I may have a stroke.
Someone said protests don’t belong in church and it took every ounce of self-censure within me not to say “Deborah you are literally a Protestant.”
A PROTESTant.
I assume they think Luther was nailing Bed, Bath, & Beyond coupons to the door.

I’m glad that Stanford is giving this amazing collection a new home. But I will miss the California Historical Society.

I'm stunned and disappointed to see the shuttering of yet another piece of public religious studies scholarship. #acrel #amrel #aarsbl #sblaar
After careful consideration, the American Academy of Religion has decided that Reading Religion will cease operations on May 31, 2026.
Reviews will continue through May, after which the site will become a public archive.

The Episcopal Church has put together a very impressive toolkit for protesting, including tips for clergy in particular. Truly inspiring. This is how Christians ought to be engaging the moment.

Ares has many half-siblings. The only one of note, is Ares’ half-sister Amrel. The only child shared between their father and his patron, which means Amrel is the only Numavinn child to naturally have TQoAaD's features that Aetoris' other children gain through forming their pacts.

#Tavqotd Amrel is my only ranger! Gloom stalker as the game restraints but I headcanon(or if I built her in dnd) her as a Fey Wanderer considering her heritage. Being 100% raised by Aetoris, and lacking an affinity with magic, it's only right that Amrel became a hunter from his teachings.

The anti-abortion movement’s end goal is to let doctors refuse treatment—including life-saving emergency care—for patients whom they deem to be sinful and morally impure. And under pressure from Kagan and Jackson, Erin Hawley all but admitted it. slate.com/news-and-pol...

Something to be understood about white Evangelical support for Israel right now, it definitely isn't about supporting Judaism, or Jews in Israel or the diaspora being Jewish on their own terms.
It's all about using people to bring on the apocalypse

A helpful review of a book of interest to #AfAmReligion and #AmRel scholars. I'm looking forward to reading it.
Albert Cleage Jr. spent his life advocating for all-Black economic and political organizations to build power without the distorting effects of self-hate. @kailanthropy.bsky.social writes on a new book that charts the history of his Black Christian Nationalist movement.

Albert Cleage Jr. rejected the Black American Dream to pursue something more transcendent: utopia. A new book tells the story of Black Christian Nationalism.

Ares has lots of half-siblings, but the only notable one is Amrel, his younger half-sister! During bg3 is when Amrel finds out Ares is her older half-brother, and post-bg3 and post-dealing with their father, I like to think they do get close, and Ares is a great uncle to her kids!
