This class starts where all of Dom's work begins: with the real conditions of first-century Galilee, where Herod Antipas' commercialization of the lake created the crisis context for Jesus' radical vision of God's Rule proclaimed through parables.

It’s odd that the religious right is so upset about a halftime show that celebrated marriage, love, community, small business, hard work, and family. 🤔

Well put. This is a solution in search of a nonexistent problem, all to make it far harder for millions to vote. That's vote suppression, folks.

Well, they are not going to do it; certainly not in this vicinity
I do not even know in this congregation whether anybody has been tempted to be a Fundamentalist. Never in this church have I caught one accent of intolerance. God keep us always so & ever-increasing areas of the Christian fellowship.

DHS subpoenaed Google to identify Instagram users who posted about ICE raids. They didn't need an order from a judge or grand jury, because they can issue an administrative subpoena and approve it themselves.
It took legal action to stop them.
