A Texas megachurch pastor offers advice on “how to move from whining about the economy to whoopee!” Gretel Kovach for The New York Times reports. It’s a decent little story, and that’s its weakness. This sex story is too wholesome, a perfect example of the “innocuous spirituality” / “dangerous fanaticism” divide that marks so much religion reporting. Most American religion contains elements of both. At a time when gay marriage is the main battlefront of a culture war that’s heating up just when it’s supposed to be cooling down, couldn’t the liberal NYT have spared a paragraph for this megachurch’s views on the issue? It’s “seven days of sex” program, we suspect, comes with some serious preconditions.
