"By sacred, I do not mean exclusively religious or sectarian. Rather,... those activities through which communities transmit meaning, ...and form persons capable of participating responsibly in civic, democratic, and communal life." - Jonathan Lee Walton, President of Princeton Theological Seminary.

I keep thinking, now that this Court has completely diminished the Voting Rights Act and the generational Movement for freedom that pressed for it, that at least John Lewis and Charles Sherrod and Bernard Lafayette and Fannie Lou Hamer and John Perkins don't have to see it. It's our work now.
How was that not Cluff's 5th? Such uneven officiating here in the Big Ten title game. Go BLUE

"Too many of our religious leaders have clearly failed to oppose violence..Some of America’s most popular religious leaders have twisted the teachings of Jesus Christ beyond all recognition to justify an even more massive investment in the weapons of death & military destruction"-Coretta Scott King
How about a little good news on an otherwise wild spring Friday? Found out that the good people at the @louisvilleinstitute have agreed to fund work on my new book, "Committed: The Lives, Work and Love of Charles and Shirley Sherrod." So very honored to learn from and share their beautiful story

"Minnesotans are insisting that their neighbors are their neighbors whether they were born in Minneapolis or Mogadishu. That is, arguably, a deeply Christian philosophy, one apparently loathed by some of the most powerful Christians in America." Beautiful, @adamserwer.bsky.social
Adam Serwer@adamserwer.bsky.social · 7mo agoLast week in Minnesota, I watched ordinary people risk their lives to protect their neighbors. In the process, they not only won a significant—though not final—victory against authoritarianism, they proved virtually every MAGA social theory wrong.

Religious Historians: Anyone done/know of work on the rise of nondenominational evangelical churches, especially Association of Related Churches (ARC) affiliated ones? Articles, books, chapters, etc. Thank you! @aschurchhistory.bsky.social @profsamperry.bsky.social @drleahpayne.bsky.social
Well look at that. The inimitable @ansleyquiros.bsky.social gets a cite in Doug Wilson’s new apologia for Christian nationalism. And of course, he misrepresents (or didn’t read) her argument. @prri.org
