A Faith on the Fringe update, March 1, 2025
I resigned from my church the final Sunday of 2024.
I left the pulpit just before Trump took office because I realized that if law enforcement came to arrest our neighbors who replaced our roof, rather than offer sanctuary, my congregation would hold the door open. Follow the link to read more about my decision.
In this Facebook live video I talk about racism and why I stepped down from my church. (FYI: eventually Facebook will delete this video. So by April, this link may not work.)

I posted this in early February:
If you’re not loving your neighbor, if you oppose initiatives to help poor, hungry children, if you support programs and legislation that victimize others, you simply aren’t Christian.
You may be born again, baptized and sitting in church every week, but you’re praying to yourself because you’re not doing what Jesus says to do.
Jesus warns Christofascists – repeatedly – that they must take care of others, or Jesus will say, “I never knew you.” Which is only fair, because Christofascists obviously don’t know Jesus.

I’m an affiliate on Bookshop.org, where your book purchases financially support my ministry, rather than Jeff Bezos’ world domination.

I’m available to speak at your worship service, or other program, virtually or in person.
