For us he prayed
For us he taught
For us his daily works he wrought
By words and signs
and actions thus
still seeking not himself, but us.

A while back I asked folks why they’re joining Bluesky and the most common response I saw was, “I just want a good place to get my news” and, yall, no. Bad.

I'm very glad that Bishop Marianne Budde used the pulpit to challenge and rebuke Trump.

I figured she'd rise to the moment. And she did.

And yet, the moment didn't need to happen.

Somethings are both-ands.

Wow. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde fearlessly calls out Trump and Vance to their faces. This is heroic.

A paper that understands its responsibility, in a country that knows it when it sees it.

Impressive from Die Zeit. Refuses to show the salute, but calls it out for what it so obviously was.

Please read this thread; it's full of hope and energy.
Over 50% of nonviolent movements to overthrow governments are successful within one year of their peak.

The key is to engage over 3.5% of the country, a cross-section of society—clergy, kids, grandmas, teachers) using DIVERSE & CREATIVE tactics, with women in leadership.

We can do this.

Christians are to persuade by love, witness, Spirit, reason, rhetoric, and, if need be, by martyrdom; but never by force.

The church does not need, should not have, and must not covet the sword of Caesar.
