Queers in the Kingdom

Queers in the Kingdom

This brief story spells it all out and quotes spokespeople from Wheaton College, Azusa Pacific, Calvin, Westminster Theological Seminary + Council of Xtian Colleges & Universities. The take-away? If you are receiving federal funding (as they all are) you should NOT be discriminating in any way against LGBTQ people. Oh for the Obama era . . .

One of Us

Now out on Netflix, "One of Us" https://www.facebook.com/oneofusmovie2017/ which, like "Born Again" (watch on Amazon!) tells the story of leaving religion. The religion is more extreme but the themes are the same: a slow journey toward "self", the greatest of sins.

A documentary film that looks at the cloistered Hasidic community of New York focusing mainly on three individuals seeking to exit the community.

Watch Born Again online - Prime Video

On its 10-year anniversary, "Born Again" is as relevant as ever, sadly. Now available on Amazon!

"Born Again" is a coming-of-age story chronicling Markie Hancock's struggle to leave her family and faith (evangelical Christianity) to find herself. After a 20-year struggle she emerges from the strong grip of fundamentalist religion and sees the divide not just in her family but also in the nation...

Trump at Liberty University commencement: ‘In America, we don’t worship government; we worship God’

This is exactly what happens when state + religion collude. Religion provides cover for dangerous despots. Always.
