I invite you to check out my latest article for some examples of how this semiquincentennial year can reinforce our commitment to living out Micah 6:8 and, in the process, help us make our nation’s ideals of liberty and justice for all more real for-truly-all.

On America's 250th, we're gathering in D.C. to honor the grief, courage, and contributions of immigrant communities. The Latino immigrant church has never been a bystander; it's been a builder, a servant, a bearer of this nation's soul. 🕊️ 📍 Washington, D.C. | June 28 🔗 buff.ly/VLzkUUh

Wrote about the latest chapter in the American Century of Humilitation, one which could have been avoided by a simple reading of the Book of Proverbs.

“There is no gender with spirit,” said Pastor Que J. Thomas, “Those who worship God must worship him in spirit and in truth and our truth is that we’re queer, Black, brown, white, LGBTQIA … That is the truth.” sojo.net/articles/new...

Honored to attend the release of @americanprogress.bsky.social @interfaithalliance.org @americansunited.bsky.social @americanhumanist.bsky.social on Religious Liberty for All, to which I was proud to contribute some of my thoughts, both in the report and via a panel discussion today.

"Biblical Moses sought to prevent revelry (Exodus 32:18-19); Soccer Moses lives to promote it." sojo.net/magazine/aug...

Everyone should take a look at this documentary about sanctuary by Theo Rigby. It's really good, and I was so happy to be asked to write a review of it for @sojo.net 👇👇👇👇

Our Chief Program and Impact Officer, Bryan, recently joined On the Frontlines: A Leaders Exchange in Brazil, alongside advocates, organizers, and movement leaders working to strengthen democracy and advance justice.

ICYMI: I strongly recommend reading Josiah's article. It's deeply compelling, heartfelt, and thought-provoking.

I invite you to read my latest column for @sojo.net magazine, on how we can best commemorate the 250th anniversary of the country's founding.

Congregational life seems to be on a modest upswing, but that does not erase decades of decline. Here are four takeaways from the report that we think you ought to know: sojo.net/articles/opi...

"Queer folk and the theology that arises from their experience teach me that questions are often God’s path into the hearts of the lost and found." sojo.net/articles/opi...

"I’ve recorded over 100 interviews with LGBTQ+ clergy and lay people who are proud to let the Catholic Church know that they exist, even if the church continues to bar them from being full members of the faith," writes Emma Cieslik. sojo.net/articles/opi...

“I hate, I despise your festivals, and I take no delight in your solemn assemblies” (Amos 5:21). sojo.net/magazine/jun...

I'm so proud of the entire @sojo.net magazine team that put this special issue together. I hope you'll give it a read.

A nation’s story is shaped by the people who help build it. As the United States marks 250 years, our partners at the Latino Christian National Network are hosting a Worship Service of Lament and Hope on June 28th at 5PM ET. 📍 National City Christian Church, Washington, D.C.

"In terms of scale, it may well be the most corrupt act in U.S. political history," writes Rev. Adam Russell Taylor. "In the face of this, I am reminded of Micah’s prophetic condemnation." sojo.net/articles/opi...

"Choir is a school of cooperation. You have to work together to make good music—it’s not a series of solos side by side, but a gaggle of individual voices corralled to make something richer." sojo.net/articles/opi...

“Its rulers give judgment for a bribe; its priests teach for a price; its prophets give oracles for money; yet they lean upon the Lord and say, ‘Surely the Lord is with us! No harm shall come upon us.’” --Micah 3:11. My latest for @sojo.net: sojo.net/articles/opi...

"My life depends on you, as Christians, being willing to be uncomfortable in your own spaces and not being silent when someone says something Islamophobic." sojo.net/articles/opi...

My heart breaks and prayers are lifted for the victims and their families of the heinous attack on the Islamic Center of San Diego. There must be absolutely no place for Islamophobia or religious hatred or violence in our nation. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/19/u...

The Trump administration’s corruption and graft has reached a new height with the announcement of a $1.8 billion slush fund to “compensate victims of lawfare”. When does abuse of the Justice Department and corruption to reward his allies become a bridge too far? www.nytimes.com/live/2026/05...

Thanks so much to @tiffanystanley.bsky.social for covering the pushback to the Rededicate 250 Christian nationalist prayer rally on the National Mall this weekend and giving me a chance to share why the event was so deeply concerning. apnews.com/article/trum...

I hope you can join us tomorrow night!

“Christian nationalism reveals itself to be sinful because of its idolatrous fruits—specifically, how the nation-state takes the place of God, and encourages people to embrace arrogance, pride, and an end-justifies-the-means way of thinking.” sojo.net/articles/opi...

"Not my kids, not my responsibility, right? But that is woefully shortsighted. A society and government that is stingy in its support of its youngest members is not good for anyone." sojo.net/magazine/may...

I hope you can join us tomorrow for a powerful conversation with @mariajstephan.bsky.social, on how faith communities can help safeguard democratic values, bridge divides, and counter authoritarian trends. More info and free registration here: sojo.net/join/events/...

I'm really looking forward to this conversation this week. I hope you'll be able to join us!

Today I joined Moral Mondays at the White House and spoke about how denying voting rights is a form of violence. Since the Supreme Court effectively gutted the Voting Rights Act week, resisting redistricting efforts and voter/election protection have become a moral imperative and test of faith.

Hope folks will join me in supporting and showing out for today’s Moral Monday actions in DC and across the country! Love forward together.

Sharing this timely and compelling article form my friend and board member Nicole Bergeron on how to measure and reduce the drag from philanthropy on the vital work of nonprofits. I hope this article stimulates much discussion, discernment, and change. nonprofitquarterly.org/philanthropy...

"For me and others in the Black church, the court’s decision is an affront to our forebears and to the core values of our faith, including the belief in the inherent dignity of every person," writes @revadamtaylor.bsky.social. sojo.net/articles/opi...

and again, all of this is happening in the name of “equal protection”

This was widely predicted by experts in the field. Policymakers were warned that this would be the effect of OBBBA. GOP lawmakers denied or dissembled and passed the bill anyway.

Every major medical study has determined that conversion therapy does not work. Timothy Schraeder Rodriguez knows that from personal experience. sojo.net/articles/int...

My thoughts on the egregiously wrong Louisiana v. Callais decision which further guts the Voting Rights Act.

The Callais Supreme Court decision represents a miscarriage of justice that will render the Voting Rights Act largely toothless and supercharge a racialized gerrymandering arms race that will weaken representation of minority communities and undermine our democracy! www.nytimes.com/2026/04/30/u...

Tomorrow the President’s 60-day window to engage in military action in Iran in response to an imminent national security threat without Congressional authorization expires. The (false, in my view) rationale that Iran posed an imminent threat will no longer be valid. (1/8)
