Facing Down a Crusade

“…Trumpism is a thoroughly religious movement”, David French wrote in a November 16 op-ed in the New York Times. A self-described evangelical Christian, French went on to say that since Trumpism is a religious phenomenon, it requires a religious answer. I agree. And...

Gratitude: The Foundation of Thanksgiving

A national day of Thanksgiving was first declared by President Abraham Lincoln in 1863, to be observed at the end of the harvest season, in late November. Over the decades the date moved around several times, and in 1942 President Franklin Roosevelt issued a...

Hope: An Antidote to Getting Hooked

The Need to Put on a Life-Giving Mask

As an airplane taxis toward takeoff, I invariably treat the mandatory instruction from the flight attendant as annoying background noise: “Make sure you put your own oxygen mask on before assisting others”. Most of us don’t pay any attention, because we figure such a...

Responding to Those Who are Itching for a Fight

A vivid memory burst into my consciousness a few days ago, which has, for me, a direct connection to the recent deployment of the National Guard in several US cities.Several years ago I was sitting at the old Yankee Stadium, attending a Red Sox-Yankee game. My friends...

Building Bridges Across Difference and Discord

While at a national Bridging Movement Summit held at George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate last week, I heard a number that lifted my heart. I learned that there are over 11,000 groups working in America to bridge divides and strengthen democracy. ...
