On Good Friday, Abolish the Death Penalty

Last updated on: April 14, 2017 at 10:14 am By Lindsey Paris-Lopez

A day after celebrating Jesus’s glorious triumph over death, the state of Arkansas is set to crucify him all over again. We never stop killing Jesus, not really. Guns and missiles and bombs obliterate living image-bearers of God on a daily basis. From famines in Yemen to poisonous water in Flint, people are dying from disasters we could mitigate if we invested in the will and resources to nurture life rather than wield death. Whatever we do to or fail... Read more

Washing Judas’ Feet

Last updated on: April 13, 2017 at 5:16 pm By Adam Ericksen

NT Wright has a very helpful way of explaining the Atonement. He states that, “When Jesus wanted to explain to his followers what his death would mean he didn’t give them a theory, he gave them a meal on one hand and a dramatic action on the other.” Today is Maundy Thursday, the day when we remember that meal and the dramatic action Jesus shared with his disciples. “Maundy” comes from the Latin word mandatum, which means mandate. The mandate... Read more

Syria’s Beautiful Babies: How to Confront Trump’s Hypocrisy

Last updated on: April 11, 2017 at 1:41 pm By Adam Ericksen

Donald Trump changed his mind on Syria after the sarin gas attack last Tuesday. The attack killed 70 people, including 10 children. Syrian President Bashar al-Assad denies using the chemical weapons and blames rebel forces. Trump blames Assad. Russia asserts they had no planes in the area, so Putin isn’t responsible for the gas airstrikes that killed 70 civilians. The geo-political crisis is escalating as accusations fly. Trump moved away from his “America First” isolationism and bombed Syrian air fields.... Read more

Mimetic Theory Leads To Better Theology and Peace: A Conversation with Sue Wright

Last updated on: March 31, 2017 at 11:57 am By Adam Ericksen

There will be no justice until the weakest members of our society are cared for, are able to have a life free of hunger and poverty, when we welcome the stranger, and when we clothe the widow and orphan. Until we start to care for all members of our society, none of us are safe. None of us will ever experience lasting peace. -Susan Wright, President of Theology and Peace In the latest episode of the RavenCast, I talked... Read more
