Now is Not the Time to Abandon “Evangelical”

Last updated on: March 18, 2016 at 8:46 am   By Chelsen Vicari

The massive mistreatment and misuse of the term “Evangelical” indicates a whopping amount of lost or confused souls in America, not a reason to abandon the term altogether. Read more

A Saint Bridging Ireland’s Great Divide

Last updated on: March 17, 2016 at 12:09 am   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Being half Irish, I’ve always had great fondness for St. Patrick. That fondness grew when I was on my first short-term mission trip to Northern Ireland in the 1980’s. I discovered on that trip that in spite of the Roman Catholic/Protestant division in that time of ‘the Troubles,’ both Catholics and Protestants claimed a connection to Patrick. Who was this saintly man who could be owned by both sides of that great chasm? Going into town from our mission base at Darkley House in South Armagh,... Read more

China’s One-Child Policy is Over, But Not Its Culture of Death

Last updated on: March 16, 2016 at 12:29 pm   By Chelsen Vicari

If you think China’s communist government is considering the sacredness and dignity of human life by nixing its one-child policy, you’d be wrong. Read more

Call It Genocide: ISIS Victims Deserve the Designation

Last updated on: March 14, 2016 at 8:14 pm   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

UPDATE: THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES PASSED UNANIMOUSLY (393-0) H.CON.RES. 75 TONIGHT. The clock is ticking in the final hours before Secretary of State John Kerry’s announcement. Will the State Department make a determination of genocide for the victims of ISIS? And if so, will that critical determination be given only to the Yazidis — who definitely deserve it — or also to Christians and other religious minorities targeted for extinction by ISIS? According to law, the State Department must make its determination to... Read more

International Criminal Court Indictment of Sudan President: Sound and Fury Signifying Nothing

Last updated on: March 3, 2016 at 4:39 pm   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

If you happen to be in Manhattan this afternoon, and stroll past Dag Hammarskjold Plaza in front of the UN, you will most likely see dozens of people with signs declaring such slogans as “Arrest Bashir,” “#JusticeNOW,” and “Stop Rape in Darfur.” Or if you are on Twitter or Facebook, you may see the same demands. . . and, hopefully, even participate in some of the action yourself. The early 2000’s called: They want their war criminal arrested. And so do... Read more

A Prayer for Super Tuesday

Last updated on: March 1, 2016 at 10:22 am   By Chelsen Vicari

Super Tuesday is here. Americans in a dozen states will pick their favorite presidential nominee. Who’s leading the Republican presidential primary polls? The man we kids of the 90s recognize from a Home Alone 2 cameo and then later reality TV show The Apprentice. Donald “You’re fired!” Trump is sprinting in the polls by double digits in some places for the job of Commander and Chief. Apparently, it’s we “evangelicals” who’ve helped him along the trail. For the past two... Read more

The Greater Tide and the Bloodstained Shore

Last updated on: February 26, 2016 at 8:56 am   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Their minds were free. their hearts were brave. They kept their promise to the grave. (“The Greater Tide,” Attalus) “Let no man write my epitaph.” That’s not much of a problem when it comes to 21st century martyrdom. Memorials and tributes to today’s Christians who have died for the faith is definitely a niche market. A small niche market. For instance, on Friday night, February 26, at 7PM, a group will gather outside The White House for a candlelight vigil to commemorate the... Read more

Actions to Fight ISIS Genocide of Christians, Others

Last updated on: February 19, 2016 at 6:49 pm   By Faith J. H. McDonnell

In my last blog post I talked about passivity/denial versus advocacy/action. The behavior of the German churches in WWII that sing hymns louder to drown out the cries of the Jews is being repeated today in the face of ISIS’ genocide by some American Christians. Watch the film “Sing a Little Louder” and share it with your friends, fellow church members, and pastors. Now it is time to take action. And the actions suggested in this blog post should be taken as soon as... Read more
