In its simplest terms, the apparent demise of #USAID is the result of the world's richest man ending a program that helps millions of poor people. You don't need a Ph.D. in moral theology to see why this is an evil. You can just read Jesus's parables on the rich and the poor.

Bishop Mariann Budde gave us a masterclass in holding political leaders to account. In her sermon at the National Cathedral, she didn't prescribe policy, but proclaimed what Christians believe & called for those values to be upheld. More of this! Kaitlyn Schiess on 🎙️Holy Post 654

A Christianity that prioritizes love of nation over love of neighbor is a Christianity completely devoid of Jesus Christ.

Matthew 15:8
More than a quarter of America’s evangelical devout actually show little devotion, attending church once per year or less—a startling idea when we consider the outsize role that evangelicals have played in America’s postwar political life.

This is 100% true. Regardless of their position on student loan cancellation, I don't think most Americans understand how deeply broken our system of higher ed financing is. @econmarshall.bsky.social https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2023/07/13/opinion/politics/student-loan-payments-resume.html
Opinion | America’s Student Loans Were Never Going to Be Repaid
During the pandemic, the U.S. paused regular payments for student loans. But repayment was dwindling for at least a decade before that.
