When America Went To Hell - substack by Brian Zahnd, a Christian pastor.
A Jesus-centred Perspective on Immigration at John T Squires, a guest post by Pablo Nunez (who sounds vaguely familiar to me - he's an Australian minister, so I've probably come across his work before). Dating back to August 2025.
A Gaff And A Con - about the worldwide Anglican communion and the a decided rending of the robes over differing homosexuality and gender perspectives.
I'm not personally convinced that its particularly holy to split hairs. And yes, "Christ plus = Christ minus", which is the idea that if you gotta have 'something else' to be right with God, then Christ is not enough. Does that mean that you can just keep on sinning? Well, no and also yes, because nobody stops sinning just because they've become a Christian, but also, there are a bunch of people who are innately convinced that their marriage is godly because "he was a boy, she was a girl, could there be anything more obvious?" Never even looking at the way they see each other or relate to each other - which is (and should be) one of the most distinct indicators of godliness among Christians, as says this single, never-had-sex Christian woman.
How The iPhone Drove Men And Women Apart - NYT warning. I don't know that it's a free article (probably not), but it's largely about how we interact with other people, and pretty much that since the rise of the iPhone (and online entertainment and the 'consumer discourse' of the internet rather than the 'conversation discourse' of the internet which we here who came from LJ are more accustomed to) it's easier to just entertain yourself than to go out and deal with people in person...and how that's having a knock-on effect with young people, partnering, families, and population growth (which affects economics, political structures, and so forth).
Loving Kids Loud: Part 1 - Pornography - an article written by a woman I know from the political group I joined last year during the Aus Federal election. I haven't read it, but she posted the link in the group and so I picked up the link.
Bringing Together Pitjantjatjara Elders And Children Through Art And Storytelling
About Disability, Ministry, and the Church by Sam Wan, at the With All Due Respect project. WADR is an Australia podcast by two Christians ("evangelical") from different denominations - one female Baptist minister, one male Anglican minister. It addresses political topics and themes through interviews with Christians.
Bonhoeffer's Solution to A Church: At Bobby Gillies Substack:
Thrutopia - the idea that the oil-and-petroleume based world we live in is shortly to pass away (within our lifetime) and that we need a way to a less pollutive future.
Why Evangelicals Couldn't Care Less About Trumps Epstein Scandal - Mother Jones, August 2025
Best Holiday Recipes by How Sweet Eats
The role of 'sibyls' - Oracles of the ancient world - in older Christian traditions
A modern "Bayeux" tapestry, by a Canadian creator who deliberately put, oh, about 10 years into stitching it. Apparently it's touring around the USA, and since they're Canadian, probably some of Canada?
Whether or not slavery was the direct cause for the first shots fired upon Fort Sumter in April of 1861 is a matter of scholarly debate. What is undeniable is that the fuel that caused the American Civil War to ignite into a conflagration that resulted in 750,000 deaths was two-and-a-half centuries of slavery.

Before we speak about immigration, we need to say out loud: every single non-Indigenous person in Australia is here because of migration.

Bringing Together Pitjantjatjara Elders And Children Through Art And Storytelling
The release of Godaku Tjukurpa (God’s Story) marks the fulfilment of a long-held dream by the late Nami Kulyuru, an artist and respected Pitjantjatjara Bible translator. Nami envisioned a children’s Bible that would tell Bible stories through Anangu art, capturing the imagination of her grandchildren and other young Pitjantjatjara readers.

Bonhoeffer's Solution to A Church: At Bobby Gillies Substack:
“Cheap grace is the mortal enemy of our church.”1 Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s opening sentence in Discipleship is one of the most memorable first lines in twentieth-century theological literature.
