We can’t pretend the pulpit isn’t affected by systemic sins outside our doors. Whether clergy, laity, ally, or skeptical — here’s an invitation to wrestle with loss, privilege, power, and our own complicity.

#JamesDobson told America how to raise its kids. For queer children, it felt like a death sentence. His 'family values' weren’t love—they were fear. I wrote about the wound he left, and how we heal. #LGBTQIA #JamesDobson #FocusOnTheFamily @fedora76.bsky.social @revfatherjcw.bsky.social
