Feb 10, 2014: St Josephs Vanguard: Joy and Truth: A Conversation with Elizabeth Stoker
How many devout, twenty-three-year-old Christian women do you know who write for the likes of The Atlantic, Salon.com, and Boston Review Blog?Don’t know any? Well, allow me to introduce you to one: Elizabeth Stoker. Dec 12, 2013: Rust Belt Philosophy: "Troubling" as a word meaning "inconvenient for me personally"
Wow - Elizabeth Stoker is one smarmy motherfucker. Having noticed that some of us aren't willing to get in line to kiss the new pope's feet quite yet, Stoker puts on her best frowny-face and lets us have it. Dec 3, 2013: Firedoglake: Ross Douthat’s Inaccurate And Misleading Response To Pope’s Critique Of Capitalism Whether or not Catholics should “heed the pope” I will leave to the Catholic community writ large and those with some knowledge of Catholic social teaching with a recommendation to read Elizabeth Stoker and Heather Horn’s pieces Dec 3, 2013: Williamson Country Libertarian Party: Elizabeth Stoker has called our bluff – LCC is shutting down (NOT!) Blogger Elizabeth Stoker is attempting to convince her readers that libertarianism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. From the subsequent articles it appears as though this is a new hobby horse for her, and we welcome her questions. |
Dec 6, 1990: Elizabeth Stoker is born in Arlington, Texas.
Dec 23, 2012: Elizabeth Stoker wrote in an op-ed for Salon which took offense by some comments made by Erick Erickson in defense of Phil Robertson: "If Christianity is posed as an institution on the defense, persecuted successfully by powers greater than itself, then it need not take stock of the impact of its chosen frames. The fantasy of the persecution of Christianity in America is thus mostly a technique aimed at protecting a particular approach to framing issues in the cruelest, least considerate method possible. Erickson may wish to sneak the disparagement of gay people in under the cover of Christianity, but better exemplars of the religion demonstrate the fallacy in his narrative. It’s right that Robertson should be reprimanded for the things he’s said: Christianity is an extremely powerful cultural force, and when one’s microphone is that loud, every word choice matters."
May 12, 2021: it was announced that she would depart The New York Times for The Atlantic at the end of the month. |
Nov 1, 2013: Libertarian Christians: Elizabeth Stoker has called our bluff – LCC is shutting down (NOT!) -
Blogger Elizabeth Stoker is attempting to convince her readers that libertarianism and Christianity are fundamentally incompatible. From the subsequent articles it appears as though this is a new hobby horse for her, and we welcome her questions. Libertarianism is often misunderstood by the Left and Right alike, and adding “Christian” as a familiar bedfellow throws a curve ball into the mix (though why a left-liberal like Stoker is complaining about who we’re in bed with is beyond me).
