@andrewmarkhenry Hey Andrew! Did you go to SBL this year? I did. It was my first year presenting.

[James Martin, SJ @JamesMartinSJ]

Catholics need not be wary of June's #PrideMonth It’s a way for LGBT people to be proud that they are beloved children of God, they have families who love them as they are, and they have a right to be treated with "respect, compassion and sensitivity" after years of persecution.

@rachelsteenblik @joshuadtanner @MyMormonOpinion @HohleDenLowen @DaBessSherry @shaylafrandsen @olivia_meikle I'm very curious to see some examples of this! I'm not aware of any.

[Jeremy Hooper 🥨 @goodasyou]

In that case, can Satan cook breakfast, bathe, dress, and take my kid to preschool tomorrow? I’m tired. https://t.co/K7Po9gXMGx

Wow. Bonnie Oscarson's voice breaks as she pleads for YW to have more responsibility in the @LDSchurch and to feel their contributions are valued. I hope leaders are listening. The longitudinal stats on teen girls leaving organized religion are now actually worse than for boys.

I am convinced that each of us, at some time in our lives, must discover the scriptures for ourselves—and not just discover them once, but rediscover them again and again. ––Spencer W. Kimball

If you believe the presence of undocumented immigrants are driving down your wages, maybe you should organize w/ them to secure a living wage for every worker instead of being a lackey for the system that oppresses you. IJS

[Beth Moore @BethMooreLPM]

It will become increasingly vital that we learn to distinguish between what is pro-Christian and what is actually Christlike.

@missmadiejean @rachelsteenblik Janan Graham-Russell has written about Heavenly Mother as a black woman.

[Mitt Romney @MittRomney]

No, not the same. One side is racist, bigoted, Nazi. The other opposes racism and bigotry. Morally different universes.

[GeneralConference @ldsconf]

"We must guard against bigotry that raises its ugly voice toward those who hold different opinions." #ElderRenlund | #LDSConf

[Derek Knox @LDThinking]

@metteharrison I was curious about that myself. But the blessing is that much of this talk has pro-LGBT implications.

@MassTPC When/where is the rally on March 5?
