The RPCNA has been true to scripture and themselves in this. The denomination first adopted an abolitionist stance in 1800, even though many of their members lived in the Carolinas at the time.

Decline of religion remains stalled, says new Pew report. But there's no revival yet. (RNS) — For the past five years, the decline of religion in America has stalled, after years of decline.

A friend posted on another social media site that the way in which so many troops were "walking" instead of "marching" in Saturday's DC parade was a deliberate act of protest and defiance. Can anyone confirm this? If so, God bless them!

What a joy to read this! Martha and Tammy were friends back in our Chicago Days. Thank you to Heartland Presbytery for this wonderful act of justice and reconciliation!

Joni Ernst used to be a professed Christian, but I'm not seeing much of Jesus in her these days....

Subjective censorship of content, however personally objectionable to some, is something quite other. It is perilous for freedom of expression and for all of us who aren't heteronormative and cisgendered.

Reasonable regulation of the "adult" industry viz age restrictions, health and safety requirements, documentation that performers are of age and participating freely by mutual consent, that no animal abuse is involved, that no illegal substances are being used, etc., is tangible and objective.

I am very concerned about Senator Mike Lee's proposed bill to define and ban pornography.  The language is very subjective, with ill-defined terminology reflecting particular faith-based assumptions.  Such legislation could be easily mis-used against the LGBTQ+ community, Trans, Feminists, etc.

Thankful that Leo XIV will seemingly follow in the footsteps of Pope Francis in many things. Nervous about his past indications on women and LGBTQ+.

Now defunding NPR & PBS.... Now a new onslaught against Harvard, and others.... And, and, and....

I'm a Progressive Christian who doesn't believe in things like the Rapture. But I often find myself wishing that those who DO would get what they so want! Both sides would be so much happier if they were gone and we were left behind to get on with following Jesus in our way....

Graphic featuring a quote by Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde. “Have mercy, Mr. President, on those in our communities whose children fear that their parents will be taken away, and that you help those who are fleeing war zones and persecution in their own lands to find compassion and welcome here. Our God teaches us that we are to be merciful to the stranger, for we were once strangers in this land.”

Today marks 100 days since Trump took office for the second time.

From day one, religious leaders and faith communities have demonstrated moral clarity in this current moment of crisis.

We are just getting started.

Though not perfect - none of us is - imo our brother Francis was the best Pope since John XXIII. This old Protestant gives thanks for his ministry (to the very end) and prays that his spirit rests well in God's light and eternal peace.

Since the 4th century C.E., at least, the Paschal Feast of Easter has typically been celebrated in the context of Empire. But the original happened in the context of Cosmos and Counter-culture, offering existential hope and encouragement in life-affirming resistance. Alleluia! May it be so!
