guns and easier access to guns leads, inevitably, to more gun deaths, which is why America is a global outlier when it comes to rates of gun violence. To reduce gun violence in the United States, we need legal change and we need social change.
