Why I Cannot Stay: A Letter to My Church

Grace Chin Huang
January 13, 2021
Church Life, General, Politics
There is no use pointing fingers. That is not them. That is us. We dragged Jesus—the one who died for us—into our tryst with Trump, while the church sat by with a nod and a shrug.

A Prayer Request for Tony and Update From the Campolo Family

Church Life, General
Red Letter Community, please read the letter shared by Tony's family below:  Dear Friends, On the evening of June 20 our father, Tony Campolo, had a stroke that partially paralyzed the left side of his fa...

Sheltering in place may keep us apart, but it does not have to keep us from coming together on behalf of justice.

An Open Letter to Pastor Jeffress: Fight Racial Injustice in the Spirit of Rev. Dr. King

Frederick Douglass Haynes III

#TheDeclaration should not have worked. It’s too long. It had too many drafters. But it did work, and it is working. Why? I believe it’s because the message is the anthem of our era.

Opposing white supremacy is not a partisan issue. All people of faith and conscience must commit to the deep work of justice.

We see it as government-sanctioned discrimination hiding under the guise of religion.

An Open Letter to Tennessee (and Others in America’s Heartland Who May Be Listening In)

Eric Minton

Politics
Tennessee, perhaps you should rethink your state book proposal. Because the ancient text you’ve selected doesn’t have incredibly favorable things to say about government officials who leverage religion for personal, financial, and political gain.
