I am legitimately curious now to see whether any other of our active practising Anglicans have been in a parish or congregation where a creed other than the Apostles' Creed or Nicene Creed has been used. At our parish, our praise service, that is the contemporary 'evangelical' service, uses a...

ICE, under the US' current Trump administration, was going to deport hundreds of Iraqi Christians who are fleeing persecution in the homelands. 'Death sentence' deportation of Iraqi Christians stayed after ACLU court action | Christian News on Christian Today

Pres. Trump's Travel Ban continues to affect the refugees who are Chaldean Catholic, Assyrian Orthodox, Sufi Muslim, Zoroastrian, and Yazidi among others. If we say we want to help persecuted people, including persecuted Christians, then we have to start by opposing these Travel Ban orders...

Please, join me, no matter which country you're from, in praying for all the residents of Puerto Rico those born there as well as those who have moved there. Sadly, but expectedly, far-right groups have been using racially charged language to be dismissive of the US citizens of Puerto Rico...
