Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the dignity of every human being?

That it may please thee to bring into the way of truth all such as have erred, and are deceived,

Today is the feast of Frederick Douglass. His words still ring true and call us to a better Christianity. ⚓

“But woe to you who are rich,for you have received your consolation.” -Jesus

Neither the Gospels nor liberation theology are rightly understood if they are understood to eternalize and endorse poverty rather than proclaiming the dignity of *the poor* and God's will that their material needs should *be met*

The good news Jesus proclaims to the hungry isn't that God likes it when people are hungry and they should be hungry because hunger is blessed - the hungry are blessed *in the promise of eating and being filled*

And, while we’re on the topic, I’ll get on another old soapbox of mine: if your congregation has an AED, I strongly encourage you to consider adding two EpiPens and a stop the bleed kit to it, or getting a stand alone bleeding control station for wall mount.

And then he said, "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep."

Then Jesus looked up at his disciples and said: “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God."

Go yell at TEC about how bad AI is and how it should definitely NOT be used for pastoral care, confession and sermon writing ⚓️

How providential Absolom Jones’ feast day falls during Epiphany 5

"In the name of God, what are you doing? Do you neither fear God, nor regard man?" In 1789 John Wesley directed these words at those who failed to help the poor. A lot of people are answering these questions today and it doesn't look great...

One awesome united front against Fascism

JD Vance: Just google 'ordo amoris.' Pope Francis: Forget Google, let me explain it: www.ncronline.org/vatican/vati... 🫳 🎤 Imagine being a fairly recent convert to a faith & then having the leader publicly call you out for pushing bad theology. Ouch.

We have moved so far into the world of moral relativity that the mere fact some number of folks believes something makes it worthy of engagement. And I just think that's wrong. Some things are just right out. And we need to tell the folks we're in relationship so.

"As Trump's tyrannical power grabs spark outrage, there's hope. Traveling the country as co-chair of [DSA], I hear a common trend in every conversation. What people want are fighters. People who will fight for them, their families, their co-workers, and their communities."

Don't let the haters and losers get in your head... The "Resistance" didn't go too far. It didn't go far enough. The only way to win is to fight for our rights as hard as we can, for as many and as much as we can. We know it works! And so do they. Join DSA! 🌹👉🏾http://dsausa.org/join

NEW: Three faith groups that work w/the govt to resettle refugees — Church World Service, HIAS, and Lutheran Community Services Northwest — are part of a lawsuit challenging Trump's EO suspending the U.S. refugee program and withholding funding for the groups. refugeerights.org/news-resourc...

Our comrade made the news to talk about something very important

“In God’s kingdom, immigrants and refugees, transgender people, the poor and the marginalized are not at the edges fearful and alone. They are at the center of the Gospel story.” - Episcopal Presiding Bishop Sean Rowe. ⚓️ #episcopalchurch #jesus #christianity #lgbt

I'd like to see more writing on how the Musk/Trump junta feels like a frontal attack on the entire concept of virtue, in even the most traditional senses. They are actively demonizing and punishing everyone who doesn't worship Mammon.

Note to President Musk: Woe to you who call evil good and good evil, who put darkness for light and light for darkness, who put bitter for sweet and sweet for bitter! Woe to you who are wise in your own eyes, and shrewd in your own sight! - Isaiah 5:20-21

Yup. @dianabutlerbass.bsky.social is saying what I’ve been saying for a while… they made our faith political.

This is the opposite of Christ's message! This is demonic!

Fact. Jesus would have thought a lot of you were handling your shit all wrong. And he'd have been right.

Thank, Diocese of Northern California 💜⚓️

EPF denounces Pres. Trump’s declaration the US assume control of the #Gaza Strip thru displacement of Palestinians. We echo UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese, who deemed the proposal “unlawful, immoral & completely irresponsible.” episcopalnewsservice.org/pressrelease... #InternationalLaw

Every church leader I've talked to across MD, VA, and DC has somewhere between 12 - 20 individuals and/or families with their paychecks and livelihoods suddenly ripped from them by Elon Musk. This is a pastoral emergency in every way.

GREAT: Start by ensuring that ICE goons don't invade churches. And move onto making sure the Feds pay their bills to Christian refugee services.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us from our enemies

Mainline Protestant Churches (Episcopal, Lutheran, Methodist, Presbyterian) along with our Catholic and Orthodox brothers and sisters need to prepare ourselves and organize because we will all be in the crosshairs

Let’s start with the bias against Christian organizations attempting to live out their faith by resettling and aiding refugees.

*the “right kind” of Christians (white conservative evangelicalism)

If your version of Christianity is easily used by wealthy oligarchs to justify the oppression of marginalized people around the world, then it is not the Christianity of Jesus.

Hi. If you’re a religious organization that uses federal funds to do your work, but are now frozen out of using those funds, feel free to drop me a DM or, more securely, a line over Signal (in bio). Same goes federal workers who work on/with religion, but are facing cuts.
