Self-care isn’t always enough for those facing racism and inadequate support systems! What do we need to be doing differently Disciples of Christ and theological educators? https://t.co/ucZDXfd1yS

If the US would stop making ‘public safety’ synonymous with ‘white comfort’, we might have a chance to fix our broken systems.

[Pastoral Theology @JPTSPT]

We'll learn from those inside and outside our Society, speaking prophetic truth to our apocalyptic world and ivory-towered privilege. We've invited a range of practitioners from various spheres to aid us in articulating a public, pastoral theology of viral care and viral justice.

[Pastoral Theology @JPTSPT]

A new special issue of JPT is available, which engages "the realities facing Black and Brown people in the United States and offer recommendations for individual and communal interventions" as guest editor Nicholas Grier states.

[Pastoral Theology @JPTSPT]

In the latest issue of JPT, Joshua Morris offers an evocative article on care to veterans' moral injury as counterhegemony. Editors Samuel Lee & Danjuma Gibson state, "Pastoral theologians have moral obligation to speak into the times." This new issue will help us fill that call.

[BLM INDY @indy10people]

The prison industrial complex denies prisoners the affirmation of humanity and dignity of life. It prioritizes profit and neglects people.

It’s past time to reimagine the world we live in and disengage carceral responses to harm done.

Abolish the death penalty.

[Terri Hord Owens @terrihordowens]

Happy Hanukkah to our Jewish siblings! Never before has the power and miracle of light been more needed in our world!

[Terri Hord Owens @terrihordowens]

Abolish the death penalty.

Can't understand why 70 million voted for him? We live in an anxious world so we look for strength and answers. We're groupies who follow the pack. Don't Give Up On Your Neighbors! #DontGiveUpOnYourNeighbors #wereinthistogether

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

Yes, the vote is about White Supremacy and the "end of Christendom." But many people don't really vote for ideology but part of a group, and aspects of character: Trump seemed stronger to anxious people. Don't give up on your neighbors: they're unsettled, just in a different way!

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

Many of you were hoping for a clear renunciation of Trump, like this isn't the country you thought it is. He received 70,000,000 votes in part: anxious people look for seemingly strong leaders. Millions more votes because he just "beat" COVID. Don't give up on your neighbors!

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@Knapsack Jeff, there's only 538 electors; it can only tie 269-269. 270 wins for Biden

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@JoeBiden I hope you follow this excellent advice! https://t.co/RAN7C6YH3g

[Rev Dr Charles Harrison @charlesharriso5]

I wish the city would have waited to launch their public safety plan until after they met with the clergy and community leaders. Our crime prevention plan is strong and has been battle tested over time.

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@RevDrBarber Should we have a synchronized national response -- another time of silence -- and discourage people from going to Tulsa?

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@indy10people Should we plan a protest at the same time as DT’s speech in Tulsa on Juneteenth?

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@SenSchumer will you fight for racial equity? We need you to prioritize #EquityForAll in the HEROES Act and pass legislation against police brutality!

[Jim Higginbotham @RevDocJim]

@SenatorBraun Increase the maximum monthly SNAP benefit by at least 15%
#DidYouKnow? Every $1 increase in SNAP generates more than $1.50 in economic activity.
Increasing SNAP benefits is not just the moral thing to do, it’s the smart thing to do. #OurFaithOurFuture
