It is a great honor and pleasure to welcome John Deasy, former president of the Family Foundation and current principle at Cambiar Education, to Sojourners' Board of Directors!

Lifting up fervent prayers and support today for all the victims of Oct 7, all those who are still held hostage, and all the victims of the horrific war in Gaza. As we mourn and remember those we’ve lost let us redouble our commitment to ending the war and pave the way toward a sustainable peace.

I preview the article here:

"If we follow the example of our South African siblings, we in the U.S. need to articulate a prophetic theology that refuses to be neutral or apolitical, and is committed to explicitly naming and condemning the powers that prohibit justice."
My latest for @sojo.net:

Rev. Moya Harris, stood alongside Creation Justice Ministries and other national faith partners to call for bold climate action and justice.

May we continue to stand with the prophetic harmony crying out: “Restore. Renew. Reimagine” 🌏

"What those artists did, ultimately, even if unwittingly, was provide cultural legitimacy to, and warmup for, an event in which Jesus’ name was certainly uttered a lot...but this Jesus was ultimately subservient to Trump’s America." sojo.net/articles/opi...

Sojourners has been countering false narratives and shining a light on truth for more than 50 years, and we are not stopping now. But without continuing financial support, the mission we strive for is at risk. Chip in and help support our work at a critical moment: give.sojo.net/page/88365/d...

This whole thread is important. Outrageous and incredibly harmful decision by the administration.

It was moving to see Erika Kirk forgive her husband’s killer because “that is what Christ would do” and say we cannot meet hate with more hate. In stark contrast, President Trump disagreed saying “he hates his opponents”. I pray that our nation and TP embraces her witness and not Trump’s.

We’re humbled and beyond grateful to @ricksteves.bsky.social for his continued support. Thank you Rick!

I wrote for @sojo.net this week on the need for a surge of solidarity for our immigrant neighbors. Read my column at sojo.net/articles/opi...

Thanks to @rns.org for the opportunity to write about Johnson Amendment protections for faith communities and non-profit organizations. I appreciated the chance to give my perspective both as president of @sojo.net and board chair of @independentsector.bsky.social. religionnews.com/2025/09/17/w...

My prayers are lifted for the family and loved ones of Charlie Kirk. Violence has no place in our body politic. As much as we can and will disagree politically, we must find a way to end this vicious, heartbreaking cycle of gun violence www.nytimes.com/live/2025/09...

"If Christians are honest with themselves about the gospel message of Jesus, they should know that protesting can be a holy act of righteousness." sojo.net/articles/jes...

"I didn’t expect church to be the place where I learned 803Fresh’s 'Boots on the Ground,' the latest line dance taking the nation by storm." sojo.net/articles/cul...

Grateful for the opportunity to participate in a liturgy of repentance today led by Creation Justice Ministries to kick off the Season of Creation, a series of prayer and ritual gatherings.

Always great to catch up with Chauncey DeVega of
@salon.com. I recently had the chance to connect with him about Trump's recent fixation on getting into heaven. Chauncey's full piece is here: www.salon.com/2025/08/28/w...

I'm heartbroken at the reports now emerging from Minnesota about the shooting at a Catholic school. It is long overdue for our country to do better by our kids by changing the laws that make deadly weapons so plentiful and available. We must never allow atrocities like this to become normalized.

If you in or around the DC area, please come join us tonight as we pray and bear witness against the federal overreach in our community.
