In the Era of Hatred, a Better Way Forward

Last updated on: June 28, 2017 at 2:30 pm By Guest Contributor

It is astounding how short-lived our memory is as a nation. Political ethicist Reinhold Niebuhr believed we had much to learn from remembering our history. He once observed that history always repeats itself, although never in the same way. In our current political climate we could gain much from remembering our particular history with hatred and the moral failings and destruction that has resulted from this hatred. For example, hatred coupled with an insatiable hunger for power drove the United... Read more

Rethinking Our Approach to Injustice

Last updated on: June 22, 2017 at 4:26 pm By Guest Contributor

“But let justice roll down like waters, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream” Amos 5:24 (NRSV). Many of us long for the fulfillment of these words. We cry out against the injustice we see, align ourselves with its victims, and work to change our world for the better. Unfortunately, our efforts often seem to fall on deaf ears—the ones who could change the structures of injustice counter with resistance, denial, and alternative explanations that preserve the status quo. What would... Read more

Beyond Salvation: Love Will Heal Us

Last updated on: June 15, 2017 at 11:22 pm By Guest Contributor

During the confirmation hearing of Russell Vought, the nominee for deputy director of the Office of Management and Budget, a very contentious exchange took place between him and senator Sanders of Vermont. During the hearing, senator Sanders quoted a passage from a 2016 blog written by Vought to defend Wheaton College. The passage was apparently found to be particularly objectionable: “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his... Read more

New York Must Choose: Stand With Children or With Their Abusers

Last updated on: June 19, 2017 at 3:41 pm By Posted by Editor

When victims of child sex abuse come forward to seek justice and stop abusers from harming others, unbelievably they are blocked by New York State law. New York ranks among the worst in the nation — alongside Alabama, Mississippi and Michigan — for how its courts and criminal justice system treat survivors of child sex abuse. If you think a law doesn’t make much difference, take a moment to consider Sara: “When I was 13 and 14 years old, I... Read more

Consuming the Eucharist Chastises Our Consumerism

Last updated on: June 7, 2017 at 2:35 pm By Guest Contributor

“On the night he was betrayed he took bread, broke it, and gave it to his friends, and said, “Take, eat: This is my body, which is given for you…”” says the minister. Then he exhorts the congregation to repent. The congregants rise and approach the table. They take of the bread and drink the wine. Later they receive the benediction to go forth into the world to serve and love. And go forth they do. They sprint out... Read more

Who Is My Neighbor? (Reflections on the L.A. Riots)

Last updated on: May 9, 2017 at 5:52 pm By Posted by Editor

A guest post from Rebecca Lister This past week marks the 25th anniversary of the Los Angeles riots. On NPR’s Here and Now, I was listening to the host, Robin Young, as she interviewed the four African American strangers who saved a white truck driver from being beaten to death on that day. Fueled by the acquittal of four white police officers in the brutal beating of African American taxi driver Rodney King, the riots personified all that was wrong... Read more

PRESIDENTS TRUMP & DUTERTE SHOULD TRAVEL TOGETHER FROM THE WHITE HOUSE TO THE SOBER HOUSE

Last updated on: May 1, 2017 at 6:56 pm By Dwight Lee Wolter

During a “very friendly conversation,” last Saturday, the President of the United States, Donald J. Trump, invited the President of the Philippines, Rodrigo Duterte, to the White House ~ knowing that seven months ago (10/16), in response to the presence of three million drug addicts in his country, President Duterte was quoted in the New York Times as saying, “I’d be happy to slaughter them” and then he went on to cite Hitler’s actions during the Holocaust ~ adding that...
