Dorothy Day… bringing the fire.🔥Thinking of her today. She died on this day in 1980.

Been reading John Phillip Newell’s “Sacred Earth Sacred Soul.” Wow. #Pelagiuswasright. Never new how Celtic I am!

Love this! "Newcomers" as a different way to refer to immigrants, refugees, and asylum seekers. Thanks Shane and to the compassionate and creative folks in Canada who came up with this.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

I really like how the Canadians I’ve been with this week refer to immigrants, refugees, & asylum seekers… as “newcomers.”

Simple. Kind. Neighborly.

Okay now I really need to read this book Diana! Thanks...

[Bryan Sirchio @BryanJSirchio]

I think Diana Butler Bass is right. Rest. Pray. Weep. Laugh. Connect. Listen deeply. Let’s do whatever is ours to do to renew our strength for the long road and the “Slow Work of God.”

Sign as many petitions as possible. Sing, pray, march to end the cruelty being done to children and families at the border and beyond. Time to awaken our soul as a people and stop this heinous nonsense. Enough is enough.

[Shane Claiborne @ShaneClaiborne]

It’s revival time on the border.🔥Nothing like hundreds of people worshipping God and ready to go to jail for justice. #MoralMonday

So sorry to hear about the passing of Rachel Held Evans. This quote is a great indication of why she resonated with so many.

[Lillian Daniel @lillianfdaniel]

“Want millennials back in the pews? Stop trying to make church ‘cool’. When I left church at age 29, full of doubt and disillusionment, I wasn’t looking for a better-produced Christianity. I was looking for a truer Christianity, a more authentic Christianity.” - Rachel Held Evans

Something downright archetypal about this soldier's reunion with her dog...

[Brian D. McLaren @brianmclaren]

Some days (or years) you need some happy loyal dog videos.

As usual, the Dalai Lama cuts through to the core with skmple truth.

[Dalai Lama @DalaiLama]

Even more important than the warmth and affection we receive, is the warmth and affection we give. It is by giving warmth and affection, by having a genuine sense of concern for others, in other words through compassion, that we gain the conditions for genuine happiness.

Miniature golf or field hockey? Either way what a joy to be with both my kids and their spouses and all their beautiful babies. https://t.co/1Tgogq1Vkc

These two brothers write great #haitianmusic about life among the poorest of the poor. They sing about #socialjustice and the #struggleforlife. They usually spend an evening with us… https://t.co/dcfOSCQI9E
