Second Peace Communion Practicum - August 2026 xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1yKAPwayA…

📣 New on the RLC blog! Today's blog post by Bethany Dearborn Hiser (@BethanyDHiser), was written in honor of especially immigrant workers and all activists and advocates who are exhausted and burning out from the labor, toll, and moral injury of seeking to provide care and advocate for change in this current climate. A version of it was published on her Substack in May on International Workers' Day, a Global Day of Action that unites labor movements, immigrant rights advocates, and community organizations to demand labor rights, dignity, and fair treatment for all, particularly immigrant workers. This is an enlightening read! Read now: 🔗 redletterchristians.org/2026… #blogpost

RLC August Book Club: “Church Tomorrow?” with Rev. Canon Stephanie Spellers xitter.cf/i/broadcasts/1nxnRRDjN…

📣 New on the RLC blog In today's blog post, Dr. Vonnetta L. West (@vonnettalwest) invites us to keep hope alive and refuse to rest until freedom comes. "We cannot rest while children inherit violence instead of possibility. We cannot rest while poverty, racism, and every form of dehumanization continue to deny our neighbors the inheritance of dignity that God intends for them." Read more redletterchristians.org/2026…

📣 In today's blog post, @ShaneClaiborne addresses the changing climate regarding the death penalty. "There is a powerful movement working tirelessly to abolish the death penalty.... For every eight executions that have been carried out over the past 50 years, there is one person exonerated after being sentenced to death. In other words, the court reversed its decision. The state killing machine is admitting mistakes made for every nine cases tried." Read now redletterchristians.org/2026… @RNS #blogpost

📣 New on the RLC blog! Today's blog post, Bothering With Politics, excerpted from Michael J. Rhodes (@michaeljrhodes) new book, Reimagining Biblical Politics, invites readers from across the political spectrum to rediscover the startling, strange, beautiful, and often-neglected world of biblical politics. He says, "It’s time to pull up a chair and join the far grander political discussion found in Scripture, even if we bring an awful lot of baggage and a fair bit of pain to the table. It’s time to reimagine biblical politics." Read more redletterchristians.org/2026… #blogpost
