I don't think I'd still identify as Christian if it weren't for the witness of the Black church And I'm almost certain I wouldn't identify as Reformed without the work and life of Allan Boesak

You absolutely must read @devintoshea.bsky.social's piece on the St. Louis tornado: "Friday’s tornado created a chance for St. Louis to distinguish itself from other cities...It is police and drywall, or aid and brick."

And of course, this will be touted as more evidence of antisemitism instead of the tragic but inevitable consequence of the genocide being enacted against the Palestinian people

If you love presidential politics, religious studies, and 1990s baseball, you have to read Chris Birkett's "Bill Clinton at the Church of Baseball" Check out my review for the Journal of Sport History here: muse.jhu.edu/pub/34/artic...

Douthat: You just met with Pope Leo XIV, the first American pope. So what did you talk about? Vance: Well, I want to be respectful of the private conversation we had. Hmm, what a polite way to say, "He chewed my ass out, and I don't want to talk about it." www.nytimes.com/2025/05/21/o...

"Trump's instinct, of course, is to shout and to bully and to threaten...It's childish from one point of view, but even children, if they put their mind to it, can cause great damage." No one better to listen to than Allan Boesak on Trump and South Africa www.youtube.com/watch?v=HRP0...

I don't understand using the phrase "deeply concerning" in these contexts It's not deeply concerning, it's outrageous and utterly disqualifying Why bother with understatement? What advantage is there to pulling punches?
