Dispatch from the Hurricane Sandy blackout

Last updated on: October 28, 2013 at 2:02 pm By Phil Fox Rose

I live in the middle of downtown Manhattan, so unless you have been on a self-imposed news blackout, you know that I’m in the midst of an electrical one, caused by Hurricane Sandy. Despite the warnings about potential outages, and despite the fact that I dutifully bought water and canned goods and made cold-brew coffee in advance, I didn’t really expect anything to happen. Probably largely because of the fizzle in New York City that was Hurricane Irene. So when... Read more

Integrity and sound judgment: Re-elect Barack Obama

Last updated on: October 29, 2012 at 9:48 am By Phil Fox Rose

As I mentioned last week, integrity is my top criterion in choosing a leader. Sound judgment is also critical. We never know what a president will face, so how they make decisions and lead is all we have to go on. While I have been disappointed in several areas, overall President Obama has been a principled, honest and intelligent leader. His actions have been reasonable and at times, if anything, too moderate. Barack Obama has been and will be a better president than Governor Romney. Now that we've just barely managed to climb out of the hole Bush dug us into, I look forward to seeing President Obama preside over the rest of the recovery, the end of the war, and the full rollout of Obamacare. He deserves that, and our country will be better for it. Read more

Annie Turner — The three crucial issues this election

Last updated on: October 26, 2012 at 10:58 am By Phil Fox Rose

There are three issues I see as crucial to this election, and none of them are being adequately addressed by either candidate: climate change, wealth inequality and war. All three issues affect the poor and marginalized of our world far more strongly than they do privileged folks who are more protected. Read more

The key election issues my faith gives me

Last updated on: October 27, 2012 at 8:22 am By Phil Fox Rose

I answer this week's #PatheosElection question: What are the key issues for people of your tradition to consider as they approach this election? Or as I put it, since the phrase "people of my tradition" raises its own set of questions: what issues my faith makes key for me. Read more

Anne Lindley — The Good Samaritan and the Social Safety Net

Last updated on: October 25, 2012 at 7:41 am By Phil Fox Rose

As a Christian, I believe Jesus was not kidding when He said "Whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me." Jesus talks about offering meat and drink, providing clothes, helping the sick. How about us? What should we do for our sisters and brothers? What kind of a social safety net should we try to provide in our country? This election gives Christians the chance to show what we believe Jesus meant. Read more

Leading song without written lyrics

Music That Makes Community teaches congregational song leaders how to work without hymnals, printed music or projected lyrics. I know firsthand that you're more able to be fully present, to look around you at the other congregants; singing becomes even more communal. The next workshop is this weekend in New York. Read more

Candidate Charlie Fuqua says stoning disobedient children would make an example of them

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 12:19 am By Phil Fox Rose

For years my go-to Bible quote to show the absurdity of still living by tribal law has been Deuteronomy 21:18-21, which says that rebellious children should be stoned to death. Meet Republican candidate for the Arkansas legislature Charlie Fuqua, a full-blown Christian Reconstructionist who has caught national attention because his e-book "God's Law", published this Spring, says stoning children may not be such a bad idea.
