I have come to think that one of the major issues in the USA (especially among white and privileged peoples) is that we want freedom, but we don’t want to take responsibility for our actions or the welfare of our neighbors (particularly the underprivileged).

Pope Francis’ letter to U.S. Bishops is incedibly powerful. This stands out to me especially. Every purported Christian faith leader who has endorsed or stood silent before Trump’s ugly immigration policies needs to be confronted with this statement. www.vatican.va/content/fran...

Jesus never called his followers to defend Christianity, a “Christian nation,” or even their Christian churches. Jesus called them to defend the poor, the oppressed, and the hurting. Stop manipulating Jesus for the benefit of a few. Get to feeding, healing, and peacemaking.

It is a balance we must always be mindful of in the Presbyterian Church to use well the structures we have in service of our mission and not serving the structures for the sake of structure. If they get in the way of our mission we must be willing to reconsider them.
