Will You Sit With Us?

Last updated on: February 2, 2016 at 11:09 pm By Guest Contributor

by Najeeba Syeed For two weeks I taught Qur’anic peacemaking & intersection with nature at my masjid. You can say a hundred things about the Muslim community. You can say what we are not. Let me tell you what we are: A brother recovering from drug addiction now utilizing his faith to build a new life. A sister recently migrated who faces deep discrimination at work and in life, yet learns to keep her faith as a central tool for reconciliation... Read more

#MLKDay: The New Wine of #BlackLivesMatter

Last updated on: January 20, 2016 at 10:36 am By Andre E. Johnson

On January 17, 2016, drawing from John 2:1-11, my King Day sermon focused on King’s prophetic activity and the “new wine” from Black Lives Matter. Below is a portion of that sermon. Hear the entire sermon here. …….I don’t know about you, but I am glad that God sends prophets. God sends prophets our way to speak truth to power. God send prophets to remind us of who and whose we are. God sends prophets to touch those hidden spaces... Read more

Why I Ain’t Afraid of No ISIS

Last updated on: January 16, 2016 at 11:35 am By Guest Contributor

I’m not saying that ISIS is not real. I’m just saying that my life is a series of priorities in which ISIS is considerably lower on the ‘fear inducing scale’ than a number of other things. Here are a few: 1. I live in a country in which a considerable number of people consider Donald Trump a viable candidate for leader of the free world. 2. I live in a country in which the water supply of an entire city... Read more

#LaryciaHawkins and Missed Opportunities at Ministry

Last updated on: January 11, 2016 at 6:44 pm By Guest Contributor

by Crystal St. Marie Lewis *First published at Window on Religion Like many of you, I’ve been following the Larycia Hawkins controversy very closely. Hawkins is the tenured professor at Wheaton College who decided to wear a hijab during the season of Advent as a display of solidarity with Muslims. During Dr. Hawkins’ time of solidarity, she publicly declared on her Facebook page that she viewed Muslims as sisters and brothers who have been “formed of the same primordial clay.”... Read more

Obama and the Tears of Frustration

Last updated on: January 6, 2016 at 1:24 pm By Fredrick Robinson

President Barack Obama’s tears during his gun control speech were a long time in coming. As he recalled the 20 elementary-school children who lost their lives in the 2012 massacre in Newtown, Connecticut, the president found new fountains. While the president has shed tears before, this time was different. I’m no psychologist and I’m not attempting to get into the president’s head, but I believe his tears—indeed, I hope—went beyond concern about gun violence, which, on its own, is enough to make...

What Must White Churches Do To Be Saved?

Last updated on: January 4, 2016 at 3:20 pm By Fredrick Robinson

In today’s racially, socially and economically unjust environment, the voices of white theologians like Jennifer Harvey are important. Harvey, author of Dear White Christians: For Those Still Longing for Racial Reconciliation, is making rounds at churches across the nation trying to convince them that reparations for descendants of former slaves is an idea that must not be ignored. I’m particularly interested in Harvey’s work because it targets white churches, institutions that continue to be—as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. put... Read more
