Theological and Faith Perspectives on the Protests in Wisconsin

I’m trying to collect links to blogs and other sites from outside Wisconsin that reflect theologically or religiously on the protests in Madison (and that don’t link back to me). So far, I’ve come up with these:

Here’s the Religion News Service report on the press event yesterday.

A blog post from Stephen Thorngate, former Wisconsin resident and currently Assistant Editor at The Christian Century.

Religion Dispatches has been following developments. Here’s commentary from Gary Laderman, Chair of the Religious Studies Department at Emory. Here’s Julie Ingersoll’s take(Hint: If I have time I will post my reflections on this essay and on the Ingersoll piece; I think they are both deeply flawed).

I want to meet Dan Schultz. He writes for Religion Dispatches, too. At least he’s in Wisconsin. He’s written a couple of things. One points out the relatively slow response by faith communities. He updates that post a couple of days later with info about those who have spoken out.

If you’ve got more, let me know. Yes, I will post thoughtful perspectives that challenge the progressive view.
