We tend to confuse commitment with perfection. It was an honor to deliver a contemplation on Luke 9:51-62 and on Oriental Orthodox Christian unity at Saint Stephen Knanaya Church in Maynard, Massachusetts, today. #orthodoxchurch #christianity https://t.co/njI17cFrUB

Conditions in #Tigray are beginning to dangerously resemble the humanitarian blockade we saw enacted during the last war.

Local partners in Tigray and women’s health experts told RI that the population is "preparing for the worst."

Introduced some of my @TuftsUniversity students to @SenMarkey. He has served as a state & fed legislator for decades. Great for them to learn more about govt & politics, bipartisanship in DC, as well as when & how he engages with state & local officials. #politicalscience #mapoli

Who actually decides justice, and what shapes those decisions? Grateful to host Suffolk District Attorney Kevin Hayden at @TuftsUniversity for a candid conversation that got at this fundamental question. #politicalscience #law #publicpolicy #criminaljustice #civicengagement

Ethiopia is not, as this claims, "achieving food security" (telling how they pair food security with sovereignty) - the government has intimidated the UN & other aid agencies into no longer reporting how many people are food insecure in the country.

I am grateful for our time together, the enriching dialogue, and the work these young leaders step into daily.

And yes, my trusted teaching assistant, Alula, definitely stole the show.

Welcomed Orthodox Volunteer Corps to @TuftsUniversity & facilitated “Faith, Public Service, Politics”—seminar on faith vs. power. As an educator, practitioner, & Orthodox Christian, I navigate & negotiate this daily. #faith #politics #publicservice #christianity #orthodoxchurch

Invoking Christ to glorify oneself, justify violence, or advance hate is a distortion of the Gospel and an act of blasphemy. President Trump’s repeated abuse of Christianity and his recent attacks on Pope Leo are unacceptable. My thoughts: https://t.co/Wj819P0bYI

Today is Palm Sunday for Orthodox Christians. At first glance, it looks like a familiar political moment: a charismatic public figure enters a city, greeted by a crowd, signaling what appears to be a claim to authority. But it is far more disruptive… https://t.co/rOdxrfkXsJ

Matthew 25:34-46 NIV

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you…

44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’

45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

AOC: "On this point of tax on tips, as one of the only people in this body who has lived off of tips, I want to tell you a little bit about the scam ... the cap on that is $25,000 while you're jacking up taxes on people who make less than $50,000 across the US ... while kicking them off the ACA."
