News of Delores Huerta coming forward at the ages of 95 years old about Cesar Chavez is devastating. Dr Hilary Scarsella, an expert in religion, trauma & sexual violence, discusses how we can create audacious communities of safety. I found it healing & inspiring: podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/i...

Apocalyptic lust for the destruction of one’s enemies, and the desire for the end of the world, are not the way of Christ. open.substack.com/pub/jarrodmc...

Did you know that in 2022 the World Bank reclassified Gaza and the West Bank as an Upper Middle Income Country? Obviously that status has been lost now. But you learn something new every day #themoreyouknow

A quote I wrote down from @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social in the episode: “It is standing with Christ as he stands with those who are scapegoated and oppressed and marginalized and on the receiving end of injustice with their backs against the wall; it is in that position that we gain enemies,

So, @jarrodmckenna.bsky.social calls Making It Plain a "nonviolent messianic-cocktail". It's an urgent and necessary book for our times. Order wherever books are sold: Herald Press: heraldpress.com/978151381636... Amazon: a.co/d/5AshOrU

The sanctuary movement is the new Underground Railroad. If our baptism is not to be emptied of its power we are obligated to help the refugee find freedom.

With the election looming, the annual Palm Sunday rally for refugees in 3 weeks is a crucial opportunity to show support for people seeking asylum.

Banner for Palm Sunday Rally with the text: "SAY YES TO REFUGEES

Just landed back in North America after an impactful week in Bolivia to see the book marked a #1 bestseller on Amazon Canada. So grateful, Canadian friends! So unreal for a first time author from an under-represented community in Christian publishing. 🙏🏽🇨🇦

Lord have mercy. Sometimes our moral moments are the weeds and wheat comes from our failures.

Limited empathy is preyed upon by fascists who want empathy to stop at ethnic or national boarders so to be weaponised against an “other”. Empathy is not only why we care, it can be abused to become why we don’t care for those outside our limited “own”. www.patreon.com/posts/124912...

Those who think empathy is the enemy of the spiritual journey know nothing of the mystics, the saints, and the heart of GOD revealed in Jesus of Nazareth.

Situating our lives in the struggle for justice with the oppressed is the context of Jesus' command to love our enemies. Stand with the oppressed, and you will have enemies.

This is your daily reminder that not only is empathy *not* a sin, that according to Jesus, MERCY - (that is, compassionate empathy in action on behalf of others) is God’s holiness and nature. So, be compassionate, as the GOD revealed in Jesus is compassionate. (Luke 6:36)
