Last Sunday I once again dissected Rev. Tish Harrison Warren’s weekly NYT column, whose presence in the paper I still don’t understand. It conveys bromides to soothe those already marinated in fait,—is that what the New York Times intends? Regardless, she ended her column—which expressed both her joy and anguish about her kids going off … Continue reading Tish Harrison Warren: some prayers to protect schoolchildren
Tish Harrison Warren may be the lowest-hanging fruit in the New York Times op-ed section, but what I wonder is why the paper wants low-hanging fruit. At some point, a NYT executive must have thought, “Hey, we need religion to draw more readers—but not that old-timey, fundamentalist religion. We need a more Sophisticated form of … Continue reading Does Uvalde need prayers? Tish Harrison Warren says, “Definitely”
While there are those who say that trying to control guns, and thus gun violence, is a futile job in America, so wedded to our firearms are we, most of us want some controls over laws that allow assault weapons, concealed carry, open carry, no need for background checks, and so on. I’m one of … Continue reading Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren tells us how to control guns in America:
I subscribe to Tish Harrison Warren’s NYT column for the same reason I sniff the milk when I already know it’s gone bad. Masochism, I suppose. Today we have a very confused column from the Anglican priest, whose schtick seems to be to take a conventional and approved moral position, inform us how virtuous she … Continue reading Tish Harrison Warren says that Christian virtues dispel racism
I’m still not sure why Anglican Priest Tish Harrison Warren was hired to write a weekly column on religion for the New York Times.

In her latest sermon which the New York Times commissioned from Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren for our edification, she describes the travails of living with a mother who has mid-stage Alzheimer’s. I am very sad for both the Reverend and her mother: I can’t imagine watching someone you love gradually forget you, then everything … Continue reading Today’s sermon from Tish Harrison Warren: we may get dementia, but God always remembers us
Reader Kenneth said he found the latest NYT column by Anglican Priest Tish Harrison Warren “hallucinatory”. His reason, amply supported by Harrison’s words, is that she is in favor of the upcoming Supreme Court decision that overturns Roe v. Wade (and is apparently against abortion per se), but sees this as an opportunity to create … Continue reading Pastor Tish Harrison Warren sees prohibiting abortion as part of the Social Justice Movement
In today’s Easter edition of the NYT, Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren interviews the Jesus expert and Anglican bishop, N. T. Wright, introduced this way: Perhaps no one on earth has studied that event [the Resurrection] and the subsequent responses to it more than N.T. Wright. He serves as senior research fellow at Wycliffe Hall, … Continue reading Tish Harrison Warren interviews an Anglican bishop who says the Resurrection was real, and he has evidence
Well, Anglican priest Tish Harrison Warren isn’t nearly as weird as Peterson, but they’re both religious and they’ve both made lists about how to improve your life and your world. Harrison’s column (click to read) is to fixing the world as a cough drop is to a cough (cough drops don’t work). I’m starting to … Continue reading Tish Harrison Warren becomes the female Jordan Peterson. And suggest your own “rules for life”!
Yes, Tish Harrison Warren, the Anglican priest who writes a weekly column to fill up empty space in the New York Times, has once again proffered a cure for the nation’s ills. It’s trivial and far from new, but at least it doesn’t involve God. The email I got with the column (Ceiling Cat help … Continue reading More anodyne cures for the world’s ills by Reverend Tish Harrison Warren
