"unity without multiplicity is tyranny, multiplicity without unity is fragmentation" 🙏🏼
This is one of the most powerful and beautiful images of the Trinity I have seen outside of Duns Scotus and Bonaventure.

Deconstructing evangelicalism led me to a Christ-centered ethic rooted in the radical teachings of Jesus. David Gushee's *The Moral Teachings of Jesus* offers a compelling vision of moral reasoning grounded in the radical, power-disrupting ministry of Christ. #DavidGushee #TheMoralTeachingsofJesus

Happy feast to likely my favorite philosopher & theologian—muse to my soul. He’s far too unknown and his insight could help change the unhealthy view of God as the vengeful selfish penitentiary warden who needs repayment for sin. Why he is not on TEC’s calendar, I haven’t a clue. It should change.

Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

UPS just said it cut 48,000 jobs this year.
Here’s why that matters:
💰 The company is making record profits;
📈 Its stock rose after the layoffs.
When a company calls that “savings,” it’s not efficiency — it’s putting profits way over people.

I think one of the hardest things for decent people to understand is that sometimes folks just plain enjoy cruelty. You can not reason them out of this. There is no winning them over. So long as the permission structure to be cruel is in place, they will delight in cruelty.
“They have fun while doing it, which is deeply disturbing. We expect some level of decorum from government officials,” says Phoebe, a member of Harbor Area Peace Patrols.
