					<description><![CDATA[I’m writing an article on Mary Daly for the forthcoming Encyclopedia of Philosophy of Religion, and keep thinking of all the things I want to write about that aren’t appropriate for academic publications like that.

Yet the word regret can’t fully capture the loss I feel this year at not being able to accept my Muslim neighbor’s act of inclusion and welcome as they celebrate the blessings of Ramadan. Why?

People of faith should be leading the opposition to President Donald Trump’s Executive Order that bans refugees and effectively targets Muslims.
