Trayvon Martin and the American Judicial System

Last updated on: July 18, 2013 at 10:08 pm By Andrew Marin

A few hours ago the ruling of “not guilty” by a six-women jury permeated the now infamous courtroom in Stanford, Florida, as George Zimmerman will not serve any jail time for killing unarmed African-American teenager Trayvon Martin. Twitter is blowing up. I had to shut it off. So much heartache as well as so many crazy blasphemous 140 character statements, and nothing anyone can do about them. I pray for peace tonight and the coming days for forthcoming protests sure... Read more

Last updated on: May 21, 2016 at 1:48 pm By Andrew Marin

Dear Friends, It is with great excitement, and some trepidation, that I want to share an exciting change here at The Marin Foundation.

As my involvement with the United Nations has increased over the past three years there were many organizations, people, institutions and... Read more

Don’t Feel That Way!

Last updated on: July 8, 2013 at 10:24 am By Andrew Marin

The following post is from Brent Bailey, a Master of Divinity student at Abilene Christian University. Brent is interning with us at The Marin Foundation this summer, and you can find his blog at oddmanout.net. How effective is it when someone tells you not to feel the way you feel?

Acceptance of Self

Last updated on: June 28, 2013 at 12:53 am By Andrew Marin

The following post comes from the anonymous blogger behind The Registered Runaway, a gay man navigating his way through faith, sexuality and inner peace. By the time I was literate, I had the entire Left Behind kid series stacked on my shelf. The books, for those that don’t know, are futuristic stories of when God raptures Christians up to heaven, leaving behind the skeptical and non-believers to survive the apocalypse and, the Anti-Christ, and then- if they aren’t lucky- hell.
