- By Michie
Tattoo artist, musician and entrepreneur Kat Von D has taken another public step in her evolving spiritual journey, announcing her formal entry into the Orthodox Church while choosing, for now, to stay largely silent about the details.
In a July 2 Instagram post, the 43-year-old mother of one shared that she had become Orthodox this past Pascha (Easter) and spent her recent European tour attending Orthodox liturgies, feast days, and visiting churches in several countries with her young son.
“It brings me joy to share some of the beauty of Orthodoxy within these sacred (and historic) places with you,” she wrote in the caption of a video montage. “Whether you are Orthodox Christian or not.”

‘I will be with my Maker’: Pastors suffer life-threatening wounds in ambush attack by men wielding knives, axes
- By Michie
NEW DELHI — The father of one of 20 pastors ambushed in eastern India last month was soaked in blood from the attack when he told his son, “I don’t think I will make it. I just want you to know that I will be with my Maker, and you should not worry for me.”
He then collapsed, unconscious. The 52-year-old Sukra Madi was among the Christians hospitalized due to their injuries in the attack as the pastors were returning from an event to bless farm crops in Kotamateru village, in Odisha state’s Malkangiri District, on June 21.

Christian groups file new lawsuit seeking to stop ICE operations at church properties
- By Michie
A coalition of Christian groups and others filed a new lawsuit challenging the Trump administration's policy of allowing federal agents to conduct immigration enforcement operations on the properties of churches.
The latest legal challenge was filed Monday in federal court in Massachusetts and names the U.S. Department of Homeland Security and DHS Secretary Kristi Noem as defendants.
The lawsuit argues that, because of the Trump administration greenlighting federal agents to use church properties during enforcement operations in a bid to deport immigrants who entered the country illegally, many congregations "have seen both attendance and financial giving plummet."

Pastor allegedly strangled, threatened to rape and kill wife after his alleged affair
- By Michie
A Pennsylvania pastor was evicted from his home by police after he allegedly strangled, threatened to rape and then kill his "high school sweetheart" wife during an argument over an alleged extramarital affair.
Bishop Anthony Earl Pinkney, 47, who leads Bethel Commandment Church in York, is accused of battering his wife, Kisha, so badly she lost some of her hearing during an argument inside their Springettsbury Township home on July 3, according to an affidavit of probable cause cited by Penn Live.
While the church's website still lists Pinkney as pastor, it is unclear as of Wednesday if he still holds the position. Requests for comment from the church by The Christian Post went unanswered.

I hope this works out! Wyoming, according to USNews, currently ranks 6th overall for education among states and 14th for K-12.Wyoming already has school choice, and we are currently defending a state voucher program. These are both hot national topics, but Wyoming’s desire for excellence goes far beyond simple politics. The work is not about public vs. private schools or tradition vs. innovation. Rather, it is built from the ground up, ensuring every student has access to a high-quality education, no matter where they live or how they learn. It’s a pretty simple concept, really, that requires talent, commitment, and passion, but aren’t those the characteristics of the great teachers we have had the blessing of learning from in our own histories?
Wyoming is rethinking education from the ground up
Wyoming is proving that the path to fixing education is in recognizing the dignity of teaching, the joy of learning, and the unique needs of each student.www.washingtonexaminer.com
