Positive step forward! Here is my interview on the Pope allowing priests to bless same-safe couples. https://t.co/WvHSpdR2OA

Re: Vatican declaration on same-sex blessings. Be wary of the "Nothing has changed" response to today's news. It's a significant change. In short, yesterday, as a priest, I was forbidden to bless same-sex couples at all. Today, with some limitations, I can.

The Check Your Heart Act would add the Donor Registry question to Michigan income tax forms. Thank you to Reps Brabec, Price and Neeley for sponsoring and the Michigan Secretary of State and Michigan Treasurer for supporting this life-saving legislation.

News: Walter Brueggemann, one of the world's leading Biblical scholars, argues that the underlying message of the Gospels for LGBTQ people is welcome. The "full acceptance and embrace of LGBTQ persons follows as a clear mandate of the Gospel in our time." https://t.co/KaqcW6UQR3

@RepRashida @GiftofLifeMich Thank you for supporting organ and tissue donation!

[Congresswoman Rashida Tlaib @RepRashida]

Did you know patients from communities of color make up 60% of the nat'l transplant waiting list but ~40% of the population?

Thanks to @GiftofLifeMich for 50 years of tireless work to shine a light on issues like this & to get our neighbors the transplants they need. #NMDAM
