You may not agree with everything I write, but at the very least, you’ll learn how to navigate this cultural moment with holy courage, spiritual discernment and amazing grace.

Religious Americans from all faiths are now picketing Children's National Hospital D.C. at the offices of ArentFox Schiff LLP after AFS partners David Grosso and Barbara Wahl appeared at D.C. Office of Human Rights in the forced-sex-change-religious-discrimination case, claiming that the D.C. Human Rights Act does not include CNH as a place of public accommodation -- even though the statute states that hospitals ARE such places and thus may NOT discriminate based on RELIGION, as Christian parents' records show CNH set out to do (i.e., don't read certain parts of the Bible in your home, if you want custody of your sex-changed son we are keeping from you on 3-day holds). @bourne_beth2345@becketfund@ADFLegal@batten_von@America1stLegal@USCCB@AMEChurchOff@PNBCINC@COGICisLIVE@nbcusa_inc

Use caution if traveling in the area.
Certain hospitals in our region have become so fraught with moral corruption that direct action is back. Gratified that a coalition of folks in the Nat’l Action Network and NAACP are joined by conservatives in the looming marches we announced today at MedStar Hosp in Clinton, Md.

@DrEliDavid Thank you for the support, Dr. David. Insult to Jesus Christ increases, and persecution of Christians continues but God will not be mocked. I did not see any of the coverage last night and will now boycott the Olympics.

I was compelled to register the unbiased position quietly shared among innumerable fellow Harvard alumni as this disgraceful ending unfolded today — as quoted here:

Nashville was given the Nickname ‘Music City’ by England's Queen Victoria after receiving the Fisk
University Jubilee Singers in her court in 1873.
The group, made of mostly those formely enslaved, put Nashville on the musical map.
—Fisk University opened in Nashville in 1866 as the first American university to offer a liberal arts education to “young men and women irrespective of color.” Five years later the school was in dire financial straits.
George L. White, Fisk treasurer and music professor then, created a nine-member choral ensemble of students and took it on tour to earn money for the University. Every one of these students had been enslaved. The group left campus on October 6, 1871. Jubilee Day is celebrated annually on October 6 to commemorate this historic day.
The first concerts were in small towns. Surprise, curiosity, and some hostility were the early audience response to these young black singers who did not perform in the traditional “minstrel fashion.”
One early concert in Cincinnati brought in $50, which was promptly donated to victims of the notorious 1871 fire in Chicago. When they reached Columbus, the next city on tour, the students were physically and emotionally drained. Mr. White, in a gesture of hope and encouragement, named them “The Jubilee Singers,” a Biblical reference to the year of Jubilee in the Book of Leviticus, Chapter 25.
Continued perseverance and beautiful voices began to change attitudes among the predominantly white audiences. Eventually skepticism was replaced by standing ovations and critical praise in reviews. Gradually they earned enough money to cover expenses and send back to Fisk.
In 1872 they sang at the World Peace Festival in Boston and at the end of the year President Ulysses S. Grant invited them to perform at the White House.
In 1873 the group grew to eleven members and toured Europe for the first time. Funds raised that year were used to construct the school’s first permanent building, Jubilee Hall. Today Jubilee Hall, designated a National Historic Landmark by the US Department of Interior in 1975, is one of the oldest structures on campus. The beautiful Victorian Gothic building houses a floor-to-ceiling portrait of the original Jubilee Singers, commissioned by Queen Victoria during the 1873 tour as a gift from England to Fisk.
