Thousands of people have fled their homes after a volcano erupted in Goma, Democratic Republic of Congo, last night. Hebdavi Muhindo, who leads Tearfund’s work in the DRC and lives in Goma, asks for prayers for those who have lost so much and are trying to find temporary shelter.

One solution to the problem of vaccine nationalism: Tithing vaccine doses. For every nine doses administered in a rich country, donate one to the COVAX vaccine pool. https://t.co/2bXIcDSh6y

Trading off economic prosperity and healthy places to live means we're asking the wrong questions. Thanks @Qideas for posting this #QMoment !

[THINQ Media @thinq__media]

@Rustypritchard helps us focus our understanding of place & space toward an awareness of the geography in which we live.

He helps us understand how past decisions have created unjust environments for under-resourced people groups, & our opportunity to change this.

@byronborger Praying for you both...

@drmoore @EagleOxford I remember my first visit there. It was magical for me and yet no one else in the pub seemed even to be aware of the history. It was a normal pub, still doing what a pub does. I wonder how many other places weighted with glory I’ve visited unawares.

Any theology that accommodates injustice (through denial, minimization, or support) is more secular than sacred.

The great mark of this sinful age has always been to ask “am I my brothers keeper?” Christ alone gives us the grace to say with our lives “I am my brothers keeper.”

Tears of gratitude after reading this beautiful reflection about mothers, and Jesus’s mother in particular. Please read it!

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

In our culture, #MothersDay is a time at which each of us thinks about the woman who gave us life. But why is it that so many men, as they lay dying, call for their mothers? I answer that question in my new article: Why Do Dying Men Call for "Mama?" https://t.co/NfI17A5PRg

Thanks Bob! It's a different way to experience beauty. Looking at the forest reflected in a lake makes you pay attention to different details. Thanks for your work.

Our friends at TearfundUSA released this beautiful video for Earth Day. There's silence at the start and then the music starts at 0:13. https://t.co/liB0DFBApE via @YouTube

@Jack_Wakefield @CaitFaith I just saw this today, Jack. You may have heard the folk story about how the goldfinch came to have red on its face...

[Russell Moore @drmoore]

Just so we’re reminded of the ones who’ve been held back, up front there out to be a Man in Black.

Thank you Arkansas. Good move.

That was AFTER someone had sprayed it over half of NC!

This talk from @Rustypritchard on Environmental Justice is unreal:

"the system we’ve created managed to re-concentrate it (toxic waste) and put in black people’s backyards. That’s a powerful racist system."
