#TamirRice: 10 Things White People Can Do

Last updated on: December 29, 2015 at 4:25 pm By Guest Contributor

by Amber Johnson The contextual and physical resemblance between Tamir Rice and Emmett Till is striking. It doesn’t seem coincidental at all. History repeats itself. The nerve of the city to actually ask “why was Tamir in the park?” and use it as a part of any defense proves how dire this situation and many many many more are. Analogy: if a woman is raped, it’s like me asking well why did she have a hole anyhwere on her body that... Read more

#TamirRice: A Prayer of Lament

Last updated on: December 29, 2015 at 9:42 am By Andre E. Johnson

This morning as I was doing my devotion I ran across Psalm 10. As I read the Psalm, it began to speak to me in a powerful way as a prayer for how I am feeling as yet another Grand Jury decided not to indict police officers for killing yet another black child. As I mediate on this Psalm, I also pray for those working in police departments and District Attorney offices across the nation. Oh Lord hear my prayer…….... Read more

#DarriusStewart and the Perceived Infallibility of the System

Last updated on: December 27, 2015 at 1:39 pm By Earle Fisher

I am a Christian pastor who is often disturbed by the claim that the bible is not only inspired by God (I can live with that) but also without error and unquestionable. To believe that the bible is without error is understandable. I believe that bible says what it intends to say. On the other hand, when dealing with absolute and eternal truth, flawlessness lies beyond the human paygrade. Do not be deceived. Nothing human beings have aided in publishing... Read more

#DonaldTrump: Our Scapegoat of the Moment

Last updated on: December 27, 2015 at 1:41 pm By Guest Contributor

by Naomi Clark Responses to Donald Trump’s recent “solution” to the ongoing refugee crisis range from outrage to applause. Many appear to be convinced that closed borders, registries, badges, and internment camps are a matter of national security. An yet, as others are pointing out, such policies are strikingly similar to those of Nazi Germany. Here’s the point I’m afraid too many of us will miss: like Trump, Hitler’s approach wasn’t really unique for his time, just more extreme. This semester I am teaching a... Read more

The Christmas Story: If It Wasn’t For The Women

Last updated on: January 4, 2016 at 3:28 pm By Kimberly Peeler-Ringer

First published at The Churched Feminist Women are crucial figures in the history of Christianity. And if it wasn’t for the faith and obedience of women, the divine message of Christmas may never have been told. The way Jesus is introduced to us is different in every Gospel story. In the Gospel of Matthew, we receive an account of Jesus’ lineage, a genealogy that traces Jesus back to the patriarchs of Israel. The shortest Gospel, Mark, wastes no time and introduces...
