Rather than be angered by all the “Breaking News” related to the incoming administration, I decided to do what I do as a scholar. I dusted off my blog and added what I hope to be the first of many opinion pieces.

Out today is also "Falling in Love With Nature" by Amanda J. Baugh. Exploring the contours of Latinx Catholic environmentalism, Baugh challenges readers on their assumptions of what conservation is and who can be an environmental leader.

As a person of deep faith, with profound respect for all faith traditions and for those without one, I don't want to live in a theocracy. I don't want to live in a nation where one particular interpretation of faith is state-ordained, either in word or practice.

In 1968 Elijah Muhammad self-financed the 60+ members of the Georgia Loyalist Party to attend the DNC in Chicago. This is a rather fascinating story given his opposition to participating in electoral politics. More later. #writing #blackreligion
