Attempts to remove and censor reading material in libraries has spiked in recent years and censors often claim that they are speaking for people of faith. But they do not represent the majority of Americans from our diverse religious communities. Join the Interfaith Alliance and Unite Against Book Bans to learn why book bans threaten religious freedom and how faith communities and library workers can come together to advocate for the right to read. You’ll hear from both faith leaders and library leaders and walk away with new tools and information to organize together. More information and to register.
Today we posted on our Facebook page that we officially launched this website. We will eventually have a form for individuals to provide comments and suggestions. The website is a work in progress, so in time more features will be added and more content will be added. Thanks for your patience.
Karen Tolkkinen is a contributor for the Star Tribune and she wrote about her experiences using food assistance on October 25. It was no surprise to read that many wrote that folks in need should “get a job.” For more responses, see Letters from Leo, a Substack post on people “cheering” food assistance cuts. I’m pointing these posts out because as Christians trying to counter the message of Christian Nationalism, I’d like to point to today’s Gospel reading, Luke 6:20-31. “Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God…”” A lesser known version of the Beatitudes, but same concepts. He continues with “Love your enemies” and if you continue on beyond today’s Gospel, you can read, “Do not judge and you will not be judged…” With the uncertainty around whether SNAP will be reinstated, there are many who are in need of food assistance in our state and food shelves could really use your help. If you yourself are not in need of food assistance and can contribute even a small amount, here’s some things food shelves are in need of, and if contributing cans, please consider cans with pull tops:
In the practice of loving your neighbor, please consider if you are able to provide some food assistance to those in need.
In The False White Gospel by Jim Wallis his third chapter focuses on voting rights. He concludes the chapter by writing, “And if we have value we ought to have a voice. And the way to have a voice is to have a vote to determine the direction of your country and your destiny within in it.” [p.92] He also included Senator Ralph Warnock’s belief that “a vote is a kind of prayer for the world we desire for ourselves and our children.” [p.91]. Please remember to vote on Tuesday, November 4 if you have not voted already. And especially think of the children if there is a school board election in your district.
Happy Halloween and happy fall! .
. In case you missed this previously, there is an NPR Session on “Progressive Christians Counter Christian Nationalism Message” on All Things Considered, October 22, 2025. It includes comments by Amanda Tyler.
We will be holding a Zoom meeting for all interested members on Tuesday, November 18. More details will be coming soon.
