In building bridges, we who are relatively secure may face the temptation to build bridges within comfortable parameters, spiritual gated communities. Read more

If what we've been told is true, we find God in the darkness, and in beauty also. Cohen gave us both of those, because beauty and darkness need one another. And he gave us a way to hear the things said, that we didn't know how to say Read more

are you affiliated with an organization that helps women and families directly? the new pro life movement would like to promote it

Last updated on: November 11, 2016 at 12:10 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Over at the New Pro Life Movement (NPLM), we’ve been talking a bit about how to move forward with our vision of creating a truly prolife culture. It’s a grand vision, and a daunting one, because the history of humanity shows that we have always been violent, and that every civilization has worshiped power while turning a blind eye to injustice. IN case you are not familiar with our movement, it stands as an alternative to the mainstream movement that... Read more

why I don’t toe the line: pacifism and the hypocrisy of “religious liberty” rhetoric

Last updated on: November 10, 2016 at 12:44 pm By Guest Contributor

Where the hell was the defense of religious liberty for my Church of Christ forbears who preached -- as did Jesus -- that we should love our enemies even if it kills us? Why did everyone else think it was OK not only to betray this ethic, but to stand by and allow those who preached it to be imprisoned because it "might hinder military recruitment"? Read more

update: it seems “prolife” was never on trump’s policy page to begin with

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 4:00 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

Earlier today several of us here at Patheos wrote about the possibility that Trump had cut all mention of abortion or defense of life from his official policy page, based on several eyewitness accounts. While several individuals have said they remember seeing a button for abortion and life issues, originally, on Trump’s policy page, it now seems likely that what they remembered seeing was a press release. All press releases have been removed from the Trump website, and what remains... Read more

did trump just remove “prolife” from his policies website?

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 3:34 pm By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

I stated all along that Trump was a liar, but his supporters took him at his every word, except for when he boasted about sexually assaulting women: then, they said, he was just kidding, exaggerating. Read more

I reject the false unity of exclusion and supremacy

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 11:33 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

The unity that comes only by excluding all those who don't fit in is not the universality of the Church Christ founded. It's the unity of the privileged in their isolated little bubble; it's the ideal of racial supremacy and eugenics - which is what Trump has been about all along. Read more

four quotations from dorothy day, on her birthday, to inspire our revolution

Last updated on: November 9, 2016 at 11:15 am By Rebecca Bratten Weiss

What revolution are you seeking? Whom are you trying to overthrow? Whatever evils or injustices you hate in the world, voting to stop them will never suffice. The revolution must be within the heart, as you turn inward and see within yourself your complicity with this injustice, your tacit acceptance of evil when it suits your ends. Read more

No, in this case, these images serve to harm the other victims in the picture: women. Women who have suffered repeated miscarriages, who have had to bury their own premature or stillborn children, find these images triggering. Read more
