#JesseJackson legacy goes beyond the Black community and beyond the Church. He fought for women, LGBTQ, Latino and Asian Americans, veterans, disabled and ill people, for people who had different politics and views

Getting up when the world feels heavy — Edgewater Presbyterian Church Thoughts on Transfiguration Sunday.

Anxiety stuff. #Transfiguration stuff

Today is #FrederickDouglass Day.

"I prayed with my legs” captures the core of the Frederick Douglass legacy. It reminds us that while Douglass was a man of profound faith, he understood that prayer without action remains incomplete

“You can’t post that. It’s political”

They’re colonizing the Truth MAGA leaders have rewritten history. It’s up to us to keep the Truth alive.

Don’t let them gaslight the American people into cementing this idea that the good people are bad. It’s what #LostCause Southerners did to #PresidentGrant and Evangelicals did when they took down the Pride flag at #Stonewall this week

When the U.S. installed a Confederate officer in charge of its new Philippine territory On Feb. 1, 1904, America changed its tone on its new oriental territory. To hell with democratization. The new policy: tax and subjugate Filipinos to benefit the U.S. and its military.

History repeats itself. New characters, locales; same racism, oppression.

We had the honor of having the 57th @mayorofchicago.bsky.social and 48th ward Ald. @leniann.bsky.social at worship. We were thinking of a late friend of the congregation, the 51st Mayor of Chicago #HaroldWashington during this visit

What is ‘American exceptionalism’ and why it’s more dangerous than ever It creates a belief that the United States is immune to international law, global treaties, and even the basic lessons of history that apply to every other civilization.

#MisterRogers said, “Love isn’t a state of perfect caring. It is an active noun like struggle.” #FredRogers, an ordained #PCUSA minister, still speaks to us in a moment when our institutions are walking away from empathy and compassion

Speaker Johnson isn’t just schooling Leo; he believes he’s superior to the Pope I’m not surprised Mike Johnson would try to “educate” the U.S.-born Pope because his Christian denomination has always been historically anti-Catholic, anti-papist.

Mike Johnson’s denomination believes the Pope is a sinful invention—therefore it’s not surprising he feels comfortable lecturing Leo using the Bible when the Pope came out forcefully against the ICE and CBP raids, deaths, policy

The crisis of LGBTQ youth homelessness They account for roughly 40% of all youth experiencing homelessness.

Religion really does ruin lives. Don’t forget in all the tumult if the nation, we still have a bad #unhoused #LGBTQyouth population on the streets or couch surfing because they were kicked out of their homes

Feb. 1 in U.S. imperial history. Congress said, “Those Confederates lost the Civil War but we could use that kind of institutional racism somewhere else.” Unfortunately, Presbyterians were complicit
