An extraordinary book about the calling and the cost of peacemaking. @OrbisBooks orbisbooks.com/jfk-and-the-u…
Thank YOU for publishing the best book on the JFK assassination (and on who JFK really was and what we lost): JFK and the Unspeakable!
I hope you'll read my book on the RFK case. Douglass blurbed it with high praise!

As she was dying, my friend Daria urged me not to overlook “everyday saints,” —“saint mothers saint fathers” who find God amidst “noise joy distraction.” I alway remember her on this day. @GiveUsThisDayLP

Dorothy Day: “One of the greatest evils of the day...is the sense of futility. Young people say, ‘What good can one person do? What is the sense of our small effort?’ They cannot see that we must lay one brick at a time, take one step at a time...

“All it takes is one good person to restore hope!”—Pope Francis, Laudato Si’ (71)
This is 15 year old Greta Thunberg in August 2018. She skipped school to protest outside of Swedish Parliament. She was a protest of one.
In 1 year she’s changed the whole world & it’s conversation on Climate Change.
Never underestimate the power of one person.

St Martin I (d 655) was the last pope venerated as a martyr. He was deposed by the emperor and died in exile in Crimea. Aside from gout and dysentary he suffered from the sense that he had been forgotten by the church in Rome. After his death he was quickly acclaimed as a saint.

Okay. The UTS plant liturgy.
Some may know I wrote my dissertation (at Union, no less!) on biblical ecocriticism--looking at biblical texts through the lens of ecology.
And I confess, this type of liturgy makes me profoundly uncomfortable . . .

Incredible how much heat was generated and the assumptions that were made about a school and its students all because of an unskillfully worded tweet.

Twitter got excited about this today. Here is a take that doesn’t fit in 280 characters. Union Seminary students confess to plants. How do we think about sins against nature? - The Washington Post washingtonpost.com/religion/…
