Hey so deporting citizens is already illegal and making this our bargaining chip is both bottomlessly amoral and strategically insane. Hope that helps.

the son of God/ was glorified? (although I do enjoy the original)

I think a lot of us get hope wrong. Hope, I do not believe, is an emotion. In fact, hope makes space for lots of emotions to exist alongside it. You can DO hope scared, angry, sad etc...

Hope doesn't find us. We make hope through action and struggle. It's a practice of living and is re-made daily.

The casualties already coming in. Grandmothers in their apartments….

general life update: as of Saturday (and forever more) I’m a deacon :)

we read this in class last year, and I absolutely loved it and need to revisit to chew through it more

Remember, Mr. Rogers' original comment was intended for CHILDREN. Children need comfort, and their power is obviously very limited.

We're adults. We do need comfort, but we also need to take action. And what you'll find is the more you do, the better you'll feel. Look for the helpers and join them.

THE PEOPLE TRUE TO LIBERTY.
NEW YORK REDEEMED!
SHE REPUDIATES CUOMO.
AN AVALANCHE OF FREEMEN.
SHOUT BOYS SHOUT, VICTORY IS OURS, FREEDOM IS TRIUMPHANT.

I’m curious what this looks like — does this mean it will be up for vote again next convention? I‘m grateful for the resolution being brought forward and would love to see it enacted

very very good

The priesthood of all chatbots? I’m sure there are good uses for AI in our churches. Prayer and preaching aren’t among...

“Sermons ought to be like love letters: It’s more important that they’re yours than that they’re good.”

AMATEUR HOUR: ON CHURCH FOR THE LOVE OF GOD — Earth and Altar Amateur Hour: On church for the love of God I recently watched Carson Lund’s 2025 film Eephus . (1) It’s a beautiful and sad movie. Its beauty comes from its deep love for baseball. In its slow pac...

This article by Liam Neeman was an amazing read this morning. So good. It felt like resistance and rest. (If you know he’s on here, tag him?). ⚓️

“They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’"

The only thing I know to say right now is that what we are witnessing is literally evil, like these are the types of horrors the Bible is talking about when it talks about evil

Hey Chuck, this decision rips health care away from Americans

the seventh seal: the musical

A Church Wants a Homeless Shelter. The Mayor Wants Space for Pickleball.

Miss Rachel is telling people it shouldn’t be controversial to want to stop the murder of tens of thousands of children

If only you could feel shame

Gaza’s Christians ‘Heartbroken’ for Pope Who Phoned Them Nightly “We lost a saint who taught us every day how to be brave, how to keep patient and stay strong. We lost a man who fought every day in every direction to protect this small herd of his,” George Antone, ...

“He used to tell each one: I am with you, don’t be afraid.”

We can get him back. We can get them all back. We need to demand that everyone who was shipped to that nightmarish place be brought back alive.

Speaking now from El Salvador, Sen. Chris Van Hollen (D-MD) says he was denied access to Kilmar Abrego Garcia by El Salvador leaders. And was denied a phone call to him

Van Hollen: "The Trump Administration is lying about Abrego Garcia"

And this is the judgment, that the light has come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil
