The daily rash of children being abused, the surging tide of mental illness, senseless killings, all thugs at my emotions. As a Christian and theologian, I question the [...]

I recently visited my mother’s side of the family in Rhode Island. Unlike my father’s side, my maternal family is not your usual white, American Protestant family. For example, while having tea after dinner, my grandparents lectured to my mom about communism, and how authoritarianism is why, sometimes, it goes in the wrong direction. My [...]

I’m weary of Jesus talk. In the black church we say “don’t talk the talk if you can’t walk the walk.” You have to be sixteen to drive a car and twenty-one to drink a beer but you can talk about Jesus all you want and no one will call you on it as you [...]

I should begin by saying that I am both a vegan and a Christian. There are compelling reasons to be both.
