“Separation of Church and State” - I don’t think you know what that means. Like humanists and atheists the people of every faith actually can and will hold their elected officials accountable for their actions and lack of actions.
Echoing contemplative clarity and moral urgency, Doyle invites readers to develop a personal rule of life: a rhythm of prayer, rest, Sabbath, fasting, and contemplation.

In a world filled with push notifications and algorithmic anxieties, Doyle frames spiritual resistance not as a culture war, but as cultivation—a recovery of the ancient Christian insight that our bodies, our relationships, and our attention are sacred terrain.

Silence protects the system.
Truth opens the way to justice.
Let’s not deny the harm—let’s repair it.

Fixing it requires:
– Admitting it happens
– Strengthening due process
– Improving oversight
– Valuing the dignity of every person, citizen or not

Why does it happen?
– ICE training contradicts policy
– Data systems are flawed
– Officers aren’t always supervised
– Human error goes unchecked

Case 2: A 2-year-old U.S. citizen was deported to Honduras with her mother.
A federal judge later called it unconstitutional and a violation of due process.

Case 1: Kilmar Abrego Garcia—a U.S. legal resident—was deported to El Salvador.
The Supreme Court later ruled the government had to bring him back.

The Government Accountability Office (GAO) reported that at least 70 U.S. citizens were likely deported between 2015–2020.
That’s not speculation—it’s on record.

Yes, U.S. citizens have been deported—despite what some claim.
This isn’t theory. It’s happened. And it’s been acknowledged by courts and Congress.

Yet again, I’m running out of ways to explain how bad this is.

15/ Let them hear: Christ is Lord. Let them see: the Church stands with dignity, justice, and love—for all. #ChristianWitness #FaithOverFear
14/ Our pulpits must not echo parties. Let them echo the Gospel. The people will look to you this Sunday. #ChristAloneIsLord #ChurchInThePublicSquare
13/ 5. Church, Be Courageous
The Barmen Church risked all to declare Christ alone is Lord. We must be ready to do the same. #BarmenDeclaration #ChristianCourage
12/ Using force against civilians or deporting the innocent violates the Gospel. We must not be silent. #FaithInAction #BonhoefferMoment
11/ 4. Stand With the Vulnerable
God stands with the oppressed. So must we. #StandWithTheOppressed #GospelAndJustice
10/ Our faith calls us to prophetic engagement, not apathy. In love, justice, and courage. #PropheticFaith #FaithOverFear
9/ 3. Convivial Christian Citizenship
I remind us: we are Christians before citizens. Allegiance to God first. #ChristianCitizenship #ChurchAndState
8/ Deporting citizens, silencing dissent, toppling elected leadership—this is not righteousness. It is sin. #DeportationJustice #MoralReckoning
