The cross is part of the mission. The imperialist occupation of the world is disrupted from within; the violence that until now has been the law is unmasked. The poor, imprisoned, and rejected Messiah descends into the darkness of death, yet in so doing He brings a new creation to light. #HolyThursday

Despite rampant polarization in our country, most Americans still believe in civil liberties and cooperation. Courageous Minnesotans are showing what happens when people work across difference to overcome division and fear. Read more: bit.ly/3LOmW6s

America’s story of religious freedom goes beyond the Pilgrims. From Jewish settlers in New York to the Haudenosaunee Confederacy, these stories shaped our pluralistic society. Read more: interfaithamerica.org/articl…

Two years after October 7, @theRevAdam reflects on grief, conscience, and the work of repair. “The suffering of Israeli and Palestinian families alike calls us to a moral reckoning—not only with the violence itself, but with how we choose to respond.” Read more: interfaithamerica.org/articl…

We share the following statement from our CEO regarding the tragic shooting of Charlie Kirk at Utah Valley University and the broader issue of political violence.
I am horrified by the deadly shooting of Charlie Kirk. I pray for his family, and all affected near and far after this heinous event at Utah Valley University. Today, I’m also reminded of the deadly political violence that targeted elected leaders and their families in Minnesota this past summer. Today’s tragedy reflects a dangerous pattern of political violence that threatens every community, and we must confront it with urgency so all people can live, learn, worship, and engage in civic debate in peace. Nearly 60 years ago, borrowing the notion of “Ahimsa” from ancient Indian wisdom, Rev. Dr. King reminded us: “Returning violence for violence multiplies violence… Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” Peace be.

Charlie Kirk was scheduled to debate a progressive influencer, Hasan Piker, at Dartmouth College on Sept. 25. On his Twitch live stream, Piker reacted to the news with horror, urging some of his followers to stop making jokes about the shooting, and he expressed fear that he could be similarly targeted. “This is a terrifying incident,” Piker said. “The reverberation of people seeking out vengeance in the aftermath of this violent, abhorrent incident is going to be genuinely worrisome.”

Farewell to Suleiman al-Obeid, the 'Palestinian Pelé'. A talent who gave hope to countless children, even in the darkest of times.

On Gaza - Everyone has long been horrified by what is unfolding in Gaza - but the blocking of humanitarian aid and now plans for a military takeover of Gaza City has taken the conflict into uncharted territory. We are not experts in the politics of the region, but we want our audience to know where we each stand. Read on U2.com: u2.com/news/title/on-gaza/

It is no secret that I have profound disagreements with Zohran Mamdani. But every Democrat — and every decent person — should speak out with moral clarity against the despicable Islamophobic attacks that have been directed at him. Demanding the deportation of an American citizen simply because he is Muslim — or simply because he holds political views different from your own — is not only bigoted. It is profoundly unAmerican. Bigotry in every form should be rejected unequivocally.
Zohran "little muhammad" Mamdani is an antisemitic, socialist, communist who will destroy the great City of New York. He needs to be DEPORTED. Which is why I am calling for him to be subject to denaturalization proceedings. Attached is my letter to @AGPamBondi.
