I hope you'll join us next week for this important conversation.

Kings Start Wars. Christians Stop Them The violence Trump has unleashed in Iran ignores what the prophets teach: War is more effective at creating orphans and widows than in delivering justice and peace.

"War kills and maims and rapes and, over the whole course of history, has proven to be far more effective at creating orphans and widows than in delivering justice and peace." sojo.net/articles/opi...

@sojo.net 's full statement on the U.S. and Israeli attacks on Iran: sojo.net/about-us/new...

President Trump’s military attack on Iran circumvents Congress’ war powers and is both reckless and immoral with enormous human and financial costs. We must say no to this escalation and call for a return to negotiations that provide a path to nuclear disarmament! www.nytimes.com/live/2026/02...

Sharing my reflections on Tuesday’s State of the Union, including President Trump’s alarming rhetoric and efforts to subvert and undermine the midterm elections. www.sojo.net/articles/opi...

What Most Concerned Me About Trump's State of the Union I was tempted to skip the president’s speech. But if I had, I would have missed something that should concern every Christian.

My thoughts on the State of the Union speech and what it means for this year’s elections: sojo.net/articles/opi...

Christian leaders denounce Trump actions, warn of 'crisis of faith' Their statement says Christians have a moral obligation to condemn the demonization of immigrants and attacks on civil rights and diversity.

I was deeply grateful to be interviewed by Marc Ramirez (@typewriterninja.bsky.social) for @usatoday.com on the sky-high stakes of this political moment and what faith leaders are saying and doing about it. www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...

This Ash Wednesday, we gathered to tell the truth, reject cruelty done in God’s name, and renew our commitment to justice and neighbor-love. ✨ We’re continuing this witness with a virtual prayer service later today. 🔗 buff.ly/jzUOTst

It was a privilege to be a part of this important conversation—I hope you’ll check it out!

Want to Love Your Neighbor? Grieve With Them Who we choose to grieve indicates who we consider to be human.

"Grief born from the acknowledgement of our neighbor’s humanity is important, but love does not end there."

Please join us for what will be a rich conversation!

In Under 500 Words, a Judge Weaponized Wit to Free the Child Detained by ICE Our critic annotates the barbed wordplay of a decision challenging the Trump administration’s theory of executive power.

Judge Fred Biery sounds like a biblical prophet in this must read order to release 5 year old Liam Conejo Ramos. Thankful for his wit and searing legal admonishment. I hope many more judges join him in putting a “judicial finger in the Constitutional dike”. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

This Nation’s Violence Is No Longer Private Once confined to prisons and wars, our worst human instincts are no longer hidden—they’re paraded on city streets.

“Everyone sees murder, and public officials call it fighting domestic terrorism. Who are they convincing?”

Not everyone can do everything—but all of us can do something. ⭐️

When we show up in different ways, big and small, together we create real change.

Choose one. Choose a few. Do what you can.
And remember: collective action is powerful.

We’re raising the moral temperature in Congress, demanding they reject any additional funding for ICE or DHS.

Speaking at the Praying with our Feet vigil as we demand that Congress reject any additional funding for ICE.

To Stop ICE Killings, More Christians Need To Tell the Truth We follow in the tradition of biblical prophets who interrupted injustice by naming the spiritual lies it feeds upon.

My latest for @sojo.net on the killings in Minneapolis and the road ahead.

To Stop ICE Killings, More Christians Need To Tell the Truth We follow in the tradition of biblical prophets who interrupted injustice by naming the spiritual lies it feeds upon.

"We must be crystal clear that the terror and tragedy we are seeing play out in Minneapolis is not just immoral; it is increasingly evil," writes @revadamtaylor.bsky.social for @sojo.net sojo.net/articles/opi...

Join us tonight!

My thoughts on the murder of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minnesota. Those being harmed and killed by ICE are all precious children of God and made on God’s image. This violence against our immigrant neighbors and against the people standing up for justice and compassion breaks God’s heart.

More from the ICE Out of Minnesota march and rally.

At today’s ICE Out of Minnesota march and rally, where the temperature of -20 degrees Fahrenheit has not dampened the turnout one bit.

Grateful to join other faith leaders for an interfaith service at Temple Israel in Minneapolis. History has its eyes on Minneapolis. People of faith and conscience are showing up with courage and love to get ICE out of Minnesota.

Here in Minnesota to stand alongside local faith leaders as they demand that ICE cease its cruel and unlawful actions and leave the community.

Tune in tonight! Maria is amazing and I'm sure this interview will be terrific.

Here in Minneapolis, hundreds of clergy from all over the country have been deployed into the streets to participate in ICE/DHS watch.

The hail from a range of religious traditions, and have come from all over.

This particular group is in a heavily immigrant neighborhood.
