One of the most influential conflicts in the world is the Israeli-Palestinian one. In some ways “conflict” implies two equal sides having a go at each other. In reality it is a David and Goliath battle of one supremely powerful military seeking utter dominance over a people
May whatever is stirring in #Asbury and hopefully many other places unspoken, be part of softening the stone heart of a country and overturning the religion it’s known. Let it bring in a better Way, like the heart of this abolitionist. 🎥 ⬇️
Last night, Florida carried out its first execution in nearly four years, and this was the 100th Florida execution of the modern era (since the Supreme Court allowed executions to resume in 1976). One of the men who supervised executions in Florida is Ron McAndrew, a retired prison warden. He was haunted -- haunted -- by the men he killed. I interviewed him for my book "Executing Grace" and will never forget it. He helped Florida transition from electric chair to lethal injection, which he originally hoped would be a more sanitized way of executing people. But he was still haunted... There is just no good way to kill someone, he told me. He has become one of the most credible voices in the movement to abolish the death penalty. Now we have captured Ron's story in our film series, "The People vs. The Death Penalty." We'll be posting other short clips over the next few weeks. Here's the clip of Ron McAndrew. Please take a moment to watch it.
