Christian Leaders Denounce Trump and Call for Faithful Resistance

https://thedemocracyadvocate.com/2026/02/christian-leaders-denounce-trump/

I’m reading America’s Original Sin by #JimWallis for my church’s Reconciliation Book Group (#RBG ) and one sentence just jumped out at me: “Losing cultural battles was often the reason that the losers became slaves and the winners became masters.” (p. 75)

I’ve never quite understood why we can’t just let people live so long as they are not breaking our mutually agreed upon laws. Why are the “culture wars” so important to some people on the Right….and Left? Why are they “wars” at all? Why can’t immigrants maintain and celebrate traditions from the culture they were born into as well as celebrating and creating new traditions with the culture they have chosen? Why can’t the common culture of a community expand and grow to share new traditions and ideas built upon multiple cultural foundations?

It never really made sense to me.

Now, thanks to that sentence, it does. And my question becomes: How do I help others see past their fears to understand multiculturalism is not enslavement?

I worked for Christian magazine #Sojourners long ago, where #JimWallis was editor.

Today, Wallis calls the hatred of #transgender people for what it is: Antichrist.

Thank you @charlotteclymer for your courageous leadership throughout this crisis for #humanrights.
