The Trump administration is once again targeting and isolating children in its anti-immigration campaign, this time seeking to expedite the removal of thousands of unaccompanied children.

No safe spaces, no sacred places
Executive orders now say immigration officers can arrest migrants at schools and churches. The violation of the church or a school as a sanctuary is an anti-Christian act. If this administration claims Christianity, then why is everything it does opposed to everything Jesus is?

Pastoral Ministry: A Weighty Calling
The Christian pastor holds the greatest office of human responsibility in all creation. He is called to preach the word; teach the truth to God’s people; lead God’s people in worship; tend to the flock as a caring shepherd; and mobilise the church for Christian witness and service.

Dramatic changes in early childhood centers affect churches too
Many of the nation’s early learning and child-care systems have reached a critical turning point as revenues decline, wages stagnate and families are priced out of options, experts in the field say.... Early learning and child care centers operated by churches also have felt the brunt of the downward trend.
Opinion: Once kids start dying, we’ll see how people really feel about immunization mandates
In America, we usually rally together to protect our own. But this anti-vaxxer movement is putting all of our children at risk. Children are already dying, and those numbers are only going to get exponentially worse. When it’s your child that either dies or causes another child to die, your eyes tend to open quickly to the scam of “anti-vaxxer movement” — a movement started by charlatan scammers that unfortunately (and understandably) has ensnared many devout and loving parents.
Reap What You Sow: The Biblical Principle
The age-old adage “Reap what you sow” is biblical principle that resonates across cultures, philosophies, and belief systems.

Understanding this principle can empower us to make wiser choices that align with the future we desire.
Can Fresh Expressions rescue the lonely?
A new book by a United Methodist leader promotes the Fresh Expressions movement as a balm for an epidemic of loneliness. Fresh Expressions is a movement to get the church to switch roles and become a flexible guest instead of a stationary host.
