Gratitude to all clergy and moral leaders who can stand with Bishop Barber and all. I will be with you in spirit and good energy to swell the power of a moral opposition.
Here is a strategy that is parallel to a resistance primary approach -- building what the Czech dissidents in Communist Czechoslovakia called a Parallel Polis - a grassroots nonpartisan approach that ultimately replaced the totalitarian regime
Powerful message. Even if you are atheist or pagan, Easter is a celebration of rebirth. It can be understood as a Christian, as the resurrection of Jesus. It also celebrates the end of the infertile winter to the fertile spring. This year Easter represents the blooming resistance to the evil of tyranny and the injustice of oppression, regardless of your faith. Happy Easter.
I have been struggling this weekend as I witness the political propaganda that has been yoked to religion, including Vance's irreverent display of "piety" at the Vatican.
Thank you for this inspiring insight and reminder.
Thank you for this beautiful and powerful post. This Agnostic is right there with you, and appreciates your voices through these very challenging times.
Because we are all overwhelmed, and are trying to keep up with the great minds and hearts writing important posts, I respectfully suggest that you start with a handful of key observations, that you then delve into more fully.
You have critical observations from such an important and regrettably rare perspective. I am rooting for your success here on Substack.
Christian Nationals have always left me with a feeling I was not Christian enough. After reading this piece by Bishop Barber and others I am relieved to know that I am on the right path to real Christianity. My Church Central Lutheran, (ELCA) here in Minneapoles MN does have the very moving Service that Bishop Barber seems to describe on Easter Saturday. It continues to reinforce my belief the Christ died for my sins and I must try my best to carry out what Christ has taught. Work for peace and justice.

There is really no problem at all anywhere. "All born will taste death." (Quran 21:35) "I will fill Hell with jinn and humans all - a multitude from every community." (Quran 32:13) "...the elements will disintegrate in flames..." (Peter 3:10-13) So who will REALLY "get away with" anything? "My Stratagem is sure." (Quran 3:54)

Everyone in America should read this...very powerful.
Thank you Rev. Barber, this is the only Easter message I could receive right now. And I’m so grateful I did.

We must all work together to abolish hate, corruption and other evil forces. If not, we are unsustainable....get in gear and Do It !!!

Great message to those of us who need to get off our pedestals of fear and ignorance. I salute your courage and the movement.

Amen. So glad you’ve found beloved community where you can celebrate and practice good news.
Amen.
Thank you. I will read and try to take into my heart the truth of these words so that I may them. May God bless all of us in these times.
I absolutely love Dr Rev Barber!🩵🩷💜
