As a Church, all of us need to be healed fom the temptation of choosing to defend the institution rather than seeking the truth. With God's help, let us contribute to the building up of a Mother Church that is pleasing to Him. #IndigenousPeoples #Canada

Jesus: Pray in private. US evangelicals: Pray in school, got it.
SCHOOL STAFFS: We need more teachers and counselors, mental health resources, and a school psychologist. Counselors should have smaller case loads and teachers should have smaller class sizes so they can actually get to know their students. GOP: So guns it is!
Religion matters. “…religious contexts of our seemingly eternal problem with gun violence — its history, its theology, its myths — are too important to ignore.” Thanks @plmanseau nytimes.com/2022/06/23/opi…
Once you say “It must be nice to have the summer off” to an educator or administrator—you’ve lost all credibility and are only revealing that you have no idea what teachers and administrators actually do.
We are an online community pursuing a more expansive & liberating vision of Christian faith. We believe God’s beloved community includes everyone regardless of race/color/sex/age/sexual orientation/gender identity &/or expression and any other category of human difference [5/5]
Space is limited; register early to ensure you are able to join the group you are interested in. Cohort registration closes August 15, 2022. Scholarships are available! Learn more: faithjustice.net/fellowship/ [4/5]
The F+J Fellowship is a 9-month program (Sept '22-May '23). Each cohort will meet 2x/month & follow the monthly programming of the F+J Network as their core curriculum, while using specially selected themes as a lens for interpretation and application. [3/5]
How might educators embrace new perspectives & partnerships to foster belonging w/students & families for whom the classroom is not yet a beloved community? [2/5]
[Day 9: F+J Cohort Preview] ✨Education and Belonging✨ w/@brianjcropper: This group is open to educators broadly conceived: (past/present/future) teachers, admins, counselors; anyone interested in using education as a site for theological reflection. [1/5]

Among men born between 1980 and 1984, who would have been between 38 and 42 in 2022: 30% of them had never been married and have no children. Among women in the same cohort, it was 17%. Among 28-32 year old men in 2022, half of them had never been married and no children.

Materialism has never made any progress in explaining how consciousness could emerge from the physicalism world; panpsychism has satisfactorily explained how the physical world could emerge from consciousness; dualism is unparsimonious; therefore, panpsychism.
Curious about something--do you have a firmly settled ontological view (e.g., substance dualism, eliminative materialism, panpsychism...) and if so, what got you to settle for this view? I personally don't, but I see so many people who do, I'm curious.

Khalil, while I have respect for some of your academic efforts, I want to point out your semi contradiction: In the next 2 tweets you acknowledge that the Caliph, Sayyiduna Umar, did enforce a dress code. Even if we debate on what it meant, it doesn't change that fact.
