"I am neither an optimist nor a pessimist. Jesus Christ is risen from the dead." (Leslie Newbigin)
Minister of Word/Sacrament @crcna. Teacher at a theological school in Kenya.
Often getting the meaning of a Biblical text clear in my own mind, so that I can make it clear to the minds of others, involves me doing a lot of work and creating what would look like a terrible mess to those others...

1/4. On the White House’s theory, if they abduct you, get you on a helicopter, get to international waters, shoot you in the head, and drop your corpse into the ocean, that is legal, because it is the conduct of foreign affairs.

Had the opportunity to go to #Thailand. These are my people. Either they are just discovering the grunge era + hard rock of the 90's or they have been rightly celebrating it ever since.

I go to a restaurant: #Nirvana and #Evanescence. At the hardware store: #StoneTemplePilots and #LinkinPark 👍

Out of respect for the legacy of Jimmy Carter, I think it only appropriate that the Trump Presidency be canceled.
From the Pope to various Jewish groups to several Protestant faith figures, leaders across the religious spectrum are lauding Jimmy Carter.

One Baptist leader praised how Carter urged believers to "join Jesus in bringing good news (and) freedom for the oppressed."
