Today is the one-year anniversary of the martyrdom of Anas Al-Sharif, a 28-year-old Palestinian journalist who grew up in a refugee camp and committed his life to tell “the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification.” Because of this bold commitment, he was murdered by an IDF missile (probably made in America). In his … Continue reading I Entrust You With Palestine
An urgent message from Rev. Dr. Edgar Rivera-Colon. Re-posted from social media. I would pay close attention to this transparent warning to all progressive and left forces that the Trump regime published as a press release yesterday. I assume further arrests and violent repression in the run up to the midterms and more intensely during … Continue reading Pay Close Attention
This is what journalist and professor Dr. Stacey Patton wrote on the Fourth of July. I was curious to see what Heather Cox Richardson would write about today. Not surprisingly, she is doing the classic liberal historian move, which is trying to rescue America’s founding by treating slavery, Indigenous dispossession, and women’s exclusion as tragic … Continue reading One of its Founding Habits
By Dr. Charisse Burden-Stelly, aka “Dr. CBS,” re-posted from her Substack newsletter. This month, in the lead-up to the celebration of 250 years of “independence,” Dr. CBS has been posting excerpts from a revolutionary thinker from the Black radical tradition every single day.

A month ago, we had a lectionary passage from Genesis about humans being given “dominion” over the animals and plants of the planet. … Continue reading Offering Cultures, Sacrifice…

Radical Discipleship: Elaine, I cannot believe it has been five years since you published Healing Haunted Histories: A Settler Discipleship of Decolonization. I continue to hear from friends and comrades who rave about your book. Just last week, in … Continue reading…
A new online course offering from The Alternative Seminary. Tuesday evenings, July 7-28 (7:00 – 9:00 p.m). The Southern writer Flannery O’Connor once offered a wry variation on a theme of Jesus: “You shall know the truth and the truth shall make you odd.” Her fiction, set in her rural Southern culture, is a world of … Continue reading The Madness of Grace in a Fallen World
From Nerdeen Kiswani, a Palestinian Muslim and founder of Within Our Lifetime. Re-posted from social media. The U.S. left really does not understand the damage it is doing to the Palestinian liberation struggle. No serious Palestinian engaged in the struggle for liberation, whether in Palestine or in exile, would ever condemn or denounce the right … Continue reading Always Conditional
The Interfaith Action for Palestine (IAP) is bringing together a coalition of faith-rooted activist organizations for a critical intervention this summer: we’re coming together to counter Christians United for Israel (CUFI) — the largest “pro-Israel” organization in the United States — during their Annual Summit July 5-7, 2026. For more information and to register, click … Continue reading…
By Tommy Airey, re-posted from his Substack newsletter. Charles Cha and I joke that we were evangelical Christians before it was cool. In the early 90’s, we attended a bible study for high school students sponsored by Campus Crusade for Christ. It was basically a training camp for evangelizing students, teachers, administrators and coaches at … Continue reading post-evangelical
