In recent days, the Supreme Court has made decisions that hurt humans (esp. women and Native Americans) and the Earth. Fundamentalist interpretations of the Constitution bear similar fruit to fundamentalist readings of the Bible. We're in trouble. Vote common good!

@brianmclaren @MichaelC_MPA @DavidCrumm As a pastor who as just "retired" it is perfectly timed.

Thought for the day: Martin Luther went through a process of religious deconstruction. The system he was deeply committed to began falling apart for him FROM THE INSIDE, and so he sought a better way—and not without criticism from those committed to defending the system.

Having said such hopeful and touching things in this New Year’s Day post, the first sound of the new year was not birdsong or gentle rain, but the kitty working a hair ball right next to my bed. I guess this is is what people mean when they talk about life on life’s terms.

“Our deepest challenges to faith, the ones that threaten to undo everything - they are part of the mystery of faith precisely because they lead us to question what we believe.

Heaven help us if we ever stop questioning what we believe.”

I believe your image of God creates you—or defeats you. There is an absolute connection between how we see God and how we see ourselves and the universe. #DailyMeditations @CACRadicalGrace https://t.co/UifySWi3fQ

Jesus said, “Sell everything you have and give the money to the poor.”

It is a strange thing that we celebrate his birth by buying things for people who already have so much, in a world where so many have so little.

This is the real war on Christmas.

Heartbroken, angry, and determined to keep up the struggle for equal justice, I echo the words of @RevJenButler : “When radicalized vigilantes roam the streets with AR-15s, with societal license to kill, we are not yet the beloved community that God calls us to be.”

@laurchastain22 I am embarrassed because we are not all like that. Honest.
