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

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

So grateful for Bishop Sally French, the Episcopal Diocese of New Jersey, and Christ Episcopal Church in Toms River, NJ, for their efforts to try to offer compassion and care in their community. I’m praying they are able to offer this shelter for our neighbors. ⚓️

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, ...

OpenAI's Studio Ghibli meme factory is an insult to art itself Sam Altman is promoting his new image generator by appropriating the work of one of the greatest living animators—who is "disgusted" by AI.
