I was glad for the shift of liturgical colors to white on All Saints Sunday as an occasion for wearing the white stole with gold and purple Celtic crosses that was a gift from the Student Advisory Leadership Team at Campbell University Divinity School when I served on its faculty.

On this All Saints Sunday, I commend to you Brandi Carlile performing her song “Church & State” last night on SNL—reciting a snippet from Thomas Jefferson’s “Letter to the Danbury Baptists” (and playing a Les Paul!). youtu.be/XVSqAEJO9e0

We're grateful to Dr. Jay Augustine for joining our Theological Integration Capstone Seminar this evening at Gardner-Webb University School of Divinity at the end of a day of travel to share his wisdom about leading churches to address issues of social justice in the midst of polarization.

Pete Enns begins the first of his Mary Washburn Wilson lectures at Gardner-Webb University School of Divinity. There’s still time to catch his 1:00 lecture if you’re not here for this one.

I just realized that today’s release of my new book Encountering Pope Leo XIV: Baptist Reflections on the Beginning of a Pontificate is exactly six months after the death of Pope Francis on April 21 – the event that began the story I tell in this book.

Should this story receive greater public attention than seems to be the case? wapo.st/4qoSuzi

Rubio promised to betray U.S. informants to get Trump’s El Salvador prison deal

To secure U.S. access to President Nayib Bukele’s notorious CECOT prison, Rubio agreed to turn over several MS-13 leaders central to a long-running Justice Department investigation.
