“Separation of Church and State” - I don’t think you know what that means. Like humanists and atheists the people of every faith actually can and will hold their elected officials accountable for their actions and lack of actions.

The Big Blasphemous Bill The GOP’s sweeping legislation would make it official: The economy is America’s god, and people will be sacrificed on its altar.

A bit on the BBB or TB as we say in Texas.

Echoing contemplative clarity and moral urgency, Doyle invites readers to develop a personal rule of life: a rhythm of prayer, rest, Sabbath, fasting, and contemplation.

—Ron Starbuck

In a world filled with push notifications and algorithmic anxieties, Doyle frames spiritual resistance not as a culture war, but as cultivation—a recovery of the ancient Christian insight that our bodies, our relationships, and our attention are sacred terrain.

A few thoughts on Church and war with Stanley Hauerwas: www.christiancentury.org/article/chur...

7/
Silence protects the system.
Truth opens the way to justice.
Let’s not deny the harm—let’s repair it.

6/
Fixing it requires:
– Admitting it happens
– Strengthening due process
– Improving oversight
– Valuing the dignity of every person, citizen or not

5/
Why does it happen?
– ICE training contradicts policy
– Data systems are flawed
– Officers aren’t always supervised
– Human error goes unchecked

4/
Case 2: A 2-year-old U.S. citizen was deported to Honduras with her mother.
A federal judge later called it unconstitutional and a violation of due process.

3/
Case 1: Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a U.S. legal resident—was deported to El Salvador.
The Supreme Court later ruled the government had to bring him back.

2/
The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that at least 70 U.S. citizens were likely deported between 2015–2020.
That’s not speculation—it’s on record.

1/
Yes, U.S. citizens have been deported—despite what some claim.
This isn’t theory. It’s happened. And it’s been acknowledged by courts and Congress.

Ordained 30 years today! Wow.

The L.A. Distortion Effect Yet again, I’m running out of ways to explain how bad this is.

A broken media ecosystem is allowing many Americans to embrace a false idea of what's happening in Los Angeles, @cwarzel.bsky.social writes.

Thoughts upon today in America.

15/ Let them hear: Christ is Lord. Let them see: the Church stands with dignity, justice, and love—for all. #ChristianWitness #FaithOverFear

14/ Our pulpits must not echo parties. Let them echo the Gospel. The people will look to you this Sunday. #ChristAloneIsLord #ChurchInThePublicSquare

13/ 5. Church, Be Courageous
The Barmen Church risked all to declare Christ alone is Lord. We must be ready to do the same. #BarmenDeclaration #ChristianCourage

12/ Using force against civilians or deporting the innocent violates the Gospel. We must not be silent. #FaithInAction #BonhoefferMoment

11/ 4. Stand With the Vulnerable
God stands with the oppressed. So must we. #StandWithTheOppressed #GospelAndJustice

10/ Our faith calls us to prophetic engagement, not apathy. In love, justice, and courage. #PropheticFaith #FaithOverFear

9/ 3. Convivial Christian Citizenship
I remind us: we are Christians before citizens. Allegiance to God first. #ChristianCitizenship #ChurchAndState

8/ Deporting citizens, silencing dissent, toppling elected leadership—this is not righteousness. It is sin. #DeportationJustice #MoralReckoning

7/ 2. Reject False Gospel of Nationalism
The Church does not serve the state. The state is accountable to God. #FaithInAction #RejectChristianNationalism

6/ When governments demand what belongs to Christ—human dignity—we must resist. #BarmenDeclaration #GospelAndJustice

5/ 1. Jesus Christ Alone Is Lord
“No party, state, or ideology may claim our ultimate allegiance. Christ alone is Lord.” #ChristianWitness #FaithOverFear

4/ We do not stand apart. We stand within this moment—anchored by faith. The Barmen Declaration speaks again. #ChristAloneIsLord #BonhoefferMoment

3/ Violence has touched our lawmakers. Armed might threatens democracy. Deportations rise. Families break. Fear parades as power. #DemocracyUnderThreat #DeportationJustice
