Recent religion & art news
May 12th, 2009 by Menachem Wecker
BYU’s museum displays a hanger-sculpture without worrying it’s not Mormon, an associate pastor claims Kentridge for spirituality (noting, as I have, Kentridge is Jewish), and beliefnet covers Star Wars’ 10 commandments (HT: RNS).
Oprah helps bring diversity to an angel museum, Woody has to prove he commands $10m/ad (to fight an unauthorized rabbinic impersonation), and more controversy surrounds the Pope’s past run-ins with the Hitler Youth (and here), which is ironic given his recent denouncement of hijacking religion for political pretexts, amidst questions what the heck anti-Semitism is anyway.

I thought you might be aware of another tempest in a tea pot regarding Mormon. There was a recent exhibit in an art competition that provoked a discussion of similarities with occultic symbols and incorrect use of Hebrew gematria. http://www.mormonapologetics.org/index.php?showtopic=43242
