Sojourner Truth, d Nov 26 1883. Born into slavery, an illiterate black woman, a political activist without office, a preacher without credentials save for her penetrating and holistic vision of God’s justice, godmother of womanism and #BLM, a prophet and saint for our time.

Introducing his interview with Kyle Rittenhouse — the first since he was acquitted — @TuckerCarlson says it's "hard to ignore the yawning class divide" between Rittenhouse, 18, who worked as a janitor and cook in high school, and "his many critics in the media."
Kyle Rittenhouse, in his first interview, with @TuckerCarlson, says of prosecutors:
"If they did this to me, imagine what they could've done to a person of color who doesn't maybe have the resources I do, or [if] it's not widely publicized like my case."
@orbisbooks has always been about reading the signs of the times. As these new titles show, that means keeping hope and faith alive in the midst of all the assaults and threats we face—whether from bad politics, bad theology, white supremacy, or ecological disaster. #AARSBL2021
Enjoyed watching this inspiring and challenging documentary coming out in January about Christians who took seriously the gospel message of peace. And wonderful to see so many longtime friends interviewed. So many memories.
The Conference of Catholic Bishops in the US @USCCB puts this on Instagram. I'm pretty sure that this crypto-message is not about the protection of our planet.😳 instagram.com/p/CWdHpoqsCEz/
Marcia J Bunge has edited *Child Theology”— global perspectives (Africa, Asia, Latin America, Europe and N America), considering how understanding of doctrine, ministry, and pastoral practice might be shaped if children were placed at the center. @OrbisBooks#AARSBL2021
So glad to see @DeanKBD's brand new book, Resurrection Hope: A Future Where Black Lives Matter, arrive on my porch.
