Keep going, folks. We need to rock the boat in our society and churches! So many colleagues in the museum field have lost their positions and called a drag on society. The Church will be blamed for this in the future.
Diana mentioned the scrubbing of Pauli Murray from the National Parks website. With no difficulty I found her page (there are actually more than one), and the articles mention her sexuality, gender issues and civil rights activism. So not sure of the accuracy of the claim she has been scrubbed. Here is the link to one page: https://www.nps.gov/places/pauli-murray-family-home.htm. I have checked on other claims of things being scrubbed and found them not to be accurate. I agree that terrible things are happening with the revision of history, but it doesn’t help the cause if our claims are not accurate.
Hey a pastor here in the Pacific Northwest. I’m really intrigued by the idea of churches buying up banned books. I probably have my own ideas of good ones, but could you all point me in the direction of how to build this list or who might be tracking? Maybe this can be crowdsourced.
that is RIGHT! Call sin sin! they have co-opted our faith. Let's stop pretending. It's the only thing the followers are going to hear, I think. They are False Prophets, Pharisees, this is ANTI-Christian! Un-Holy. Evil. They spent 60 years saying the the Republican party was the party of God! We have to say that was a lie!!!
Excellent conversation yesterday, thank you for the work you do. For the life of me and it came up in conversation I believe about churches who simply remain mute to the point where members have already left and took their money with them. I've talked to the Rector who is new to our church (one year) but has been local for more than 10. I finally pointed him toward Mockingbird and offered to hook him up with people I knew there. He said he looked into it. He did not. It might be helpful to also add that he came to our church with his husband as well. I don't think he understands fully the impact he's had on the congregation of the church. I'm going to talk to the Parish Admin who has been there many years, she's very open to entering the trenches of getting dirty. Sorry for the ramble. It's disheartening at best but listening to your talk still gave me an iota of hope.
Someone asked regarding churches that are part of the resistance...if you are part of a congregation, please encourage them as a whole, or maybe a group of you, to join the RISE UP! Easter Action. More info here: https://www.congregationsfordemocracy.org

Time to recharge and ready ourselves for hands off day. You will be energized by all of the good people.
Check the National Park Service site - and Murray's house is still there: https://www.nps.gov/places/pauli-murray-family-home.htm
