Another Open Letter to Nikki Haley: Madam Ambassador, Apply Your Israel Common Sense & Justice to South Sudan

Last updated on: December 29, 2017 at 12:30 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

On Monday, December 18, 2017, US Ambassador to the United Nations Nikki Haley stood up to the UN Security Council as few representatives have ever done. Hers was the lone dissenting vote as the 14 other UNSC member states voted in favor of a resolution introduced by Egypt condemning the US for deciding to move its embassy to Jerusalem. The resolution even attempted to prohibit the US from this action. Haley’s arm shot up at the call for “against” with... Read more

Three Other Things the American Atheists Get Wrong About Christmas

Last updated on: December 19, 2017 at 10:39 am By Faith J. H. McDonnell

(In addition, that is, to the BIG ONES – concerning the Deity of Christ, and the birth of the Messiah, to Mary, a young Jewish virgin.) The American Atheists are baaack! With yet another attack on Christmas. This year’s Angry Atheist Attack comes in the form of telling people to skip church and calling the birth of Christ “fake news.” These two messages appear on a billboard with a deceptively sweet drawing of a Nativity scene with Mary, Joseph, and the Baby. Also in the scene... Read more

Top Five Reasons to Support #RedWednesday

Last updated on: November 21, 2017 at 8:06 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Tomorrow, November 22, 2017, is #RedWednesday, an effort to call attention to those who are persecuted for their faith around the world using the red. Red is the color traditionally associated with Christian martyrs, and with Jesus Himself (hence, the abundance of RED church doors) but the #RedWednesday effort is for all victims of persecution and of Antisemitism globally. The 21st Century Wilberforce Initiative (21CWI) introduced this campaign in the United States. #RedWednesday began in the United Kingdom, as a creation of Aid to the Church in Need(ACN-UK). In Great Britain, the... Read more

An Open Letter to Ambassador Haley: A Different View of South Sudan

Last updated on: November 3, 2017 at 4:19 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Dear Ambassador Haley: My view of South Sudan and the conflict is not at all popular right now. I have lost friends and garnered much hostility for speaking out. I have had colleagues roll their eyes and some South Sudanese call me “pro-Dinka” and “government collaborator.” But I am not. I am pro-truth, and truth has been replaced by a false narrative with convenient sound bites. I cannot stay silent. After 24 years of experience with Sudan and South Sudan,... Read more

Labor of Love in Texas, Continued

Last updated on: September 8, 2017 at 12:30 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

On September 7 I wrote about the tireless rescuers saving lives during Hurricane (A.K.A. Tropical Storm) Harvey. In particular, I introduced you to International Harbor Foundation (IHF), the organization led by U.S. Special Operations veterans. IHF was created to rescue victims of sex trafficking and abduction, but since Hurricane Harvey made its appearance IHF has devoted its time to helping rescue families trapped by the rising flood waters. Last night the local Fox News television station in Houston did their... Read more

Labor of Love in Texas

Last updated on: September 6, 2017 at 1:00 am By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Most of us just enjoyed a long holiday weekend. We said goodbye to summer with a cookout at home or one last trip to the beach. But Labor Day weekend was different on the Texas Gulf Coast. As you know, things have been different since Hurricane Harvey hit Houston. So in that flood-drenched region, Labor Day was just another day to try to become accustomed to the new reality — one that no longer includes a home, a car, belongings, stability. It was another day to wake up in a... Read more

Don’t Ignore Khartoum’s Genocidal Ambitions: We Must Keep Sanctions

Last updated on: August 24, 2017 at 3:39 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

In his speech announcing the release of the 2016 Annual Report on International Religious Freedom Secretary of State Rex Tillerson called out the Sudan government. “In Sudan the government arrests, detains and intimidates clergy and church members,” Tillerson said. He added that the government “denies permits for the construction of new churches and is closing or demolishing existing ones.” Secretary Tillerson encouraged Sudan to “engage concretely on the religious freedom action plan provided by the department last year.” But that’s...
