River West Church in Oregon publicly addressed Pastor Adam McMurray’s resignation after he admitted to an affair and removed him from leadership. Church leaders emphasized a transparent approach, along with care for the congregation and support for his family.

Norway is reversing its mistaken 2016 decision to give every student an iPad, which damaged education immediately. Many countries are going back to books and handwriting. I hope many American schools will go back to analog next September, and let's see if that works for us too:

Six years a slave, and then you slipped the yoke,
Till Christ recalled you, through your captors cries!
Patrick, you had the courage to turn back,
With open love to your old enemies,

A truth-teller disturbs, alerts, wakens, and warns against indifference to injustice and complacency about the needs of human beings.  To be silent about injustices in this world is to be a partner with those who carry out violence and evil and corruption.

@NancyAFrench I did not but my son had an invisible friend named “Nobody Duck”. He was with us from son’s age 2-6.

@kristenmcknight Wondering how anyone would want to have such a mean and ungodly pastor? Also guessing the response from our CA gov and leaders to Hibbs will be more Christlike?

Why are fewer people attending church, and why do some feel dissatisfied with it?

Perhaps the answer lies in refocusing the church on its true purpose—to be a community that helps us commune with God rather than merely a venue for entertainment or self-help advice.

I can’t stop thinking about this 🧵

[John Dickson @johnpauldickson]

I teach a class here at @WheatonCollege on the history of Christianity, focused on the first thousand years. One thought haunts me. We are right to look with shock and disappointment at the way medieval Christians accepted violence as a norm. 1/

If this chart was about the rise of physical illness in teens rather than mental illness, there would be a full-scale national emergency to fix it. Government, schools, scientists, industry would all be cooperating to reverse the trend.

The letter Frederick Douglass wrote to the enslaver he had escaped from is the things most heart-wrenching things I’ve ever read. Rhetorically brilliant & profoundly Christian. Douglass should be required reading in Christian education. This part about his kids though: 😢😢

REC read:
“what I am lamenting right now, alongside the racist violence itself, is also the lack of protest lament from some of my brothers and sisters in the church.”
“How many times have I blatantly turned away from pain and injustice all around me and rested in my privilege.”
